Radha Ashtami is also known as Radhashtami and Radha Jayanti. In the Indian tradition, the Lord God Creator is the Controller of Power/Force/Energy that operates all interactions of the natural world, and the universe. The Lord God Creator separates Himself from the Power/Force/Energy that He Controls, Regulates, Sustains, and Operates. In the Indian tradition, the Power/Force/Energy or Shakti is personified as the consort of Lord God Creator. As the manifestations of Power/Force/Energy are varied, each attribute acquires a personality of its own and the man easily recognizes the nature of the blessings he receives from his benefactor. In the Indian tradition, Goddess Radha is the personification of Love that symbolizes the Spiritual Unity between the Original Source of Love and the physical manifestation of the Force called Love.

Living the Long Journey of Life with a heavy burden to serve the God of Compassion

Learn human anatomy to live the long journey of life with a heavy burden

So what is the Identity of this Human person or Human subject who experiences his life using the Sensory Experience such as taste? How does the living Human organism maintain its Identity and Individuality? Apart from the Cultural Traditions of India, several Schools of Religious Thought claim that the Human Individuality and true or real Identity is represented by Human Soul. Where does this soul exist in the human body? What is the location if the soul is present in the living person? Does man have a soul? How does the human organism acquires Knowledge about its own structures and the functions they perform? To know the burdens of Life, I ask my readers to know the reality of man and the nature of his existence.

A Force of Compassion to lift the heavy burden of life’s long journey

Alpha Orionis, Betelgeuse, a massive Red Supergiant Star is evaporating.
Krupa (Krupa) – A force to preserve the human existence. Alpha Orionis, Betelgeuse, a massive Red Supergiant Star is evaporating.

Alpha Orionis, or Betelgeuse is the largest and brightest Star visible to the naked eye near the Constellation of Orion. This mammoth star is slowly evaporating. This massive star is shedding weight and is near end of its life. This red Supergiant star is about 430 light years distant. If this star is now placed at the center of our Solar system, its plume would extend past the orbit of planet Jupiter. Sun towards the end of its life would also evaporate and its expanding plume would totally wipeout all living entities on planet Earth. When we speak about human existence, we need to understand man as a biological species. Like all other living creatures of this planet Earth, man is a mortal being. Whosoever had arrived on this planet, must also depart. Extinction is not merely a past geological event. The reign of Dinosaurs upon Earth ended 65 million years ago and it is marked as Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Event or K-T Event.

The Phenomenon of Extinction:   

Krupa (Krupa) – a force to preserve the human existence. The dimming of Betelgeuse, Orion Constellation.

Apart from Cosmic Radiation, and Massive Collision events involving asteroids, comets, or other heavenly bodies, there are biological factors involved in the phenomenon of Extinction. Man’s existence depends upon an orderly functioning of the universe. The existence of the Individual (microcosm) is linked to the existence of Cosmos (macrocosm).   

Is Man Born Free?   

Krupa (Kripa) – a force to preserve the human existence.

In the Sanskrit literature, the word ‘Daivam’ describes ‘Fate’. It conveys the sense of belief in God as the ‘Prime Cause’. If God is in control, man is not free to act as he pleases even in his own defense. We may not be able to conduct experiments and scientifically establish the fact that God is in control. What we clearly understand is that the man cannot govern or rule the cells that constitute his body and define his physical existence.

Krupa (Kripa) – a force for preservation of the human existence. Man cannot directly rule or govern or regulate the cellular functions of his own body.

Man is not an independent living entity. Man’s dependence upon external sources of energy, and the biological phenomenon of ‘cellular autonomy’ would not permit man to act as he pleases. Man is not in control of his existence. Man’s capacity to defend his own existence is limited and he continuously faces challenges to his existence from several different directions. If man is truly free, the Universe, the World, and the Society can place no constraints on him. Man is tied down, he is born in shackles without Freedom.   

Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life involves the conditioned or the dependent nature of the human existence. The man has no existence if he is not connected to an external source of energy. The external source of energy which supports the existence of Life is often described as the Divine Providence, the original source of Love, Mercy, Grace, and Compassion.

Whole Foundation – Compassion to Uplift Tibetans and to Evict China without causing Pain and Suffering

Tibet Awareness – Compassion, the Foundation of Well-being

TIBET AWARENESS - PAIN AND COMPASSION : I AM SEEKING APPLICATION OF COMPASSION AS A PHYSICAL FORCE/POWER/ENERGY THAT CAN UPLIFT TIBETANS FROM PAIN, MISERY, SUFFERING, SORROW AND "DUKHA."
TIBET AWARENESS – PAIN AND COMPASSION: I AM SEEKING THE APPLICATION OF COMPASSION AS A PHYSICAL FORCE/POWER/ENERGY THAT CAN UPLIFT TIBETANS FROM PAIN, MISERY, SUFFERING, SORROW AND “DUKHA.”

