voice of tibet

     

Our dear friends,

I hope you all enjoyed last week, for each of us I imagine, deeply personal and precious moments. It was lovely to see you all and especially the sense of community, love, joy, connection and hope in the faces of our Tibetan friends in the presence of His Holiness, the highlight for me.

Alex and I wished to give a gift back to our Tibetan friends (see flyer attached) after being a part of last week. Having also being witness to your deepest anguish since March 10 that is ongoing – we dedicate this film to help continue the momentum of having your voices heard throughout the world in this critical year for Tibet and hope and pray, many voices will join you along the way.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture with us, educating us about your peaceful struggle which represents love, truth, patience, freedom, reconciliation, resilience, dignity and hope among many other things.

Thank you for sharing with us your wealth of spiritual wisdom that is Tibetan Buddhism, that encourages one to be a better person every day for the sake of others.

We feel so strongly, this cause and the people connected to it have chosen us to help join with your voices.

Also, instinctively we feel a strong bond and genuine love for your people and admire the highest human values your struggle represents. We support your appeal to the conscience of all humanity with the path of truth before you.

We will always be learning along the way, and encouraging others to stand up for Tibet as we pledge our commitment of solidarity with you - and will continue to work with you, up until and beyond we see tangible change inside Tibet.

This film we dedicate to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama,
The hope that the voices crying out in Tibet will be heard.
A prayer for peace in Tibet and in the hearts of the Tibetan People.

With love and prayers
Karen & Alexander Collier

 

 

 

800 years of relationship between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetans was clearly reflected upon faces of almost all Tibetans in Sydney as Holiness spoke on the importance of building close relationship with local Chinese. He spoke about the importance of language and maintaining Tibet’s unique culture of being compassionate Human.

Like many Tibetans, I have been dubbed as a peaceful ‘Stalker’ of Holiness during his stay in Sydney, Australia.

 

I enjoyed scanning some bubbly, some confused but some clearly drunk after 5 intensive ‘Stages of Meditation’. ‘Spiritually intoxicating’ as i would call them.

 

A very brief audience with Holiness was nerve wrecking. Frozen, lost, speechless and heart pumping. I was indeed intoxicated with spiritual in Holiness presence. May Holiness live long to pass on his wisdom, love and compassion to all sentient beings.

 

Sun to be shine through rain

Sydney to be blessed

With your Visit, Your Holiness

 

Welcome to this great country

Fate we share

To be an ethical human being.

A friend sent me story in action and such a lovely idea to create awareness of Human Rights issue in Tibet. In London on 22nd, May with The Dalai Lama’s handshake on leaving the Royal Albert Hall was passed along a human chain of over 2000 activists who took to the streets of the city, shaking hands with each other right up to the Chinese Embassy. The activists wore T-shirts saying “Give Real Talks A Hand” and, in Chinese, “One China — Talks on Tibet”. They joined a procession behind the handshake, led by three children, culminating in the delivery of Avaaz’s 1.67-million global petition for meaningful dialogue between China and the Dalai Lama at the embassy.

Hand-shake started off with His Holiness

Going Strongly……………………..
