“For me, Tibet is a very serious subject, especially the lack of diplomatic relations”

Any Tibetan in occupied Tibet found holding political signs, owning the Tibetan national flag, possessing images of the Dalai Lama, attempting to escape the country, etc. are imprisoned for 10-20 years facing hard labor, torture and often executed -->

Thank you Felipe for your courage and for understanding the truth to power we hold. It is also a necessary reminder for non-Tibetans fascinated and devoted to Tibetan Buddhism to reciprocate by engaging and speaking-out about the prosecutions and traumas faced by Tibetans -->

And last month, it seems like he was able to receive blessings from His Holiness. What a beautiful and deserving continuity to his journey. Makes me extremely happy for him -->

He then decided to take direct action to inform the world with “a humble protest and the risk of imprisonment. Till today the Tibetan people suffer from the brutal oppression from the Chinese government and the whole world closes their eyes in the face of so much brutality”, he wrote -->

Then in 2013, he traveled to occupied Tibet to better understand Buddhism but was appalled by the colonizer CCP’s draconian policies that aggressively and brutally impacted - what he calls - the best country and people on this planet -->

I second that motion!
