Since then Tibetans living in free countries have started many different activities against the Chinese, because China treated Tibetans living in Tibet so badly. If at that time Dharamsala and Beijing had already come to terms with each other in some kind of an agreement, we could have avoided the self-.immolation movement. Unfortunately the two parties, Dharamsala and Beijing have been beating around the bush with their arrogant behaviour which has resulted in this kind of human tragedy; so many young people have lost their lives!

Cannot China and Dharamsala learn something from this terror and hurry up with the dialogue? I have said it already in 1988 and I say it again – unless China willingly cooperates with the Centre Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala and solves this issue soon, there will be more nightmares and bloodshed. If neither side is capable of putting aside their arrogant attitude, bringing about a quick dialogue and settling the situation, then my team is willing to help you if you need us. At least I am a Tibetan who believes in a solution. Nothing is impossible if you give a third party the chance to solve your interest. We are waiting…. and we can help!

We therefore must be conscious about the children and care for them and introduce them an excellent understanding of a healthy relation with men and environment. In this way we all will learn to respect the nature and in return nature will care for us for many countless generations yet to come.

The spirit and future of Tibet are the children and rivers, but they deserve a good and a unique care and education that will bring a positive relation with the surrounding countries and the rest of the world. They will also learn and to fight for the most important issue such as on environmental problems that we are facing today in our world.

Therefore I ask you the citizen of this world to kindly support the Swedish Tibetan Society for School and Culture’s wonderful work that they are doing inside Tibet. With help of STSSC, we can save both Tibet and its keeper, the children! You can do it if you really want to support Tibet!

Long shok, long shok, long shok,

Citizens of the world,

There is extreme injustice around us,

The rich and powerful people,

Who decides everything about our lives?

People have no freedom of speech or freedom of movement,

How can we be so blinded?

Long Shok, long shok, long shok,

The change has come; it must be put into practice,

Unless we do it together we cannot help others or ourselves,

There is hurry, please hurry up, so that the many poor and suffering people in this world can be liberated,

Let`s say LONG SHOK for injustice in this world which is slowly killing our mother earth!

Wake up, wake up, and wake up?!

Long shok, long shok, long shok,

Every 1 out of 100 citizens is rich and greedy and they have full control over the rest of the 99 % of the human beings and environmental issues on this earth.

What is happening to us? Are we dumb and stupid?

The answer is NO!

We have given them the chance again and again so many times, but they never learn from their mistakes.

Therefore I am doing a long time retreat, meditating and reflecting on my life and the surroundings.

I hope that I will improve myself and hopefully I can help my friends and all the sentient beings.

Until I complete my retreat there will be no articles but some songs now and then…

The Cultural Attaché at the Chinese Embassy came to see me and informed me that I was invited for the peaceful -liberation celebration of Tibet. We were invited there because of building 108 schools and 108 libraries and helping and supporting 13000 children’s education in the whole of Tibet.  These children are from the poor farmers and nomadic areas and many of them go for high studies and to universities both in Tibet and China.

It took time for me and my friend to accept the invitation, but after thinking very carefully we accepted the invitation. We left from Sweden on 11^th. July and we had an appointment in Beijing with the Swedish Embassy on 12^th. July, 2011. At every airport I was asked many questions and interrogated by the visa section. Since I had got a letter from the Chinese Embassy about my trip to Tibet to show to responsible people at the airport I was allowed to enter the country! That was a tough and `beyond my entire expectation´ journey! Woh, guys you must learn to breathe in and out, and meditation!

We took the plane to Chengdu on 13^th July and in Chengdu airport we met Mr. Tsultrim and a Nyingma Lama from Switzerland. We flew to Lhasa and there at the airport we were welcomed by people from the United Front and they took us on a completely new road that took only 45 minutes to Lhasa and our hotel. The airport and the new road to Lhasa were very big and nice and developed, and the houses and trees on the sides of the main road were very impressive and wonderful.

The name of the hotel is Bramaputra and it is a five star hotel. The hotel is very good and the food and their hospitality were almost excellent, except that we were not at all allowed to go out of the hotel, because of security reasons.  My friend was sick because of not getting enough fresh air and of staying too much inside the hotel. We were only allowed to walk around the car parking areas at the hotel. The Lhasa authority and United Front were concerned about our security, but we were not so used to these kinds of security procedures and we were all bored to death! We asked our host to take us for sightseeing in the city, but instead they took us for a nice picnic in a newly created amusement park near Sera Monastery. We enjoyed that day very much, because we got fresh air and saw the blue sky. What a joy!