Pain and suffering and experience of sorrow or “dukha” may have a cause according to the Doctrine of ‘Dependent Origination’. Sorrow or dukha is the result of one’s desires for pleasures, power, and continued existence. In case of Tibetan people, the experience of pain and suffering is the direct consequence of military occupation and foreign conquest of their Land. Historically, Tibetans never experienced foreign domination and direct interference in their daily lives until Red China invaded Tibet in 1950. Before intervention by Red China, Tibetans had always enjoyed freedom as a natural right.

TIBET AWARENESS - PAIN AND COMPASSION: I AM SEEKING APPLICATION OF COMPASSION AS A PHYSICAL FORCE TO HELP RED CHINA GET OUT OF TIBET WITHOUT EXPERIENCING PAIN AND SUFFERING.
TIBET AWARENESS – PAIN AND COMPASSION: I AM SEEKING THE APPLICATION OF COMPASSION AS A PHYSICAL FORCE TO HELP RED CHINA GET OUT OF TIBET WITHOUT EXPERIENCING PAIN AND SUFFERING.

When man recognizes pain, suffering and sorrow in the lives of others, man experiences spontaneous arousal of feelings of compassion which is called in Sanskrit language as ‘Karuna’, ‘Krupa’, or ‘Daya’. Pain and sorrow are an unavoidable part of human existence, while compassion is innate to human nature. The instinctive response of compassion acts like a physical force, power, or energy for it can uplift man from sorrow. I am seeking for the application of this force of compassion not only to uplift Tibetans from pain, and misery but also to help Red China to get out of Tibet without pain and suffering.

The Dalai Lama to speak at The O2

PAUL COLSTON

The O2 at night

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is to give a public talk at The O2 in London on 19 September 2015. Organized by the Tibet House Trust, the talk, entitled ‘Compassion: the Foundation of Well-Being’, will begin at 1pm and will be followed by a Q&A session chaired by psychologist Daniel Goleman.

The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and religious leader had celebrated his 80th birthday with an appearance at Glastonbury Festival in June.

​His Holiness released a statement ahead of his 10-day visit to the UK, in which he said:
“My life is dedicated to the service of all sentient beings, and in particular I try to help my fellow human beings in whatever way I can.
“What unites all sentient beings is that we all naturally seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. Therefore, we have a collective responsibility to try to bring about the well-being and happiness of all living beings and help them overcome their suffering.

“This is the basis of hope on which I make an appeal that we all work enthusiastically to promote ethical values imbued with love and compassion and that we do our best to reduce, if not eliminate, the conflicts and violence that currently beset many parts of the world.”

Rebecca Kane Burton, general manager of The O2, said: “We are honoured that His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be making his public address. The Dalai Lama has visited Britain many times over the years but this is the first time he will address the public at the world’s most popular music and entertainment venue. We know it will be an inspiring and enlightening day.”

The talk at The O2 is the main public event of the Dalai Lama’s visit to the UK.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares his view on solving world problems. Since 1950, Tibet is under military occupation. Over the years, Red China strengthened her military grip over Tibet. The Great Problem of Tibet may not be solved through warfare as it cost in terms of human lives and money appear to be prohibitive. While I contemplate on the futility of human effort, I recognize the role of Compassion in mitigating human pain and misery. In my analysis, Compassion is a Fundamental Force/Power/Energy and its application will have both physical and psychological consequences. I am seeking the application of Compassion as a Physical Force to uplift Tibetans from pain and suffering. This uplifting Force would also help Red China to get out of Tibet without the loss of human lives.

Tibet Equilibrium – The Balance of Power – The Future of Red China’s Evil Power. Beijing is Doomed for She is Evil. Prophecy revealed by Isaiah 47 :10 and 11.

Red China is marching towards her own self-destruction as a consequence of her own evil actions. As Doomsayer of Dooma, I predict Red China’s sudden downfall following a sudden, unexpected calamity, catastrophe, disaster, or cataclysmic event which drains Red China’s economic and military power and force her to withdraw People’s Liberation Army from Tibetan territory. As Compassion is the driving Force, Red China gets evicted from Tibet without experiencing pain and suffering that accompanies physical battle.

Using force never solves world problems: Spiritual leader of Tibet

Tibet-UK-Dalai-Lama-2015-Oxford
Whole Compassion – How to resolve the Great Problem of Tibet? As Compassion is the driving Force, Red China gets evicted from Tibet without experiencing pain and suffering that accompanies physical battle.

Oxford, UK — The spiritual leader of Tibet His Holiness the Dalai Lama has praised those countries’ plan to welcome thousands of refugees but warned that a long-term solution was needed, saying “generally using force never solves these problems.”

