'Non-Violent Action For Tibet' Workshop
Tenzin Tsedup la on 'Freedom Struggle Inside Tibet'
Day Two (Monday. June 24, 2002): Participant's list grew further to 21,
not with new comers but with those who did not register yesterday. Some
new faces came but they vanished as soon as they appeared.
We screened the film 'A Force More Powerful: A Century of Non-Violent
Conflict' (Dir: Steve York) and distributed Friends of Tibet posters.
Reacting to yesterday's film 'Gandhi,' many said they did not understand as
the film was in English. One monk even complained that the film was
boring, long and actionless. He stressed on the lack of relationship
between the Tibetans inside and those in exile. He urged the floor to work
for more united action. Later, Tenzin Tsedup la spoke on 'Freedom
Struggle Inside Tibet'. But during the question and answer session,
Topgyal la, an ex-army man started talking and went on till 11am. He
spoke on the need of unity and education. We made it clear that the
participants need to be brief and as precise as possible giving others a
chance.
