As I wrote before, the Candle4Tibet event is this evening. If you can't make it to an event, light a candle at home.
From my original post:
We know the origin of this suffering (Dukkha).
We know the origin of this suffering (Samudaya).
We know that this suffering must cease (Nirodha).
We know that the time has come.
And we are willing to walk the path to assure that the suffering does cease (Mārga).
While protests within Tibet have been marred by violence which is easy to condemn, that violence has brought once more the plight of Tibetans to the focus - and while there is empathy for such protests, the sympathy is for freedom - and what those that protested felt was necessary to get their freedom... and ultimately, the price some paid to demonstrate what they are up against.
Stand. Be heard. Light a candle. Be seen. Let your elected representatives know what you stand for - and therefore what they should. If you're in Trinidad and Tobago, click the banner, note on your calendar and most importantly - be there.
