An Appeal to the Chinese People from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Today, I extend heartfelt greetings to my Chinese brothers and sisters round the world, particularly to those in the People's Republic of China. In the light of the recent developments in Tibet, I would like to share with you my thoughts concerning relations between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples, and to make a personal appeal to you all.

There have been many reports by the Chinese saying that violent Tibetans and even violent monks have been responsible for the problems in Lhasa. Please read this report from Canada Free Press that outlines how Chinese authorities have attempted to manipulate the media into reporting that violent monks caused the recent riots - http://buddhism.kalachakranet.org/chinese-orchestrating-riots-tibet.htm
Also another seemingly reliable site is: http://agonist.org/taxonomy_menu/2/3/11/6 which gives news from various sources covering the days since 10th March

The Chinese are so paranoid of protests upsetting their torch relay that they have asked Australian Federal Police to hand over security to its own forces when the torch lands in Australia next month. LOL! "We have explained to the Chinese Embassy that people have a democratic right in Australia to stage demonstrations and people are free to demonstrate when the torch does arrive, but we would hope that demonstrations are peaceful and won't disrupt the relay in any way." said AOC spokesman Mike Tancred.

Dear all,
I am in Delhi in a very very special teaching by HH only 100 people all the most famous western Buddhist scholars from all around the world (tibetan tradition) and a few layabouts like myself who sneaked in. No media allowed etc. Today HH talked long about what is really happening in Tibet it is really sad and moving. He made a heartfelt request that we do all we can to get the word spread.

We at Freedom4Tibet think that this is a really good petition that you can sign to help Tibet now!
Australians have a unique opportunity, right now, to influence what is happening in Tibet. Please sign the petition before Kevin Rudd heads to Beijing to meet the Chinese President and Premier. Let's let our PM know he has a strong mandate to stand up for the rights of Tibetans. Sign the petition

What can you do in Australia to help Tibet? The best thing you can do is write to your local, state and federal politicians. Tell them that you are not happy with the current situation in Tibet and tell them that you want them to address your concerns.

URGENT APPEAL
Since 10th March 2008 there has been successive peaceful demonstrations in various parts of Tibet (inside and outside TAR), which were brutally suppressed.
The current situation in Tibet is extremely serious. The Chinese government's ultimatum is due to expire at mid-night today. Therefore, we are extremely concerned that there is every possibility of a huge massacre of Tibetans taking place after the ultimatum.