Yes, I was in the sky city, the capital of Tibet, Lhasa, but there were clouds and rain everywhere so that you could hardly see anyone there, except the gate keepers and soldiers everywhere on the streets.

It was so strict and so ghostly that you could even feel the uncomfortable atmosphere in the air. The whole city was almost empty, yet Lhasa is a developed city with a population of approximately 500.000 excluding soldiers and guests. I together with my friend was invited to Lhasa for the celebration, but nobody knew when the main celebration programme was to start. Everything was highly confidential and so secret that you could hardly even guess about it.

We were thirteen so called shameless exile Tibetan guests from seven nations, such as Switzerland, Italy, England, Scotland, Australia, Nepal and Sweden. We were called this kind of name by the exile Tibetans because we were invited for the 60 years peaceful-liberation celebration of Tibet by the People’s Republic of China. I do not know whether we thirteen are all shameless or not, because we all were there for different reasons. But it is nice to know that our visit to Tibet gave some of the people who live outside of Tibet the opportunity to criticize, and at the same time to get involved in Tibet issues. Wake up!

We met many important people from TAR and China. We had also the opportunity to exchange ideas and questions with them. It was nice to talk and exchange ideas about Tibet on a personal level to a person, instead of criticizing behind people`s backs. We had seen a wonderful show at the Tibet Opera Hall with hand-picked guests only. There we met 59 leaders from Beijing who came for that occasion. We were all checked from head to toe before we went in to see the show. The show was about how China liberated Tibet.

Some of our thirteen friends were extremely surprised with the development in Tibet, the other friends were not at all surprised. We were all different. It was a very interesting meeting. There were also questions and discussions on Tibet. How could it be possible to develop Tibet without taking anything from Tibet? , China will not put so much time and energy for nothing!

Unfortunately before 19-07-2011, that means, before the big celebration day, I had to leave for Aba and Maerkang. My visit to Maerkang went well even though the road was not good at all. Our projects in these areas are well established and benefited both individuals and communities who had suffered because of the earthquake. We saw plenty of ruins on the way, therefore we have helped more in these areas. Particularly for old people we are going to build a nice home. In this areas there are 152 monasteries and they had a big meeting when we were in Maerkang; Aba Prefecture. We have no idea what kind of gathering they had, but it was nice to see some monks there. Most people living in this area are Tibetans.

A bird nest without birds, what is it? China, a nation that is rapidly going foreword and will hopefully be the leading nation in the world. But this kind of narrow-mindedness with funny thought processes deducts from her creativity and credibility as a leading nation in the world. What a shame!

I am a good friend of China and I am ashamed of this kind of news that appeared in the world news. It was shocking news and sad for China. Had Mr. Ai Wei Wei not worked as an artist and put time and heart for his country when he was needed at the time of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing?

He is a true citizen of China and he had the highest ranking artist title in his country and abroad. He was a well known artist in the world too. He does not deserve this kind of punishment and discriminating processes in a country which is slowly becoming the biggest and most powerful nation in the world. How can we let him deduct from the credibility of the Chinese Nation that is so slowly marching into a perfect harmony? We must ask questions concerning this matter.

This kind of small incident can lead to a bigger chain reaction and at last one cannot control it at all. Be careful! Do we need this kind of reaction? I hope this will not happen! Please stop this kind of unbalanced attitude toward him and instead take care of him with respect and love and treat him as the highest qualified artist in China. Can this be a good idea for China or not? It is up to the leaders and people of China… I leave it to them!

I have no idea what he has done wrong, but I know him as an exceptional artist in China and in the world. He was one of the creators of the bird nest. Sorry, this is my spontaneous reaction, if I have made a quick judgment on Ai Wei Wei, please forgive me.

Friends of Ai Wei Wei, how can we help Ai Wei Wei and China?!

The Swedish Tibetan Society for School and Culture ( STSSC ) remarkably completed 108 schools with 108 libraries in Tibet and now the most important project left is to support the 13.000 dreams of the children`s  future. We request and need your love and compassion in action to support them so that they can get a complete education.

