8 months ago

In this deeply moving speech, a Tibetan writer Bhuchung D. Sonam reflects on His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s book “Voice for the Voiceless.” He shares why Tibet’s struggle against Chinese occupation remains rooted in nonviolence, even in the face of immense suffering and personal loss. The speaker highlights: The destruction of Tibetan culture, language, and nomadic life Harsh realities of Chinese occupation: deaths, relocations, colonial schools Why Tibetans continue their nonviolent struggle despite repression The Dalai Lama’s teaching that compassion and nonviolence are not weakness, but strength A personal story of loss, separation, and resilience in exile With honesty and moral clarity, he reminds us that “one act of violence brings forth another and there’s no end to it” — and that “nothing is permanent, not even occupation.” #DalaiLama #Tibet #Nonviolence #VoiceForTheVoiceless #HumanRights
