My heart aches for Your hearts that break. I shed tears mingling with Yours for the forgotten years; The tortured monks and nuns… For your people who suffer still With no voice to teach Your hopeless, hungry, young. Only your elder's tears Know of the deep sorrow Of your lost lives, lost culture, Your sacred Buddhist beliefs, Your divine history that Continues to be destroyed. Even as your dead fall You do not hate… You only wish to liberate Those loving souls who Remain as strangers in their Own beloved land. Let me be your voice To join with other voices that Will help you attain freedom.

Sad to see culture being destroyed by a steamroller. It is a real heartbreak. Thank-you for this moment.

This is the natural order of all things. But just as individual life itself reaches a zenith and then begins a gradual decline - thus all great civilizations so rise and fall! The great Asian mountains of the Tibetan plateau will witness the creation and destruction of all the worlds greatest empires until there exists only one race...the human race!! Connie, my very best regards to you! Your friend, always! :) john.

The voice of those who teach love and peace does not go down well with politicians who want to push forward their own agendas. I hope that many more like you will join your plea for them to be free. Even signing the online petitions helps. #7 // paul
