 A Personal Request from Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche  I am sending below a personal request from Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche, Prime Minister of Tibetan government in Exile to all the Tibet Support Groups in the world. Please read the following links for more information. Press conference: http://www.tibet.net/en/flash/2008 Press release: http://www.tibet.net/en/prelease/2008/140808.html Dear Friends, You might have seen the Appeal issued by the Tibetan Solidarity Committee to request all Tibetans, Tibet Support Groups and peace-loving people of the world to observe a 12-hour symbolic fasting and prayer on particularly, for the departed souls of the Tibetan people in recent months in Tibet. The appeal also re-commits ourselves to the path of non-violence. The objectives and how to observe the fasting are mentioned in detail in the appeal. If you have not received the appeal as yet, please visit our official website www.tibet.net and www.stoptibetcrisis.org. We consider this as extremely important non-violent action taken by Tibetans under the leadership of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in a very critical period for Tibet, particularly the post-Olympic period. I personally request you and your organization to kindly participate in this fast and prayer and encourage many other people to join us in this effort to reduce our own defilements and to create wisdom and compassion in the minds of the oppressor. I believe you will cooperate us in this non-violent action. Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche KALON TRIPA terug naar boven |
