Once I had a room in Purelands, a retreat spot just up the road from the Samye Ling. This image of a kid kept coming into my meditations. I must have had a good look at his photie down at the centre, but when the image kept coming up, I'd forgotten who he was. A somewhat puzzling image. Today I sent an email to the literary agent, that man of great taste and perspicacity, about the Tibet connections in the two books he's trying to sell for me. I told him that I'd wanted part of the dedication for the kidsbook, if it ever gets published, to be to the Panchen Lama, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who was ripped out of Tibet with his family when he was six years old, making him probably the youngest political prisoner in the world. That was 1995 and nobody knows where he is now, or even if he's alive. So I googled him and got the photie again. I'd kind of forgotten so it had a wee bit of impact.
Marxist Leninism, I have not such a problem with. My grandfather had to work down the pits. When we've got rid of the flatheids, obviously there will be socialism. The Chinese Communist Party is no longer even pretending to promote socialism. The Chinese Communist Party are self serving fascist basturns. They are materialists without any ameliorating scepticism. They just stole that kid and his family. They are basturns.
They will not endure, Jack. The great Fidel said that four million honkies in South Africa could not maintain apartheid forever. And was it not so? They are engaging in globalisation. As soon as we start boycotting their goods, they're funged. I don't give them another fifteen years. I just hope the Chinese people don't have to go through what happened in Russia.
If you want to see what the photie looked like, clicky here.

I have been wondering what you'd make of current sad events in Tibet. When my aerial allows it (courtesy of the wind god), I'm watching the BBC 4 series 'A Year in Tibet' with much interest. It doesn't look very socialist.
IOn: I've also been watching that. It doesn't look like they're just about to start rioting either! No mention from the BBC on the Panchen Lama visit about the disappeared kid. Shame on them! Hotboy p.s. Tibet's full of flatheids as well!
the picture is most timely, I'm coincidentally reading Don Quixote
Albert? Is that you? How erudite! Hotboy
I may get back to you once I look up erudite.
