Have to turn to Tibet , and the Dalai Lama as a good example of how one possibly can deal with the total persecution , usurping of one's homeland ... I think the old Guy has some very valid points of enduring the present suffering and loss with dignity and non-hatred (of Chinese) in exile ...these are Buddhist(and Hindu) principals at work , where one doesn't sow the seeds of hatred and negativity now but practices compassion, so that for future resolutions , those don't come back to haunt the realtionships. Already there is a growing sympathy for the plight of the Tibetans in China ....with 6000 monestaries destroyed and 100's of thousands of monks and Nuns killed , tortured and imprisoned for years. So in the end , Dalai Lama promotes non-hatred in exile now , so that if there is reconciliation later it will be without the earlier baggage/karmas created by former angers and violence exchanged between the two to haunt that possible future. This is essentially Christianity in it's highest form , just more subtely pacticed. I am always so totally surprised that Christian theologians play so dumb as to this very close "sameness" in the essence of their two doctrines . I'm off to work. don't --->break a leg ! ;-) PS: Mandella in South Africa another great story as well...
