Much Needed Inspiration from Jamyang Norbu

One of the drawbacks of living in a country in which you are not a citizen is the awkwardly timed, but required, exits from the country in order to maintain a valid visa. So here I am in Bangkok in the middle of a “revolution” and, despite essentially living on the internet, I feel a million miles away from all the action and my friends.

And then comes along Jamyang Norbu’s latest commentary, which makes me feel again that I am (and we all are) indeed, in the middle of a Revolution. And we’re not going to stop.

(For those who don’t know, Jamyang Norbu is an activist, author, and thinker within the Tibet movement, perhaps mostly respected amongst the so-called “radicals”. This is a great piece describing the protests inside Tibet and what’s been going on in Dharamsala with the Tibetan Government-in-Exile and the NGOs.)
