'Non-Violent Action For Tibet' Workshop
Martyr Pillar in Progress
Day 4 (Oct 3, 2002): Today it was my turn to speak in the morning. My
talk on 'Individual As An Activist' was followed by a question and answer session. After the talk I invited the people to contribute more in exile giving examples of incidents I had in Tibet and my experience back in
India as an activist. I shared some experiences which went into building
myself into an activist that I am trying to become.
In the after-tea session, the remaining parts of the documentary, 'A Force More Powerful: A Century Of Non-Violent Conflict' (Dir: Steve York). Since majority of the people didn't understand English, I had given an introduction to the film and later a summery.
After lunch people lined up to donate blood to be mixed up with the paint
prepared for the 'Martyr Pillar.' Karma Yeshi la explained everyone that
the blood donated is a symbolic gesture to pay respects to the sacrifices
made by the Tibetans. Blood donation was on a voluntary basis.
For the second day, both the teams practiced their drama pieces. There are
some excitement and curiosity sparks jumping between the two groups
trying to guess what play the other one is making.
