Help to save Tibet

It's the first time that I start to go into politic on my blog. But there is a reason which is too important for me. Please help to save Tibet! As you know the conflict in Tibet, which the Chinese Governement want to beat down, is kept under strict control by them. The Chinese Gov. does everything to stop and interrupt correspondence and news outgoing Tibet. Officials mentioned about 80 deads, but the hidden truth is, that hundreds of Tibetians already died, where transported into prisons or elsewhere and lot's of moncs, familymembers and friends are missing. It's devastating for everyone there and for all the exil Tibetians living outside Tibet.

It's 20 years ago, when I first came in contact with Buddhism and it was the "Gelupka Buddhism" the one his holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of. I learned a lot and took this with me, even if I'm not a Buddhist anymore, essentials of this philosophy are still part of my life. I always had a great respect of the Dalai Lama but even more of the Tibetans still living in there own country, which is occupied by Chinese. Switzerland was among the first countries in the early 60's which took refugees from Tibet. Since then the biggest comunity of Tibetans lives in Switzerland and since the 90's even in Northamerica.

What's going on right now in one of the oldest cultures in this world needs to be stopped. They need our help and everyone should do a small bit to stop the Chinese Gov. from what they are doing right now.

Please do not misunderstand me, I strictly talk about the Chinese Gov. not the Chinese itself. It's one of the biggest countries in this world with the most inhabitans and an immense choice of culture, from Tibet over Mongolia crossover to Taiwan. Not only in Tibet they suffer from this harsh and ruthless Governement but in this very moment it's Tibet which needs our help.
