Thugs

A big Chinese company fooled hundreds of poor  Tibetans, and the Chinese government stand by the cheater and hauled those pathetic tibetans out of the protesting vicinity in show of force. what could happen to these Tibetans now ? if they were Chinese, would it make a difference? Will they have a more positive ending to their plight? is it not right to say, the Chinese government is run by a group of thugs, who forceably removed these Tibetans from the site of the company. The Tibetans were not given the opportunity to voice their concern, the company did not heed to their complaints. here is the details; http://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/tibetansroundedup-11062009143230.html
law abiding citizen demanding restitution for the losses incurred as consequence of joining the TIENS corporation. It is unthinkable,that the government backs up the very company that foul played with these rustic villagers and illterates.  This is yet another example, of how Tibetans can never trust the Chinese.

Help

  Hundreds of Tibetans claiming they were cheated in a pyramid scheme run by a purported health-products company are demanding their money back and staging protests in several Chinese cities, spokesmen for the group say.

The group’s representatives, who want restitution from TIENS at its company headquarters in northeastern Tianjin municipality, said Tibetan investors were promised large returns on initial investments but have received nothing.

Those who brought in additional investors as instructed by the company also saw their friends and family cheated out of funds, they said.

Wake up call

The most meaningful way of showing our allegiances to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the hope he represents for the six million Tibetan is not  shedding crocodiles tears, but by serving Tibet cause in our own capacity.

Light of Truth Award

His Holiness the Dalai Lama bestowed the "The Light of Truth Award" to U.S humanitarian the late Julia Taff and a Chinese group who signed the open petition, " 12 points of Dealing with Tibetan situation". This was my only opportunity  to see HH while he is here for few days. Being on reporting duty, does not allow you the normal calmness and peace with which you can hear and be blessed by HH. However, I feel I did both.Not only, I have listend to HH speak and be graced with His Presence in hall. At the same time, I did not shun my responsibilities, so I had done all the necessary things for my report purpose.

ICT organized a fantastic award presenting ceremony. His Holiness on the stage was flanked by some very powerful and influntial people, including Nancy Pelosi, actor Richard Gere, former ambassador, former special coordinator for Tibet,  Paula Donbrinsky and Wangli xion.  Author Wang accepted the prize with dignity and defied.  In his acceptance speech, he paid tribute to the originator and composer of the petition Lixiong me, who is serving three year prision term in China and claimed that prize recognizes all the 308 brave people who at the stake of their own freedom, openly supported the petition.  Author Wangli alluded his own possible risk with the Chinese government. The hall packed audience, applauded HH the Dalai Lama's simple and straightforward message, his clarity of thoughts and the divine power of reaching out to all walks of life is just phenomenal. 

Nancy Pelosi says "We are so lucky that  we breath the same air as His Holiness the Dalai Lama".

Geared up for HH visit

Tibetans in Washington metropolitan areas will have a field day with the presence of H.H the Dalai Lama in the nation's capital for 5 days  from Today. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is not only the spiritual guru for Tibetans,  he is the world's holiest man, the prince of peace. I had the fortune of several close audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama including three times  in the U.S. As Richard Gere says "HH empowers us in a powerful way."

In Ancient time, people believe that the sun revolves around the earth, until Nicolaus Copernicus proved heliocentric by saying that the sun was the center of the universe and it is never moving. But before Copernicus they were lots of people, especially in a very small village in Tibet, who believes that the sun was rotating, because they all knew a story about it, a story that makes everybody in that particular village to believe it. In the following I would narrate the story.

学语文

人与人之间是需要交流的，因为交流所以产生了语言。无论是工作，学习还是生活都离不开语言。世界上有很多不同的国家，城市和村庄，所以这些地方都有很多不同的语言。如果想要和不同地方的人学习和生活，那么我们就需要了解他们的语言。记得在西藏上小学的时候，我和我的同学主要学习的语言是中文，以离开课堂，我所使用的都是藏文，我会和那些我同龄的朋友玩耍，我也会和那些年长的长辈们学习，但这些生活中所有的东西我都是用藏文来交流的，那个时候我不知道为什么要学习中文，我只知道身边的人都使用的是藏文。慢慢的才知道使用中文的人比使用藏文的人多的多。因为有中文的基础，我有了和说中文的人认识和交流的机会，然后让我慢慢的认识了会说中文的朋友。后来我又意识到，如果我要和更多的人交流和学习的话，我就应该学习更多的语言。我的中文就是这样学来的。


全世界使用英文的人非常多，但是全世界有四分之一的人都是说中文的，所以说中文和英文这个时代的使用范围是非常重要的。现在我既学习英文又在学习中文，我很高兴。我的知识在不断的绩步，我也慢慢因为学习的更多看到了自己的价值，也因为学习的更多知道了学习的意义。因为我能够和更多人交流和学习，从而拥有了更多的朋友。我的生活也因为这样变得不同，所以我会更加努力的学习中文和英文，然后去读懂更多的文字和跟更多的人学习，相同的我也可以教导别人学习，这样也可以帮助别人。这个世界上有成千上万种语言，它们散布在世界的每一个角落，无论是什么语言，它都是一种交流的工具而这种工具让人们的生活变得更好，从而也突出了语言在人们生活中的重要性。
