23 AOUT 2008 - Peace March for the closing of the Olympic Games in Kathmandu - "Save Tibet"
To mark the closing of the Olympics' Nepal Tibetan Solidarity Committee has organized a march in Kathmandu for peace to draw attention to the plight of Tibetans. Their exile has lasted 50 years now. Objectively what conclusions can we ask today on the choice of peaceful non-violent these people? What won the Tibetans?
A coast unwavering sympathy! ! ! For what results in practice?
dramas continue to be perpetrated in Tibet killings, disappearances, torture, rape ... More refugees arrive every year via Nepal to Dharamsala. In practice nobody cares. Finally, only India and Nepal have actually helped the Tibetan people to survive in exile.
The rest is just wind well packaged. Everything is marketing. Tibetans are used as stooges. |
"This is a selfish world my friend, no one cares for anyone. Praying for all sentient Beings IS outdated, nirvana is for self only ..."

Hope has left the eyes, there remains a large void.
I do not think the Chinese are very strong in Anglo-Saxon language. But when activists seek to free Tibet, their slogans are written in English, to whom are they for? Who will free Tibet? Instead of always looking outside one does not seek to solve problems from within.
to kowtow to the West seems to be dollarized no fruit, and we recognize the tree by its fruit, is not it. The Tibet liberate himself when he is strong chains will break themselves on top of the world imperishable. The regular appearance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to George W. Bush does not seem very appropriate. Sully its image to get thousands of visas is it reasonable?
There is always a strong East-West antagonism of the Tibetan population and it is likely to increase even with the reopening of the highway connecting India through Sikkim to Lhasa and Shigatzé. Logically, the Karmapa in Sikkim would increase its power, although the Gelugpa hold their own Karmapa in Dharamsala.
The stupa Bodhanath east of Kathmandu is the most sacred Buddhist monuments in Nepal, while Swayambonath west would be the oldest.
Unable to get inside a stupa, turn around in the direction of clockwise as Buddhists, in the opposite direction as the old Bön tradition.
A bone of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni and other sacred relics are contained in the heart of the stupa.
On my first trip to Nepal in November 2005 had haunted this place to detect different vibration contradictory. Observing-participant had better perceived nuances between the different families of Tibetan Buddhism, especially me with the compassion into action locally. In each sleeps a Tibetan shaman, constitutive secret at the heart of Buddhist practice. Me proposing to lower job-karma I had the opportunity to paint the frames surrounding the prayer wheels of the stupa for 2 days by reciting the mantra "Om Mani Padme Om." This short work would have karmic consequences are not insignificant, and I never got private.
Unfortunately it is clear that this year the dome of the stupa, called "Khumb" and usually covered with lime, has deteriorated and remains closed to the public. How frustrating not to turn in circles as the lower floors. Is it due to pollution in Kathmandu or recrudescent few resources allocated by the state to restore the sacred stupa ready for the start of the tourist season?
Hopefully places of worship will be protected by this new fledgling democracy in Nepal.
Cult-Culture-Maoism will they mix?

This march for peace seems incomplete, Indeed all the rebels had been possible previously taken out of harm's way by the Nepalese police.
Prashand
, the Maoist prime minister, went to Beijing Benjing assuring his majesty that no overflow would occur in Kathmandu during the closure of these games.
