Free Tibet?


Years ago, it all started with one of those famous bumper stickers with the “Free Tibet” legend on them. I had heard all the history about China vs. Tibet and the way many monks were killed. There is also the movies in which we have seen the Dalai Lama flee out of the Potala. I believe many hate and murder has been written in here. Too much hate and anger, indeed...

The other day I encountered myself with one of those bumper stickers in a way to a meeting in downtown Mexico City. It brought me a lot of memories, but also the thought of the liberation of Tibet.

People are still looking for Tibet’s freedom. But does it really matters these days if the Tibet is freed?


Liberty is a mind state. If China is the apparent owner of Tibet that has no importance. It is a concept, after all.

The flow of things is natural.

The spirit of things overcomes words and frontiers.

Is it important to carry a “Free Tibet” sticker around looking for justice to be made? I believe justice is subtle; I believe we are grown-ups as human beings and we all know if China is wrong. And that is something that China, in all the greatness of it’s culture and people must know for themselves.

If you tell me, I believe the Tibet is already free. I believe we don’t need more bumper stickers, just a little knowledge of our conscioussness.

Peace...

Indeed and sadly, many acts of injustice are still felt through.

We all know that, as the post says, ... even China, yes.

That knowledge will strike through the problem's core. It can take many years, maybe more; but I have no doubt that Tibet is already free.

How can man tell Nature what boundaries, frontiers or limits are? That has no importance for the place we call Tibet.

Men creates this boundaries. Man creates this illusions about what is or what should be.

Jails are not real for a free man. Cages can't prevent your spirit from having wings.

It can be cruel for some, it can be wisdom to others... it has no importance... Tibet is free.

Best regards,
