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

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.

bienvenida

Dear friend of a Free Tibet, welcome to our network.Thanks a lot for joining us!
All across the world, candles are glowing with the light of love and compassion for the people of Tibet. The purpose has been to focus the attention of the whole world on the Chinese government’s inhumane treatment of these gentle people so dear to us.
We also hope to help every individual who visits our network to become more aware of the need to take a stand against the violation of human rights by any country towards any individual, people, or nation.
Today, we have the opportunity to make our voices heard and unite as “One World, One People.” Let us not think this one protest fulfills our duty, our obligation to our fellow humans. Wherever you are, please open your eyes and see the suffering in the world around you, and let it hurt you to your very soul.
Then make a personal vow to keep the flames of protest against human suffering that we have begun here burning brightly every day of your life until all people the world over are free.
Please investigate the injustices the people of Tibet have and still are suffering through the following link www.candle4tibet.org.
If you want to know more about CFT please see this video interview about the aim of CFT and enjoy this radio interview.
You can view pictures of light protest vigils by selecting Groups at the top of this page, and then select Light Protest Photos. You can view the videos on YouTube.
We hope that you'll find your experience here enriching, educating and fun. We have learned to laugh with each other even through our tears of sadness. Bonds of friendship have been formed, and life-long, life-changing memories have been made.
Personally, I have never had a more rewarding experience than I have here, joining with so many loving and compassionate people who want to end suffering.
This network will continue to exist as long as there is suffering in the world, and people who care.
Love & Freedom
Diane and all her friends for a Free Tibet
