a land of Tibet

Through My Eyes

With Tibetan events in NYC and work in the Grove I still haven't been able to work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma except in continuing to keep the clay moist. I thought we could watch another video; this one is of a singer called Dronpe and is called "Girl Dorlma" Shepherd girl.

We can see particularly well the grace that comes from Dronpe being in harmony with the land that sustains her. The Beijing regime has disrupted every part of this relationship. And in the end to cut the trees and mine the aluminum in the hills beyond they have shot Tibetan girls and their family members in the cities below them. There are lots of intermediate steps in between and lots of words about motivations and all sorts of justifications. But in the end it comes down to tearing apart the mountain and shooting the girl. The imbalancing force of greed has worked on the hearts of those responsible and they have created the only thing that their distorted hearts will allow.

There is an ancient expression which goes something like this:

"May I be able to see exactly what I am doing because then I will have the choice as to what I do."

The responsible members of the Beijing regime seem to have long since lost the perspective that will allow them the choice to change. Standing up to them is a kindness really because as long as they persist in the darkness of their misunderstanding the more they continue in a prison of their own making in which they have no choices left but to destroy a beauty and grace that any sane person would cherish to the core of their being. And then they sink further into darkness of shame dragging the future of the Chinese people with them as they create more and more distortions in their effort to compensate for their first terrible mistake- their theft of a land and an existence from a people to whom it belongs. There's a lot more to add but as usual two as one we'll add to the notes later beautiful one!
