For those who was there, the campaign was not only for Tibet but flyers were also distributed in regards to Cebu fragile environment (as spearheaded by the Circle of Friends for the Environment). The Tibet issue took the center stage due to the recent mass arrest and killings, a clear genocide issue being done to a cultural minority. Cebu's environment was included in this project.
Different priorities same goal, a sustainable and peaceful world to all not just for one country.all r related.
It's not just the Buddhist monks that are presecuted, even Catholic priest that are loyal to the pope are underground in China. We believe that in this age, all countries should respect the U.N. Declaration of Basic Human Rights to all. This issue is for basic human rights of the Tibetans, like freedom of worship and to live as themselves. We have that choice, others don't. This does not mean that we cannot help other people inspite of our problems. As Chirstians and humans, it is our duty.
I have march shouting anti "US-Marcos Diktadoria" but I was able to march and was able to express myself. We are talking about complete repression to a nation illegally occupied. Churches are open and our priest are not presecuted. Tibetan monks are being murdered right now in Tibet. A mere picture of their pope, the Dalai Lama could get them 10 years in prison. Women are being sterilized and Tibetans cannot even have their language in schools and offices.
Those who think that Tibet is a lost cause are suffering from "a failure of imagination." The Tibetan cause is a complete focus of where the energy should go. The Tibet freedom movement must not be allowed to fail. It represents the antidote to all the trends that are destroying the planet; commercialism, industrialism, militarism and environmental destruction. ~Prof R. Thurman~
