An Appeal to the Chinese People

Chinese brothers and sisters - wherever you may be - with deep concern I appeal to you to help dispel the misunderstandings between our two communities. Moreover, I appeal to you to help us find a peaceful, lasting solution to the problem of Tibet through dialogue in the spirit of understanding and accommodation.

With my prayers,

The Dalai Lama

The invasion of Tibet is not limited to the appropriation and exploitation of its rich and varied territorial resources, which include its five mountain ranges that furnish a major portion of China's water supply ("underground water in 90% of Chinese cities has been polluted by organic and inorganic pollutants" according to the BBC) and its deposits of copper, lead, zinc, iron ore and crude oil.

It is also aimed at eliminating the Tibetan identity.

Long live HHDL. His patience and compassion are an inspiration.

@bergmuecke

I only wrote my opinion. But you say that I'm "brainwashed".

This is not fair. Respect my opinion as I do yours... I have not called you brainwashed or compared you with a Nationalsocialist... I strongly oppose racism and seperatism, in fact, i'm a Internationalist, not Nationalist.

Just because we do not have the same opinion it doens't mean that one of us must be brainwashed ;-)

Do you know Dalai Lama's Friends? For example Harrer, Ex-Nazi-Officer.

Who is the Nazi? ;-)

@LeThoem Here is another one of those brain-amputated comments.

Thank for so bluntly displaying your ignorance - it is a true teaching because it can enlighten everyone who reads it on how a human mind can be manipulated and misinformed to a degree where it just repeats back what those in power want it to see. History is full of examples of the power of propaganda. Hitler's Germany being the best known. And stuff like that is still going on? Fascinating really ... and very scary ...

[LeThoem]

I Love Tibet - But I hate Dalai Lama. Tibet must be free and is free - Stop Dalai Lama who wants to bring THEOCRAZY back to Tibet!

@arafel1964, if BBC cant even stop the invasion and robbery of Iraq. What right do they have to criticize us? Mining in Tibet is a fraction of that in the rest of China. They government limits mining and manufacturing industry in Tibet. Because they are not brainless fucks like you! What sane people would industrialize Tibet???!! Doing that would be like destroying the natural environment of China, SE Asia and India. BBC just wanna rule the world Britain once lost.

[jimmyjamesWang]

@arafel1964, if that is true, than they are doing a lousy job at it. If they really want to eliminate the Tibetan identity, Tibet would have been as irreligious as the rest of China is. More than 98% of all Buddhist, Taoist, Confucius, and Local Deity Shrines were totaly destroyed in the rest of China, and most of its once massive group of believers were gone forever. We Han Chinese lost our culture and language in the last 60 years. Tibet doesnt even compare to a fraction of our own hardship.

i love you HH dalai Lama

[rigpadorje303]

What has modern life brought those of us in civilized countries? Along with the benefits, it also arms us with tools and methods with which we destroy ourselves. Being "modern" isn't necessarily a solution to anything.

[GVDkomop]

Damnn what a liar

[gotentk4]

Tibet needs to be more modern.
