Tibet...Tibet had been an independent country since ancient times. Tibetan have been protecting the teachings of Buddhism for centuries. In 1950, China's military invaded Tibet. China deprived Tibetan people of their own country. China deprived Tibetan people of Buddhism. 99% of Buddhist temples have been destroyed in Tibet. China deprived Tibetan people of their families. The number of Tibetans who have been murdered during the past half century has reached 1.28 million.
Zenkoji temple (Nagano Japan) is a Buddhist temple with a history of 1400 years that was established in 644A.D. Zenkoji Temple had accepted the offer of kicking off the Olympic Toarch Relay that had been scheduled on April 26th. On April 18th, however, Buddhist monks held a small ceremony for the victims of the Tibetan uprising, which occured at the beginning of March 08'. Residents of Nagano attended this small ceremony. They lit the number of candles equivalent to the number of victims. The number of candles was 177. They prayed for the victims of of the Tibetan uprising, which occured at the beginning of March 08'.
A cold rain was falling that day.
A certain person said to me,
"Don't mix up sports with politics. Sports should be removed from politics."
I answered as follows,
Many lives of innocent people are threatened at this moment. How can anyone enjoy Beijing olympics while knowing that many lives of innocent people are threatened? We should raise a voice in protest now.
It is a moral principle.
It is a human action.
On April 20th, Zenkoji Temple declined the offer of kicking off the Olympic Toarch Relay.
Chinese military attacked and invaded Tibet in 1950. China occupied Tibet who was the fully independent nation before the invasion of China. China has been torturing and slaughtering enormous numbers of innocent Tibetan civilians since 1950. TIBETAN VICTIMS of CHINESE ATROCITIES reaches 1.28 million people. Tibetan people have been suffering from China's cruel and bloody repression. Please don't apply the word "Human Right Abuse" to what is going on in Tibet. What is going on in Tibet? China has been committing "Cultural Genocide" against Tibetan people in the form of ethnic cleansing since China's invasion. "Cultural Genocide" against Tibetan people should be called "Unforgivable Humanitarian Tragedy".
Tibetan people have the legitimate right of racial self-determination as well as the independence of Kosovo was acknowledged by the international community. The population of Kosovo is 2 million (90% is Albanian). The population of Tibetans is more than 5.4 million only in China. Tibetan people have the right to declear the independence from China. China is just invader. The international community should condemn China as invader violated Tibetan's sovereignty.