His remarks came at a meeting Oxford, where he inaugurated the “Dalai Lama Centre for Compassion” – which will specialise in the study of ethics – at the start of a 10-day visit to the UK which will include addressing thousands of people at the 02 arena on Saturday.

“I am a human being, just one among the 7 billion alive today. We all face problems, many of them of our own making. And because we made them, we surely have the ability to solve them. I sometimes wish that grown human beings were more like children, who are naturally open and accepting of others.”

“Instead, as we grow up, we fail to nurture our natural potential and our sense of fundamental human values. We get bogged down in secondary differences between us and tend to think in terms of ‘us’ and ‘them’. Prayer will not change this the way education and intelligence can. We need to learn to distinguish emotions like anger and attachment that are destructive from positive ones like compassion that are a source of happiness,” he said.

He went on to explain that as a Buddhist monk he tries to promote religious harmony, drawing inspiration from the example of India, where all major religions flourish side by side. He described the problems and violence that seem to arise from religious faith today as unthinkable since all religious traditions teach us to be compassionate, forgiving and contented. These are qualities relevant to day to day life. Warm-heartedness, for example, generates trust, which is the foundation of friendship.

His Holiness also explained that he is Tibetan with a responsibility towards the many Tibetans who place their trust and hope in him. He is concerned to preserve Tibet’s natural environment, as well as its compassionate, non-violent Buddhist culture.

Asking for his impressions on the European response to the refugee crisis, he said: “I think some, especially Germany, have given a very good response, and Austria. And then this country also now is showing serious consideration about that – wonderful.”

“But then you have to think, it is impossible for everyone outside Europe to come to Europe, impossible. They are taking care about these refugees, a small number, but ultimately we have to think how to reduce this killing in their own countries.

“And the way to reduce that is not using force … in certain cases maybe but generally using force never solves these problems. He said that only education, dialogue, and personal contact could resolve conflicts in the long-term.

Asked his response to the refugee crisis affecting Europe, he appreciated that their welfare is being taken seriously, but added: “Ultimately we have to stop the killing and fighting in these people’s countries that is forcing them to become refugees, but without the use of force. Military might never solves problems, but instead tends to produce unexpected results.”

“So taking care of several thousand refugees is wonderful, but in the mean time you have to think about long-term solutions, how to bring genuine peace and genuine development, mainly through education, for these Muslim countries,” he said.

He added: “Talk about a clash between Western civilization and Islam is mistaken. My Muslim friends tell me that a genuine Muslim should not spill blood, but should show respect to all the creatures of Allah.”

With regard to his hopes for the new Dalai Lama Centre for Compassion, he said he thought it was a commendable effort, but it would be better to see how it develops. As to whether material development had brought any benefit to Tibetans in Tibet, he expressed appreciation of such infrastructure as roads, airports and the railway.

He also observed that President Xi Jinping seems to be more realistic than some of his predecessors and has been courageous about tackling corruption. When pressed about the 60th anniversary of the declaration of the Tibet Autonomous Region he remarked that many Tibetans are deeply sad inside despite pretending to officials that they are happy.

When one journalist asked if His Holiness thought members of the media had a duty to be more positive about what they report, he commented that while they can’t change the world by themselves, they can make a positive contribution to doing so.

On Sunday, July 06, 2025, I declare that I am a Refugee and I need a Refuge for I do not have either “willpower,” or “Free Will.” I join the Tibetan community in the celebration of the 90th Birth Anniversary of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. May God Bless Him with a Long Life.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Bodhisattva-Avalokitesvara is physically manifested as His Holiness The Dalai Lama.

90th Birthday MessageJuly 5, 2025

On the occasion of my 90th birthday, I understand that well-wishers and friends in many places, including Tibetan communities, are gathering for celebrations. I particularly appreciate the fact that many of you are using the occasion to engage in initiatives that highlight the importance of compassion, warm-heartedness, and altruism.

I am just a simple Buddhist monk; I don’t normally engage in birthday celebrations. However, since you are organizing events focused on my birthday I wish to share some thoughts. 

While it is important to work for material development, it is vital to focus on achieving peace of mind through cultivating a good heart and by being compassionate, not just toward near and dear ones, but toward everyone. Through this, you will contribute to making the world a better place.

As for myself, I will continue to focus on my commitments of promoting human values, religious harmony, drawing attention to the ancient Indian wisdom which explains the workings of mind and emotions, and Tibetan culture and heritage, which has so much potential to contribute to the world through its emphasis on peace of mind and compassion.

I develop determination and courage in my daily life through the teachings of the Buddha and Indian masters such as Shantideva, whose following aspiration I strive to uphold.

As long as space endures,
As long as sentient being remain,
Until then, may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world.

Thank you for using the opportunity of my birthday to cultivate peace of mind and compassion.

