Does His Holiness Dalai Lama need "my" help?

Whatever the perspective one has the Tibet situation, it is simply fact that Tibetan spiritual culture experienced complete and deep disruption. Those of us who have experienced the power of Tibetan Buddhist teachings and practice, know the quality of why it could survive to rebuild. But what a process: there was/is a process for survival, even for highly realized Lamas: eat, get an apartment, legal documents, a job (perhaps at McDonalds) , a building, learn a new language, understand cultural nuance for correct understanding, find health care…and then perhaps teach Tibetan Buddhism, trying to pour the pure water of the teachings from one set of cultural assumptions into another vessel. Where are the texts? They have been carried out on the backs of those who fled (and survived). Only After they are translated, they can be used. Did you know without a “country” your language cannot be taught by a language school such as Berlitz? This is why Tibetan Language is not in a Borders bookstore. Lamas rarely ask for help. It is not in the culture. If His Holiness is requesting that help be given, it is really needed. Can the world do without people such as the Dalai Lama? His training came from these same teachings at Tashi Lhungpo. And because some Tibetans made it through snow while being shot at, walking for months out of Tibet carrying texts…it is available to us. They need our help. Karma. The law of cause and effect exists. What we do affects the whole.
