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.
In many areas inc Lhasa Tibetans are under curfew and there are helicopters ready to shoot them if they go out. They are being starved to death with all amenities cut off and cannot even go out to get water or food. Many people feel that although this teaching was organised a while back He knew before and while obstensiably being a high teaching on Madyamika it is in fact a chance for him to talk to all the people (without media) and say what is really going on and ask for all these very influential people to do whatever they can. He recognises that not much can be done and just said again and again 'please think' what you can do....
So this is my feeble attempt to do what i can and get the word out...Many thanks
