Requesting His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit to the Quake Area:
A letter from the victims of the Yushu Earthquake to President Hu and Premier Wen
(Boxun Beijing Time: 2010 April 16)
Dear President Hu and Premier Wen,
Wish you both good health. During the initial hours of the natural disaster, we appreciate your government’s immediate relief efforts through soldiers and all round support from different sections of the society and we, the victims of this calamity, thank you for the same.
But we are a deeply religious community having a strong faith in the teachings of Buddha. Since many generations, we have a deep faith in His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Today, as we are suffering from a great physical and mental anguish, we really need His Holiness to visit the quake affected area to pray for the departed souls and to provide solace to the broken hearts. Today, we request you, president Hu and premier Wen, to find the compassion in your hearts and fulfill this desire of us quake victims. We, the quake victims numbering more than 10,000, implore you from our hearts to temporarily set aside your government’s political differences with the Dalai Lama and kindly consider our request.
With this invitation to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we have no other objective apart from fulfilling our religious aspirations of praying for the departed souls and the survivors of the disaster.
In this hour of distress, His Holiness’ visit to offer prayers and condolences in person is the only way to heal our wounded hearts. There is no other better way.

When will the media stop saying this earthquake was in China. It was in TIBET. Can someone explain to me why only chinese officials & elite are being helped/resued. why are the “ordinary” Tibetans not getting any aid?? Why have the roads been blocked by the army and why aren’t international helpers allowed in?? His Holiness must be allowed to visit the site with an assurance being given for his well being.
Dear Sir!
Please let the H.H. Dalai Lama visit in the quake zone.
Please, save the tibetans
Keep hope

WE, the ones that feel offended by the lies of newspapers, and books, calling Tibetan territories China in maps and articles in our own countries, must seek for immediate action, we owe the truth to us and our children..we must get organized, and take legal action…any international lawyer out there? where do we begin?? I am tired of feeling bad when i see, for example the maps in Lonely Planet, the only remedy for my broken heart would be a review of facts in the next edition…
