    I believe the time has come that spiritual wisdom and the power of love will rise above the greed and tyranny of the world.
    I now this subject is dear to you heart and applaud you for speaking out, and everything else you're doing.

    It is indeed troubling to see the plight of these Tibetans. Another one of the examples of human brutality, lack of understanding and intolerance.
    And yet, I fear that the Indians are not hosting them out of a mere feeling of human sympathy either.

    This is a Great Lens! I saw the Movie Cry of The Snow Lion a few years a go and was sick. Why is this being allowed to happen! I tried to boycot China (am still actively trying) but my gosh, their stuff is everywhere. Took my niece and nephew through traget to see how many things we could find that DID NOT say made in china, it was eye opening. Almost everything was made in China. I have lens rolled this lens to all of my travel lenses. We must get the word out. Thanks for making this lens!!!! I am also nominating this for lens of the day!

    I saw a documentary last winter about this, and I was outraged. Gentle, peace-loving people who just want to live the way they believe, and never hurting anyone. And when I contemplate that they've been in exile as long as I've been alive....unbelievable. You've done a wonderful job spreading the word with these lenses.

    it is when I get replies like yours that I feel all the effort I put into this is really worthwhile...if I have touched one life, taught one person...I guess that is all I can hope for and I must be grateful...I wish every person who reads this could have the experience I had and know how important this issue is
    THANK YOU

    I just don't GET the Chinese. WHY do they do this? I have absolutely no desire to ever visit China because of this. So, do any of the Tibetans stay in Nepal? If not, why?

    it's about power, economics and control...the Chinese are taking precious natural resources, inc uranium, in Tibet...as well as exploiting vast areas of undeveloped land...it is also about Communism ...BOYCOTT CHINESE GOODS

    Looks to me like you've found your passion and your niche. I applaud you for your activity, and for sharing your journey with those of us who cannot follow in your footsteps. May this lens, along with your others about Tibet & India, find a wide audience that includes some who can provide assistance by purchasing the products. I salute you, my friend.

    Well, Tammy I want to know more more more! You have captured my interest with your introduction ... how many people are we talking about? Their faith must surely be strong to venture from their homeland and endure such a tumultuous journey in exile.

    Hi Julie, I am glad you are interested in the Tibetans' situation. It is hard to get exact numbers regarding new arrivals. I will add a small blurb about recent events/refugees momentarily inspired by your comment.

    Very nice and heartfelt call to action for the Tibetan community, Tammy.
