The Butchers of Tienanmen have given protesters in Tibet until Monday to "surrender."
I say no. Tibet is an illegally occupied country and it's time for an oppressed people to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. It's time for freedom to ring in South Asia. It's not right that there are only three truly free countries in that part of the world -- India, Japan and Mongolia. Push back now, or face enslavement and cultural genocide for another 100 years.
If Beijing decides to pull another Tienanmen, then the world should decide they will boycott the Olympics. Now more than ever, we need to pray for the liberation of a long suppressed people.

Here is a quote from Lama Zopa Rinpoche, which describes a way to help Tibet with special prayers. If you already have special prayers that you like, please don't be offended! I post this information because it may be something that is just right for some out there! Reading St Francis prayer many times and offering that blessing to the world is so wonderful too!
"It is important to repay the kindness of the Tibetan people, who have preserved the complete teachings of the Buddha. Due to this we non-Tibetans are able to receive the complete teachings and make our lives meaningful. Now that their need is most urgent we need to be aware of how we can help. It is very important."
A powerful way to help:
"Anybody who wants peace in the world should read The Golden Light Sutra. This is a very important prayer to stop violence and wars in the world. The Golden Light Sutra is one of the most beneficial ways to bring peace. This is something that everyone can do, no matter how busy you are, even if you can read one page a day, or a few lines...It is extremely powerful and fulfills all one's wishes, as well as bringing peace and happiness for all sentient beings, up to enlightenment. It is also extremely powerful for world peace, for your own protection and for the protection of the country and the world. Also, it has great healing power for people in the country."

There is a calendar on the above site for the scheduled international group readings, so people can read in their homes at the same time.
Please dedicate all your prayers, Christian prayers too of course!
May reading this Sutra of Golden Light cause a non-voilent, peaceful solution for Tibet, for Tibetans to have complete civil rights and religious freedom and prosperity. May the reading of the Sutra cause loving kindness in the hearts of all living beings, particularly, in this world – particularly in the hearts of all the leaders of the world and all the terrorists, those who cause so much violence to others in this world. May it be the cause for perfect enjoyments and peace, as well as inner prosperity.
