Tibet is my
country
Tibetan is
my language
I was born a
son of Tibet. My struggle destination is the country of Tibet - until we (all of
Tibetan’s who live outside of Tibet) will be together and reunited again in our
motherland. As for all human beings, they can investigate themselves what is
right and wrong. What kind of things are most necessary for one’s life,
what do we need to feel freedom? We Tibetan’s are always searching for these
things for more than a half century now. A number of people have lost their
lives, they have lost families, relatives, parents and children because we
don't have basic human rights as other democratic countries do. But we Tibetan’s always keep going, with our
supporters, we want to tell the world what is our main struggle. We always
campaign for Tibetan people, for our rights as human beings and for truth.
Since my country
has been occupied by the People’s Republic of China, the peaceful country of Tibet
has completely changed. It is terrible
and appears to be getting worse. Most of the Tibetan important politicians and
religious leaders have been in killed and the rest of them put in prison for
long periods of time. Tibetan historical places such as monasteries and
nunneries have been totally destroyed and books burned. The Chinese government has
made many announcements worldwide about the Tibetan occupation. They use propaganda
to the world to say that there is peaceful liberation in all three regions
including Tibet. Actually we can see in
Tibet that this is not the case. The Chinese Government attempts to wash the
mind of the new generation of Tibetan children. Through movies and school books,
they hold workshops teaching that Tibet is part of China. In the school system
they have removed the Tibetan language. We Tibetan’s must educate our youth
in Tibetan language and the history of our country, in particular the details
about the Tibetan political position from the eyes’ of the world.
For all Tibetan people who live in exile, we need to take action
rather than sit in silence. We can continue in life and find the courage to
lead people and make a difference. Great leaders like Nelson Mandela, Martin
Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi did not wait for others to lead, we should use
them as our roles models for change. And in the words of His Holiness the Dalai
Lama, never give up.
