Tomasito: BLOGGAH!

Being a Bloggah is definitely one of the most fun experiences I have ever had.

There is NO money in it--and almost NOBODY reads any of the four blogs I have a hand in producing--but it is great fun imagining that anyone anywhere in the world with a computer, electricity and the Internet can read my stuff!

This is a writer's DREAM come true!

You don't have to wait for an editor to like and buy your stuff--you don't have to worry about the printing processes or about distribution or selling anything!

You just sit down and BLOG to your heart's content!

If blogging had only been around years ago--well, it would be a different person writing this for sure!

Anyway, Dear Reader--Me BLOGGAH!

No Change Tibet's Middle Way Policy

No Change for Middle Way Policy of Tibet Toward China

The meeting of more than six hundred Tibetan leaders from every background which ended last week did not decide on any new approach to the China/Tibet stand-off.

Because there are still behind the scenes workers running between Dharamsala and Beijing, according to news sources, the Dalai Lama said that the Tibetans should wait “one more month” before making any decision to change their present “middle way” policy.

The Dalai Lama remains convinced that there will be a non-violent solution to the problem—which is the Chinese political take-over of Tibet—and the subsequent destruction of the Tibetan way of life.

Peace and the Dalai Lama

Papier mache mask of the Dalai Lama by Tomasito, 2008.

As a spokesperson for compassion and peace, the most influential living human being is probably the current Dalai Lama.

He is now-- and has been for decades-- up against one of the most hardened bureaucracies on the planet: the communist government of China--which invaded Tibet years ago and which has no intention of relaxing its control over the country.

As I understand it--what the Dalai Lama wants is not total independence but a certain amount of autonomy for the Tibetan people--especially concerning their practice of the Buddhist religion.

But China refuses to allow any degree of autonomy.

At this time, The Dalai Lama has suggested to the leaders of Tibet that they meet without him to discuss what they should do about the impasse.

He will speak to the world news about the result of their meeting on November 23, 2008.

Those who admire and respect the Dalai Lama are waiting with great curiosity to hear what he will say.
