Mankind is crying out for help. Ours is a desperate time. Those who have something to offer should come forward. Now is the time.
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama |
During his Australian tour in 2007, His Holiness the Dalai Lama stated that ‘Tibetan culture could be "finished" in 10 -15 years, if China does not allow the region to govern itself.’ He also said that this was a very critical time for Tibet, and that we, as westerners, should do whatever we can to help the Tibetan situation.
With the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, it is a critical time politically for Tibet as world attention focuses on China and its’ questionable human rights record is brought to public attention. Indeed this could be one of the last significant opportunities to save the Tibetan culture from annihilation.
