[The Random Factor] One World One Dream

[The Random Factor]

Greetings brothers & sisters of Earth!

At last, the Olympics and China's coming
out party are almost upon us. It is sure to
be memorable!

Remember the opening and closing ceremonies
in Turin Italy where world-class athletes
were honored with decades old American
dance music including "YMCA" by the Village
People? Not this year.

This year's ceremonies could be the most
beautiful ever. But, there's a stink coming
out of China and it's not just the pollution.

China wants the whole world to just please
forget about over 5 million Tibetans!

In case you lack details from "credible"
news agencies you may remember Nick Harris'
report straight from Dharamsala, India the
home of the Tibetan government in exile
which welcomes haggard refugees daily.

Nick met many Tibetan refugees in India and
reports the following laws being imposed by
China on Tibetans in Tibet.

It is illegal to:

1. Practice any form of their religion
(the penalty for possessing a photo of
the Dalai Lama is now 4 YEARS IN PRISON
undergoing FULL TORTURE).

2. Possess the Tibetan flag (the penalty
is having your hands cut off).

3. In some cases to keep your own house.
Tibetans are being forced to destroy
their homes and borrow money from the
Chinese government in order to build new
Chinese style homes in preparation for
the Olympic games.

4. Teach their children in the Tibetan
language. All Tibetan children must take
school in Chinese.

5. To leave Tibet. Anyone caught trying
to leave is shot and killed. If they are
unlucky enough to survive they are kept
in a prison cell with no access to light
to be tortured for the rest of their
lives.

Since the Dalai Lama's teachings are at the
heart of Tibetan culture it's a great time to
revisit the teachings of the Dalai Lama &
Tibetan Buddhism.

I will be continuing from previous issues
#39, #40 part 1, & #40 part 2.
