"We come also out of the East unto the West. For we too participate
in the Temple of the Blue Lotus of Himalaya, in Maitreya’s
place and the place where all the Brothers of the Golden Robe are.
It is for the increase of illumination’s flame that the sons
and daughters of Tibet are persecuted, brutalized and their community
and their culture desecrated.
"Blessed hearts,
these are a lifewave and an evolution sponsored by the Great White
Brotherhood as ye are. Thus, to add to the burden of El Morya
is the plight of such as these, for they have carried the golden
thread even continuously by reincarnation since the hour of Sanat
Kumara. Let it be known, then, that you do hold the balance for
them and they have received a certain flame of joy. As you have
celebrated my birth in the violet flame so I have chosen to pass
that flame by an arc to the very heart of those individuals whom
Morya calls chelas and to whom the adepts bow, bowing before the
Light of the heart and the perseverance.
"Pray for them, beloved, for in other times it is they who
have held the balance for you and there is an inner tie and an
inner connection. Let it be the golden thread of contact and let
the golden lining be the interior garment that you wear, always
remembering how my beloved Kuthumi, my Francis, does love you.

"Know then, my blessed ones, that I commend you, that I support
you in your deep desire to receive Tibetan children at the ranch
and at other centers. We desire to see this happen that the culture
of the Tibetan children and the refugees might not be snuffed out.
"Therefore, beloved, rejoice.
Rejoice for the hearts of these little ones, for their suns are
like suns of fire. And when they shall have fully expanded their
heart chakras, you will know that you have encountered on many
an occasion a child so precious, an adult so precious. Tibetan
children or adults of any level carry that light, for this is
where they have come from and this is where they are going.
"Have great and profound sorrow and
pity for the situation that comes out of China moving against
the nuns, moving against those who ought to be a part of the community
that has been taken from them. Remember this, beloved hearts.
Remember the massacre. Remember it well, for it should not have
happened—and yet indeed it did. For that last Dalai Lama
[the thirteenth] did warn that this situation would come to pass
and it has come to pass. And therefore those of the West who have
the purity of heart, the dignity of heart, the love of the heart
must embrace the little child that has been made orphan by so
many.
" . . . Remember the massacre. Remember
it well, for it should not have happened—and yet indeed
it did. For that last Dalai Lama [the Thirteenth] did warn that
this situation would come to pass and it has come to pass.*"
* The Fourteenth Dalai Lama (born in 1935 and believed by Tibetans
to be the reincarnated Thirteenth Dalai Lama) was too young to
assume leadership. During this period Tibet was beset by factionalism
and bureaucratic corruption. The Tibetan army, which comprised
only 8,500 troops, had only fifty pieces of artillery and a few
hundred mortars and machine guns. The Tibetans did not heed the
prophecies; they believed that the power of religion would protect
their independence.

Tibet by Nicholas Roerich, 1940
"Thus, El Morya has bidden the Messenger to summon souls of
light to bring Tibetan children here to this community in Montana.
From El Morya’s Darjeeling retreat, this is the Master’s
desperate plea to his students.
"Beloved El Morya
has been the sponsor of the Tibetan people and their culture for
many centuries. And now the orphans of so many fallen Tibetans
who fought for their country have been placed in orphanages. This
is the time, the place and the hour to bring them here that they
and their culture might survive.
"Blessed ones, as
you know, terrible things are happening in this world. But many
of you have the opportunity and the means to apply for and to
receive Tibetan children. El Morya profoundly desires you to bring
Tibetan children to the Royal Teton Ranch. Pray fervently that
this might come to pass, for in so doing you may perpetuate the
ancient lineage of the Tibetan people who, if they were alive,
would certainly desire to have their children here."

"Blessed ones, for true and final liberation to come to Tibet,
there must be receptivity to the teachings of the Great White Brotherhood.
For even the Dalai Lama in his sincerity does make a great karma
in this hour by preaching a doctrine of accommodation.
"Blessed ones, you may pray for his enlightenment and for the
binding of the fallen angels who also traduce those who attempt
to be our best servants. The awareness of the Evil One, Mara, and
the fallen ones who persecuted the Buddha, the awareness even
of the forces of Evil that had to be bound by the forces of Light
of Sanat Kumara has somehow escaped the focalization of this one’s
mind.
" . . . Therefore, beloved, though you may desire to go and
convert the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan monks and nuns, I tell you,
our counsel even from Darjeeling is rather to convert yourself and
[to] take their example of devotion and discipline and the life
that they live to increase the Light where you are and to attract
to this Community those Lightbearers out of the East, including
those slain in this cultural revolution in Tibet, who have come
to the West to reincarnate here (for they have seen the star of
the Mother and the Buddha in the West); and [some] have [already]
done so. They are even in embodiment in North America, beloved.
They must be drawn [to this Community of the Holy Spirit] by your
Light!
"And we, Heros and Amora, tell you,
beloved, that the Light is not sufficiently raised up nor disciplined
nor expanded nor balanced in your four lower bodies. Look not
beyond yourselves, therefore, to the cause of this plight wherein
we see that ten thousandfold more Lightbearers should be a part
of this worldwide Community, [yet they are not].
". . . Therefore understand, the Dalai Lama is a highly educated
man who does know the way of the West. Realize that any ignorance,
beloved, any ignoring of the impulsations of the Light from on
high, by whatever neglect or density, does create its own karma.
As they say, ignorance of the Law is not an excuse."

