This from the International Campaign for Tibet today:
If you live in the United States, please send the following message to your Senators and urge them to cosponsor Senate Resolution 356, which:
• mourns the death of Tibetans who have self-immolated;
• calls for China to allow unrestricted access to Tibet to journalists, foreign diplomats, and international organizations;
• asks for an accounting of Tibetans detained for peacefully protesting, and of monks forcibly removed from Kirti monastery;
• requests the Department of State to continue to seek a U.S. consulate in Lhasa, Tibet, and to not consent to the opening of any Chinese consulate in the U.S. until one in Lhasa is established.
Send a message to your elected officials here.
For updates about all that’s been happening within Tibet in recent months, I recommend checking out (for which I also blog).
ABOUT OFF THE CUSHION
This blog begins with the assumption that Thai social critic and engaged Buddhist thinker Sulak Sivaraksa is correct when he says, "Any attempt to understand Buddhism apart from its social dimension is fundamentally a mistake." It also affirms Cambodian peace activist and Buddhist monk Maha Ghosananda's belief that "we must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of human experience, temples that are filled with suffering." Therefore we shall seek to look closely at contemporary human problems in light of Buddhist thought, looking for ways to apply Buddhist values in service of a more just, peaceful, and loving world.