There are now more than 1000 students who are attending higher studies and university education both in Tibet and the Mainland of China. The STSSC supports these children.

Without our economic support and concern these children have no future at all. Please kindly think if you were in their situation and share some funds monthly so that you can also feel good that you are helping another human being. They need your action now!

There are many ways to help, but to act with love is the highest support that we can share with each other.

The families of these children are very poor and cannot support the high studies and university educations in Tibet; therefore I request you on behalf of these children and their parents, please kindly extend your hands to support their education.

Without education there is no future for Tibet, and the children are our future!

From beginning less time the rich and wealthy people have taken advantage of poor strong criminals for their own use. Despite these criminals having done horrible deeds, still the same trend goes on and on in the 21^st. century in a larger and more dangerous scale than ever before in the history of mankind. What can you expect from the criminals? Yes, they will do your job effectively and bring maximum result. When they became slowly free and rich they will turn their backs on their bosses and even exterminate them. That is what is really happening around us and in the world.

These criminals see only material comforts and fame, and the rest, such as value of human beings is useless for them. These criminals are only interested in pleasures and wealth and they do not have any ethics or morals. When they do not have any ethics or morals, they will do anything that is profitable for themselves alone. So we must wake up from our day dream and learn to watch those people/ criminals who are extremely clever in deluding us with many different forms of delusions. They are not working for us wholeheartedly, but they pretend they are doing work for us, yet they make money and names for themselves.

We must look into our past and present history at the so called good leader´s behaviour.

After they have done their work in the government or in the societies, have they become poorer, or richer and well known? Well, the answer to us is very easy. They all become rich and selfish. Do we want these kinds of people to rule our societies and the world? Yes, of course! We let them do it again and again, because we are also stupid and have no self -confidence at all.

In conclusion, if we want to change the society and the bigger world, we must wake up from our day dreaming – or intoxication from the five poisons – ignorance, desire, hatred, jealousy and pride.

If any good leaders can control these poisons, then we will have a completely new world order and there will be true justice for the people. Until then there will not be any justice at all no matter whatever you do or what you believe or create!

Wake up call!

Could it maybe be true that the whole world is in their hands?

What are some commonalities between these two great leaders?

They have the same clothes, the same ties and maybe even the same kind of shoes. They both have black hair, except that its dyed to look young and strong.   They give loans to other countries and make sensitive deals on the loan conditions and therefore those countries and people then become cornered. These business deals are very heavy, but it is O.K. because it is just a deal. `Business as usual´ as they say to each other when they meet! They talk about dollars and yuans constantly, but they may sometimes forget to discuss the human issues in both countries. That is also maybe alright, they are both super powers.

These two gentlemen are both interested in natural resources in the world and are careful! This was the eighth meeting between the two leaders, who were separated in age by many years – Obama being much younger- and taller. They share little in terms of chemistry. But they try their best to do their job!

What are the differences between the two great leaders?

One is black and the other is yellow. One is tall and the other one a little shorter.

Mr. Hu wears glasses while Mr. Barack doesn’t. Mr.Hu expresses hello with five fingers, showing his right hand, and ready to arm wrestle with his opponent, whereas Mr. Obama holds his hands together and whispered to Mr.Hu, `take it easy, we have a huge public who are checking and looking at us.

Mr. Hu is wise and Mr. Obama is intelligent.

Carter and Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Jackie Chan, Herbie Hancock, Vera Wang, Wendy Murdock. What are they doing there with the two leaders? Was it a fan club meeting or are they in Hollywood?

These two leaders have important issues that need to be solved concerning these seven  countries:

1. Tibet

2. Taiwan

3. Sinkiang

4. Afghanistan

5. North Korea

6. Iran

7. Burma

What is happening to the countries mentioned above? How are they going to solve these issues? The citizens of the world are waiting for an answer from these two leaders, since they are symbols of mighty power and maybe even more powerful than God. Let us wait and see what they can do!

Everything is possible!

USA fought for freedom from Britain and France, and China fought for freedom from Japan. Freedom is an immeasurable feeling, a feeling that belongs to all the human beings and even to the smallest insect in the Universe.  So how will two great leaders realize how important freedom or an open policy is for those countries above?

Please think and reflect on freedom… suppose if you do not have it!

Life is beautiful and ugly at the same time, but these two great leaders have the power to make it reasonably good for us.
