TO Boepa Tsamsen - August 24, 2008
Boepa Tsamsen, you have to shut up, you're the one who's the one writing only, he has gone back to india leaving his family behind just to serve the tibetan community so I suggest no one says he's doing anything wrong or not enough, he is a great man so stop pretending like he's doing nothing, he is doing a lot.

Boepa Tsamsen - August 1, 2008
Tsewang la, Many good wishes to you and all your team. It is human nature that they 'bark like a dog' and in reality do nothing themselves. I really hate these kind of people. If you think you can do something then why not come and take responsibility rather than writing nasty thing to people who sacrifice themselves for the sake of Tibet. Please take a note of this and in future mind your language before you speak something wrong that may prove fatal for the Tibetan cause at large.

Regards to all, and pryers to the 6 brave Tibetans who dare to sit for the hunger strike.

This man left U.S.A and went back to India to serve the Tibetan Community. Leaving a wife and two daughters behind. On top of that man sold his house and had his family live with his relatives in another state. Can anyone else step up. I don't think so stop badmuothing this great man.

Simple man - July 31, 2008
Thank you for sacrificing you're time and the sacrifices you have made in you're family life and personal life. You have stood up where no other dare to. It is sad how many fools there are in our Tibetan community.

The lacking of...(correction)

Apso, New York - July 23, 2008
he lacking of individual ideals is what is hindering our endeavours and making a mock out of it. It is essential that the hunger strikers not only take up the strike just because it came upon as an order or responsibility. It has to be driven by one's ideals that can stand in defiance to the call of dismissal from Dharamsala( which has become a cliche of a kind). Then I think we would have a meaning to our struggle and approach. Otherwise, i am afraid, we are simply teasing each other at the cost of pples time and hopes.

hungry man - July 21, 2008
Indefinite hunger strike until they get really really hungry?

Why don't the Tibetan 'leaders' sit on hunger strike instead of only talking and making only others do what they should be doing also?

yak man - July 21, 2008
Tsewang Rigzin la, lead the way. Bhod Gyal Lo! We will never give up.
