going on today as well..




Today is the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising that forced His Holiness out of Tibet and there are demonstrations worldwide and I will shed some tears. I appreciate the New York Times putting His photograph and the day’s importance on the front page today. It’s a very small world these days my lovely readers, oppression ‘next door’ affects us and our children here, and everywhere.

Bless the Dalai Lama and may his country be free. I forgive him for being an insect-loving meat-eater.

This is all true. He does loves all forms of life and eats meat "because this body needs it". Most Tibetans are meat eaters, the high plateaus of the Himalayas are not conducisve to vegetable gardens.
Thank you for coming by.
