Being Tibetan

23/04/2026

Support for Tibet should not be misconstrued as opposition to China. At its core, it is a call for genuine harmony—one grounded in trust, dignity, and mutual respect. Unity cannot take root in an atmosphere of fear; it flourishes only where understanding is nurtured.
Advocating for Tibet is not about division, but about fostering conditions in which dialogue and compassion can prevail. True harmony is not imposed—it emerges when people feel respected and heard.
As His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama reminds us, lasting unity is built not through fear, but through trust.

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

According to His Highness the Dalai Lama, a happy life comes from nurturing our inner good qualities—affection, care, concern, respect, and a sense of community—which begin with compassion and shape how we treat others every day.