Tibet by Nicholas Roerich, 1933
"I come also with a ruby fire for the purging of corruption
in the government of this state. I come with a purging light that
compels the light to rise for the restoration of the divine memory.
For with the loss of light, there is also the loss of memory;
and [on] the Tablets of Mem, with which you were familiar on Lemuria,
are the recordings of ancient lifetimes when you, beloved, possessed
an extraordinary light.
"But, for vast numbers of those settled
in this state in this time, it was the compromise of the heart
and the heart chakra that allowed you to lose that light and therefore
to descend in an apartness, a separation first from the Mother
and then from her Son, from the Universal Light and then from
one another, being divided, then, by fallen ones, angels who waged
the wars of the gods unto the utter destruction of the inner temples
of Light.
"They have come again, beloved, to destroy
the temples and the devotees of Tibet; and who has raised the
hand to say, 'Thus far and no farther!' to those Communist hordes
who have denied the culture of the Mother in the gentle ones of
Tibet who have carried forward the ancient wisdom?
"I tell you, not the government of this
nation or the West. Blessed hearts, it is a crime against humanity
when hordes who are undeveloped are given the freedom in the name
of Aquarius to snuff out the candle that has been lit upon the
altars of the ancients for hundreds and thousands of years.
"Will the candle go out in your heart?—in
the hearts of the people of Lemuria on this side of the fire ring?"

"For I come, beloved, so that you might not make the mistakes
of the Tibetans and their leader, who followed a path of pacifism
even in the face of the all-out war waged against them by the
Chinese Communists . . .
"In 1932 the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, Tibet’s
spiritual and temporal leader, prophesied: “If we do not
make preparations to defend ourselves from the overflow of violence,
we will have very little chance of survival. In particular, we
must guard ourselves against the barbaric Red Communists, who
carry terror and destruction with them wherever they go.
" . . . It will not be long before we find the Red onslaught
at our own front door . . . Therefore, now, when the strength
of peace and happiness is with us, while the power to do something
about the situation is still in our hands, we should make every
effort to safeguard against this impending disaster. Use peaceful
methods where they are appropriate; but where they are not appropriate,
do not hesitate to resort to more forceful means. (Glenn H. Mullin,
'The Great Thirteenth’s Last New Year Sermon,' Tibetan Review
22, October 1987, p. 17).
"The Thirteenth Dalai Lama passed on in 1934, and for many
years regents governed Tibet. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama (born
in 1935 and believed by Tibetans to be the reincarnated Thirteenth
Dalai Lama) was too young to assume leadership. During this period,
Tibet was beset by factionalism and bureaucratic corruption. The
Tibetan army, which comprised only 8,500 troops, had only fifty
pieces of artillery and a few hundred mortars and machine guns.
"The Tibetans did not heed the prophecies; they believed
that the power of religion would protect their independence. In
the fall of 1950, when the Fourteenth Dalai Lama was fifteen,
the Chinese Communist army invaded Tibet and captured the frontier
fortress of Chamdo. The Tibetan troops capitulated and the Dalai
Lama sent a peace mission to Peking. The resulting treaty, although
granting Tibet nominal autonomy, in fact gave control to the Chinese.
"In ensuing years, some Tibetan tribesmen have fought against
the Chinese troops that occupy Tibet, but Tibet as a nation has
formed no lasting organized resistance. On March 31, 1959, the
Fourteenth Dalai Lama fled into exile in India. Since then, the
Chinese have killed or starved to death at least 1.2 million Tibetans,
and much of Tibet’s cultural, educational and religious
life has been destroyed.
"Yet the Fourteenth Dalai Lama maintains: 'We must follow
a strict nonviolent nature . . . Whether we like it or not, we
have to live side by side. So once you develop genuine compassion,
forgiveness, then people also equally respond . . . [A] genuine
sense of universal responsibility on the basis of love and kindness
is the key factor'"

"Tibetans use art as a method of bringing heaven to earth and
raising man out of his earthly confines to a realm of peace and
harmony. They believe that a statue of a Buddha, for instance, is
the living presence of that Buddha,
who becomes one with his icon.
"Tibetan sculptures of the Dhyani
Buddhas convey both elegance and power. This is the singular
character, charm and mission of Tibetan sacred art. The real is
wed to the transcendent. Grace and purity are fused with vitality
and power. Careful detail and precision are united with spontaneity.
The result is that the otherworldliness and perfection of enlightened
realms comes through with an immediacy that inspires the observer
to realize his own divine potential."

