My wish is that there will be peace in Tibet. The protests have opened the door to shedding some light to the international community that has been ignored for some time now as old news. The only reason it seems to have been underestimated is that most people have not been there to witness the abuses that have occurred to the Tibetan and the Chinese people under their current rule.
I worry that the more the protests continue the more the violence will continue. Is it worth losing more lives? More Buddhist practitioners when that is what the world needs most right now. More compassion is what we all need for each other. Hate only breeds more hate.
I have friends there, I was there a few years ago. It is ironic to me that the book I have been trying to publish on my travels there just seemed to be brushed aside with no
real consideration. Now that it just happens to be big news. . .I decided to publish it myself. Tired of trying to find an agent to find a publisher for it to be "worthy" of publication out into the public eye. I think it would be nice for people to see the place in pictures and read the stories I had that opened my eyes and touched heart.
Otherwise it is unexplainable. Things can only really be known through personal and individual experience.
I hope that this blog becomes a place for peace for Tibet. Only through peace can we resolve issues.
Thanks for reading. . .
