China's been on Tibet's back for some time now. No idea why a country with so much of wasted space would want from a miniscule hill range where the only preoccupation seems to be finding a path to liberation. For late Mao.. 'God is dead' anyway. So why even bother?
Maybe China is jealous of the attention Tibetan lamas been getting fr Hollywood celebrities and movie makers. The spiritually starved west bawled silly by every exotic.. unexplainable ways of east. If only they take the time to find it themselves.. they'd probably find it exactly where it is .. (U know the story about how 'the secret of life' was hidden in the most unlikely place.. man himself. Ok.. thats another long story.)Leave the lamas to their mindful ways in their monastries!
Back to China. The 'Chinese' has two 'e's as in 'greed'. So no real reason is necessary. And they dont really bother how they get their ways. Years of vicious fighting for survival among themselves have killed their human spirit. OR they hv jus desensitized themselves from anything that may require then to reconsider their cruel selfish actions.. cause that may mean their own destruction. Live or die. They jus exist as human forms. Zombies. No feelings. No conscience. Just survive. Sad. But that is what makes them most skillful human fighters.. in perfect control of their mind. Cold. Precise. Instinctive. No need for artificial intelligence. They are already here.
And then u hv the Dalai Lama.. the spiritual figure advocating detachment and surrender... and runs off to India to hide and continue his leadership from there. Then we hv monks taking to the streets ..fighting too. Just don't go along their vows. Fair enough, .. they cant simply lay there and die while China continues to rape, kill, and destroy.
So.. Karma or Dharma? Ego or Saranam? Middle path? During Buddha's time.. even his monks were robbed and killed during their peaceful, mindful outings. And then there is the story of Angulimala.. the man who vowed to kill a thousand and became a monk and went back to the village he brutalised and died a bloody death at the hands of victims' families. . Buddha did 'let that happen' as a means to burn out his karma. So is Tibet burning out some karma? Or China is creating new karma? Hmm..
Ok.. lets just boycott the Olympics first then. Nevermind those who trained their ass off for years to gain some recognition of their efforts. They may be sore for a while but hey, its for higher good! Or is it? The Brits and Yankees seemed to think this is a good move anyway to pressure the Chinese to start feeling as a human again.. ! Though the super powers surely must hv more effective ways to do it. Hey, they hv to show in some ways that they care, right. Throw a penny to the beggar and ur good deed for the day is done! Iraq's the one with the oil laden Osama. Dalai can wait.
And then Tolle (America's new spiritual guru who doenst want to be anyone's guru, thats what they all say anyway) says.. if universe is the dancer and we are the dance...
So lets jus sit and enjoy it while we still can!
