Dalai Lama new missionary of democracy.

It is great symbol and recognition of religious Dalai Lama that in defiance of China's hard lined and belligerent treatment of Tibetan leader and their religion he has been invited to Taiwan(democratic China) to console the victims of natural calamity.He promotes peace and better relations with China and tells the people of Taiwan it is important for them to be a closer to PRC (China) and they should hold on to the democracy which they have earned and developed in their nation.

No leader any where has said this in such clear and peaceful terms before .

He can be recognised as the major leader of minority rights for any minority in the world .He may be most important activist for his people,in the 21st century.If china chooses to be a democratic society and appreciate its diversity of cultures and languages Dalai Lama's contribution for it will be a beacon in a sea of darkness.It is so important for the human race as China has fifth of humanity which is becoming a financially secure.

I am more impressed by this monks dignity,humbleness ,self control and ability to smile even when some small things go wrong.Yesterday i watched on TV he was to read a prayer from a book when the table fell apart he smiled and then i saw two monks hold the book on a shawl in a cradle and he read the prayer and blessed the assembly.

Confucious would be proud of this man's diginty and would say "Manhood at its best,manhood at its best indeed".

Dalai Lama,s Visit to Taiwan.

Taiwanese President just announced a visit by Dalai Lama to the southern Taiwan to console the Buddhist population.



A religious leader like Dalai Lama can help heal the wounds of natural disasters and help people deal with loss.Chinese government does not understand need of spiritualism and soul.It recognizes only material world and power of state.Economically strong China should recognise that people do not live on bread alone.



Congratulations to Taiwan and its people for strength to stand for its right to freedom of thought and religion.These rights need to be defended and not abandoned as society progresses.A materially fulfilled man will search for higher goals.

Higher freedom of choice is the norm of advanced society.
