A Message From Tibet

This is a message from Tibetan who traveled to India on a pilgrimage to see His Holiness The Dalai Lama. The Tibetan confirms that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing offer Tibetans and their supporters an unprecedented opportunity to draw attention to China's occupation of Tibet. The Tibetan also says that if the movement is started outside of Tibet, Tibetans are "ready and waiting" to take action inside Tibet.
