Its a little difficult for me to post anything right now, but I will definitely post something tomorrow. I know people are wondering about me because of the current situation in Tibet. I am safe. Everyone here is terribly heartbroken, sad, frustrated, but also very strong, brave and courageous. One of the monks stood up in a meeting in the monastery last night and and walked out announcing he was going to Tibet, walking across the mountains and border. He is ready to die. This is not some movie type heroic-looking bullshit, this is real and everyone knows it. He cannot just sit and pray, he needs to stand up and walk with his brothers and sisters in order for something to happen. He's right you know, the more numerous the people stand up all over the world, the more the rest of the world is looking, the harder it is to hide and silence and stand by doing nothing. When he decided to go, twelve other monks stood up and said "you know what, you're right - we're going with you." The older monks could only admire the youths in extreme sadness with lumps in their throats, watching them walk out strong willed, strong minded and calm in their determined passion. No one can stop them, and they know this may cost lives, but for a reason...
