From the Dalai Lama
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements
involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

* Respect for others and
* Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes
a wonderful stroke of luck.

in order to get it.

Stand with Tibet - Support the Dalai Lama
.
After decades of repression, Tibetans are crying out
to the world for change. China's leaders are right now making a crucial
choice between escalating brutality or dialogue that could determine the
future of Tibet, and China. We can affect this historic choice -- China
does care about its international reputation. But it will take an avalanche
of global people power to get the government's attention. The Tibetan spiritual
leader, the Dalai Lama, has called for restraint and dialogue: he needs
the world's people to support him. Fill out the form below to sign the
petition--and spread the word.

| A Note from the Avaaz Team
Dear friends,
The global outcry over Tibet is rising fast - In just
5 days, 751,472 of us from 192 countries have come together to call for
restraint and dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Even more amazing, we have
told over 5 million of our friends about this important campaign - that's
1 million people per day!
A personal email from a friend is a powerful thing
– it is helping to drive the global tide of concern. Let's push now to
tell 5 million more friends, get over 1 million signatures this week, and
deliver the largest global online petition in history to the Chinese government.
Just forward the email below to a few more friends and family with a personal
note from you…
