(Photo taken by Carey Linde in Vancouver, Canada in 2004 - Wikimedia Commons)
Dear Members,
Archbishop Desmond Tutu has recently stepped forward to express concern in a letter at what he called the deterioration of the human rights situation in Tibet.
We the undersigned Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, human rights leaders and concerned individuals wish to express our concern at the current deterioration of the human rights situation in Tibet, and the apparent breakdown of the talks between the Chinese government and emissaries of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. We are dismayed at the lack of any concrete progress toward resolving the conflict over the autonomy and religious freedom of the Tibetan people, and urge all parties involved to redouble their effort to achieve this vital goal.
"To our dear friend His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we say: we stand with you. You define non-violence and compassion and goodness. Clearly China does not know you. It is our sincere hope that they will. We call on China's government to know His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as we and so many others have come to know him during the long decades he has spent in exile.
The South African Nobel Peace Prize laureate asks us to raise our voices in support of the Dalai Lama and human rights.
Please sign the letter today and stand with them for the future of the Tibetan religion and culture.
In order for the signatures in support of Bishop Desmond Tutu's protest to reach him, please link directly to the original online posting from Mary Wald at TheCommunity.com. We have agreed to publish only part of this letter and link directly to The Community site where you can read the full text and sign in support. Please encourage your friends to do the same...
With thanks and gratitude,
Renee Sigel - iPeace Editor

Dalai Lama envoy urges China to suggest way forward - Reuters India, Thu Apr 9, 2009
LONDON, April 8 (Reuters) - China must suggest ways to break a deadlock in talks on Tibet or the Dalai Lama's representatives will assume Beijing is not interested in a negotiated solution, an envoy of the exiled spiritual leader said on Wednesday.
The last round of talks between China and envoys of the Dalai Lama failed in November when Chinese officials rejected their ca… Continue

No Room For Hate
No Room for Hate.
There is no room within my heart
for revenge, fire or hate
there is no room within my mind
for any thoughts like these.
I cannot find the words to say
just how it is I feel
but I know from deepest hurt
I must forgiveness find.
The hurt that’s been done to us
cuts sore like a knife,
but we must not, repay in kind
what has been done to us.
Instead we must try and find
the way that is… Continue

Don't Forget About China's Dissidents
August 7, 2008; Page A13
In the 1970s, the People's Republic of China held out appeal for American intellectuals disillusioned with Soviet Communism.
Journalists, academics, artists and religious leaders made the journey. Their admiring accounts reveal, as Paul Hollander described in his book "Political Pilgrims," that most of the visitors saw what they wanted to see, and in any case only as much as their Chinese hosts allowed.
Visitors to China these days are not looking for a… Continue

I am the Candle Flame
I am the candle flame for Tibet on high
My country stolen mountains in the sky
Valleys weep your clouds float on by
Freedom taken from me that’s why I cry
Oh mountain trails how I miss your track
My flame burns bright I want you back
Within my soul I yearn my eyes wet
Tibet you were my life ill not forget
Why did you come take my home away?
Even then you didn’t ask I had no say
You stole my heart my spirit all I had
Now here I burn my flame bright but sad
What did I do I ask the question why
For I grow weary to see my land for I die
Here I stand you smile look down on me
Ill fight for you till my death to set you free
So many years i've suffered silent in pain
How I yearn to touch your gentle soil again
To climb to yonder mountain peek above
Once more my spirit to feel of your love
Tony Robin Bulley 17th October 2008 ©
Vigil
Where are you now,with your palms together,
bowing,
your dark red robes
wrapping the wisdom
of a thousand years,
white knife peaks,
and over six thousand
monasteries?
Your home not your home
and yet your home always,
you wander,
you meditate,
you chant and pray;
you teach, you love,
or you stay
and must keep quiet.
Yet prayer flags still blow
in high Tibetan air,
prayer flags still blow
in the deep dark-eyed hearts
of your people.
There are places
the intruders,
the violators
cannot reach–
places alive with
the smiles and tears
of your lost land.
Red robed ones
with your calm eyes
upon the world,
you who pay homage
to the consciousness
in all things,
you who see far beyond
appearances:
you know past time,
you love past duality,
and yet you cry too.
The mountains of Tibet,
the vast plateaus and
green valleys,
the sky lakes and blue rivers,
the sons and daughters
of this sacred land
know and wait for you,
and for their time
within space and beyond
to be free.
