Amidst widespread reports from within Tibet, one fact is emerging. The Chinese authorities are using massive force against Tibetan demonstrators.
Media footage shows violence on both sides, but the only killing appears to have been the shooting of Tibetans by Chinese troops.
During a demonstration in Dublin, Ireland, the day before yesterday, one of our small Tibetan community was receiving phone calls from within Tibet. Tibetans estimate the number of Tibetans killed by the Chinese security forces in the last few days to be many hundreds.
What can you do?
Follow the links posted by Jenny re.Tibet on the "God" thread.
Practise "tonglen" on Tibet and China (if you're a Tibetan Buddhist meditator. HH the Dalai Lama does this daily.) If you're an activist, enter a dialogue with your local politicians, and media people. For example, there's a discussion going on worldwide at the UK TimesOnline newswebsite: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3566647.ece?Submitted=true.
You could also join International Campaign for Tibet, Campaign Free Tibet, or Students for a Free Tibet (google any of those names for the links.) Or start a local Tibet Support Group if there isn't one.
This is a good time for Dharma bums to get off their bums and support the home of the Dharma.
If you need any info, feel free to ask me.
Cheers.
