From Now Until Whenever ..Truths


The news from Tibet is not good . Suffering is being heaped upon suffering with even more suppression and abuse of human rights . This in 2008 !
I read the following in the press .."Having some problems crop up is nothing to make a big deal out of. We just need to deal with them in an appropriate manner," said senior army General Zhang Wentai. "It won't affect the Olympics, or the country's overall security."
Hmm with Tiananmen Square as an example ,'appropriate manner' can be understood .
From now until the end of the Olympic Games in China , I plan to post words from the Dalai Lama . There is so much truth in them along with compassion and peace. So here goes for today ......

"The very purpose of our lives is happiness and joyfulness. That is very clear "

Ps) Try his official website . http://www.dalailama.com/
It's like sunshine and fresh air breaking through into an all too often sad world.
