FREE...TIBET...FREE...TIBET...FREE...TIBET...FREE...TIBET... ====================================== ====================================== The problem is not the political independence of TIBET, but to save the Tibetan traditions and culture with a particular attention to the Buddhist traditions. These traditions are important for all human beings in the world, even for people without a religion or with a different God. The differences are in fact a rich contribute to our souls and to expand the idea of a peaceful world. So you are involved in this because Chinese Government want to destroy these traditions and Buddhism in particular. Let’s do what we can do to save our right to differences. Thank you for your attention. CIAO GINTAS!
