WORD-UP:
China-Let My People Go!
Until China recognizes the Dalai Lama as the Spiritual and Supreme Leader and Figurehead of all Tibetans, they will never be able to prevent Tibetans from dissenting against China's rule. All that the Dalai Lama wants from China is Self Governance, and Political Autonomy.
If that is given Tibet, they will accept China as their country, and the Communist Party as their supreme rulers.
In Buddhist philosophy, it is taught that in one's life, BALANCE MUST be sought and maintained. If there is no balance between the physical body, and the inner mind or spirit, then suffering will ensue very soon.
The Buddhist way and beliefs are very simple.
* Live a peaceful life.
* Promote peaceful actions in ones life and villages.
* Never use violence to achieve anything:
The Karmic law, or the law of cause and effect, is Buddhist in concept. Buddhists also believe that the state, like the human soul has to pay a price for actions detrimental to maintaining the balance in all things.
Just how long can the younger Buddhist followers are able to restrain themselves from violent protest for Independence of Tibet, is anyone's guess!
