Vigil for Victims in Ngaba, Tibet HD

On Wednesday, October 19, 2011, the Tibetan community in the Twin Cities gathered for a Candlelight Vigil on the plaza of the Courthouse in downtown Minneapolis. They stood together to protest the oppressive conditions in Ngaba, Tibet, which have led to the self-immolation of ten Buddhist monks and nuns over the past two years.

This video is a simple tribute to the memories of those individuals. The names and circumstances of each individual is read by Tenzin Sonam. The music is from Lama Chenno.

We hope you'll receive this message...

And while I’m here and write these lines with an ink stained with tears my thoughts are in the place that I call my homeland, Tibet, the land of snow, our land.

I don’t know much about life but I know I’m Tibetan. That’s how I feel and that won’t change. Even if I don’t have much to show, this is my pride.

We’re all the same; we stick together. And wherever we are on earth, we have a common brotherhood...