"So many souls who have engaged in enormous travail for the
cause of Light have lost their lives under the weight of planetary
karma. As you know, your beloved El Morya is burdened by the plight
of the Tibetans. So many have been slaughtered and abused, and
the Tibetan culture of thousands of years is being destroyed before
your very eyes.
"Great devotees of light have had to go through the pain
of death only to return again, some because of their karma and
some solely because of atrocities committed against them, which
aborted their missions. Many of these are ready to be born again,
and they yearn to be in a place of protection in the United States,
even in this very Community. We pray that many who are part of
this Church throughout the world will volunteer to bring forth
the great lights of Tibet and those other spiritual elite from
around the world who are deserving."

"In recognizing China, Carter ignored not only her treatment
of her own people but also her brutal invasion of Tibet. Since they
invaded Tibet in 1950, the Red Chinese armies have killed 1.2 million
Tibetans. John F. Avedon, in a study of the Chinese occupation called
In Exile from the Land of Snows, describes the Chinese atrocities
as reported by the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists:
"The obliteration of entire villages was compounded
by hundreds of public executions, carried out to intimidate the
surviving population. The methods employed included crucifixion,
dismemberment, vivisection, beheading, burying, burning and scalding
alive, dragging the victims to death behind galloping horses and
pushing them from airplanes; children were forced to shoot their
parents, disciples their religious teachers. Everywhere monasteries
were prime targets. Monks were compelled to publicly copulate with
nuns and desecrate sacred images before being sent to a growing
string of labor camps in Amdo and Gansu.
"One in 10 Tibetans has at some time been
imprisoned by the Chinese. Today estimates of political prisoners
range from 20,000 to 100,000. In northeast Tibet near the Gobi Desert
is the biggest network of prison camps in the world, the Amdo Gulag.
Reportedly, it is capable of housing up to 10 million political
prisoners.
"If you have ever wondered where hell is,
it is inside every nation where World Communism has prevailed—prevailed
with the help of their partners in crimes committed against humanity—international
bankers and the industrialists and the financiers.
"After consolidating control in Tibet, the
Chinese undertook a massive population transfer, encouraging Chinese
citizens to emigrate to Tibet by offering them triple salary and
other benefits in an effort to make Tibetans a minority in their
own country. Today there are 7.5 million Chinese occupying a country
of 6 million Tibetans. They are trying to destroy them genetically,
to intermarry with them, to wipe out the Tibetan people from the
face of the earth, the bearers of the Light of the Buddha. In the
1960s, the Chinese began a campaign of involuntary sterilization
of Tibetans. Gradually this method was phased out in favor of inducing
Tibetan women to marry Chinese soldiers.
"The Chinese not only practice physical genocide
but cultural genocide as well. They have destroyed 6,254 monasteries—the
centers for Tibetan cultural, educational and religious life. The
number of Tibetan monks (100,000 in 1957) has been reduced to 4,000,
with only 10 to 15 new monks allowed to enter a monastery each year.
They have burned an estimated 60 percent of Tibet’s religious
and historical literature. They have melted down sacred art and
statuary into bullion or sold it in Hong Kong and Tokyo for foreign
exchange. In 1959, the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual and temporal
ruler, was forced to flee into exile in India.
"The Chinese do permit the limited worship
and practice of Buddhism in Tibet. But the Dalai Lama says that
because of 'direct and indirect restrictions on the teaching and
study of Buddhist philosophy,' Buddhism is 'being reduced to a blind
faith.' Since many of the 1.2 million Tibetans murdered were members
of the intelligentsia, such as monks and teachers, Tibet’s
cultural heritage is not being passed on to the next generation.'“For
the first time in Tibet’s history, there is a ‘lost
generation,’ writes Avedon. 'They’re bitter, depressed
and, with all opportunity denied them, lazy.'
"Since 1978, the U.S. government has held
that Tibet is a part of China. President Reagan does not recognize
the Dalai Lama’s government-in-exile in India and has refused
him official State visits. He has also refused to condemn the Chinese
government for its latest repression.
"In late September 1987, reports filtered
out of Tibet that hundreds of Buddhist monks had staged peaceful
protests calling for Tibetan independence. These protests coincided
with the Dalai Lama’s visit to the U.S., during which he presented
a 5-point peace plan to the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. The
House passed a resolution supporting him, and leading members of
the Congress sent a letter urging China’s premier to use the
5-point program as a basis of negotiation with the Dalai Lama."
