KASHAG’S GUIDELINES
The Kashag would like to issue the following guidelines for implementation by all the Offices of Tibet:
1) Recently many Tibetan and Chinese areas in the Sichuan Province of
the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have been hit by earthquake,
causing enormous human and property loss. As a way of expressing their
solidarity with the quake victims, Tibetans in Tibet have undertaken
many relief activities. Since it is very important for the Tibetan
exiles, or Tibetans living in the free world, also to join in this
effort, we should initiate solidarity actions by organising prayer
meetings and raising donations.
As advised by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during his recent
visit to USA, the Tibetan and Chinese nationals there have joined
together to raise donations in many areas where Chinese reside. It is
important for the Tibetans living in other part of the world also to
initiate similar collaborative activities, and explore the
possibilities of establishing Sino-Tibetan Friendship Associations
through such programmes.
2) In order to express our solidarity with the great natural
disaster that befell on China, Tibetans across the world should shun
staging demonstrations in front of the Chinese embassies in the
respective host countries they live in at least for until about the end
of May, this year. And write a letter, or send a message, to the
concerned that they are doing so in solidarity with the quake victims.