Tashi Deleg and with prayers,

Dalai Lama

Excerpt: The author emphasizes his deep connection with India, the land of Gautama Buddha and the profound influence of Buddhism on Indian culture, identity, and national symbols. This article advocates for the freedom of Tibet, currently occupied by China, highlighting the spiritual, historical, and cultural ties India has with Tibet through Buddhism. The author also calls on the United States to uphold democratic values and support Tibetan freedom. He illustrates his commitment to this cause by sharing his first-hand experiences with Tibetan Buddhists, his participation in a challenging trek to support them, and his published essay criticizing the prioritization of economic ties over human rights.

This entry is dedicated to the loving memory of those brave men who sacrificed their lives while nurturing fond hopes to win freedom for Tibet and they cherished a dream to preserve the Tibetan Identity.

Whole Dude – Whole Noble: For India is the Land of Gautama Buddha, we have a duty to defend Tibetan Identity.

Both Telengana and Andhra Pradesh record the influence of Buddha on our hearts and minds. Acharya Nagarjuna, another great Teacher lived in Nalgonda District.  India is the blessed Land where Lord Gautama Buddha had lived and preached. His great compassion and noble qualities made a great impact on our character and our identity as Indians.The symbols such as the National Flag and the National Emblem that we have chosen to represent us speak volumes about the long-lasting influence of the Buddhist preachings.

Whole Dude – Whole Noble: India – The Land of Gautama Buddha. The national flag of India is popularly known as ‘TIRANGA’ or ‘TRICOLOR’. The Saffron or subdued Orange represents Courage, Sacrifice, and the Spirit of Renunciation. The White represents Purity, Peace, and Truth. The Green stands for Fertility, Prosperity, and Faith. The Blue Chakra, the 24-spoked Wheel symbolizes the Wheel of Life in Movement and Death in stagnation. It is the same as the DHARMA CHAKRA or the Wheel of Law found in the Saranath Lion Capital of Emperor Ashoka the Great.

I had the good fortune to visit Buddhist temples known as Gompas and got acquainted with the Buddhist religious traditions for over four years while I lived with Tibetan Buddhists. I had also visited Tibetan Camps in Bylakuppe and Mundgod in the State of Karnataka.

In December 1974, when I arrived in Secunderabad, I thought that I am posted to a military station away from my camp life with Buddhists.The motto of our military formation in Secunderabad is “BASH ON REGARDLESS.” I reached Secunderabad from the Himalayan frontier with the hope that I could bring my wife and my daughter from Kadapa where they had been living while I was serving at a field location where families are not permitted to live. As I arrived at my new Unit, the first thing that I was told was that I need to immediately proceed on a military training exercise and that I am not allowed to bring my family to Secunderabad as my services are urgently needed for the exercise.I dutifully took my place in a military convoy and after a few hours my vehicle went past the government quarters where my parents lived while my father worked as Principal of the Nagarjuna Government Arts College in Nalgonda.

Prince Siddhartha left his wife and infant son in the middle of the night and abandoned his life of comfort in a royal palace as he desired to find the “Truth.” I had no intention to travel in the foot steps of Gautama Buddha, but I chose to stay away from my family if that could help His followers to reclaim their lost possessions and preserve their identity. Even today when I look back, I do not regret the time I spent away from my family and my mission to support Tibetan Buddhists was indeed a serious one. I was willing to put my life on-line if that could make a difference in the lives of those Buddhists who needed my services. I want to share the following essay which was published in ‘The Ann Arbor News’ on Thursday,October 14,1999 and hopefully this essay may convey you the passion with which I had served to support the followers of Gautama Buddha: 

Don’t neglect Tibet for the sake of making money in China: 

Don’t Neglect Tibet For the Sake of Making Money in China.

The United States-China relationship has naturally come under a critical review because of the nuclear espionage charges.It is irrelevant if China has actually benefited from the sensitive information that the U.S. has lost. What is far more important is the fact that the U.S. has lost its ability to keep sensitive information secure. 

Presidential candidate George W.Bush has very correctly pointed out that the U.S. needs to prepare against a potential military threat that China might pose. 

A review of the U.S.-China bilateral relationship should take us back 30 years to the time it actually began. The relationship,from the beginning,has no solid foundation. In spite of the huge trade and commerce relationship that the U.S. built up with China over these years, there is a basic lack of trust. 

The reason for this mistrust is political. The Chinese political system derives its strength from the ideology of communism. The U.S. essentially adheres to the values of democracy, freedom and liberty. 

China, as of today, is not a free society.Its political philosophy does not inspire us and is not trustworthy.Whatever the U.S. business investments may be,whatever the market reforms that China has introduced in recent times may be, there is a huge gap in terms of our political ideologies. 

Communism and democracy cannot become good partners in a bilateral relationship. 

The reason that I believe would end the U.S.-China bilateral relationship is the problem of Tibet. 

The identity of Tibetan people could not be destroyed by all these years of Chinese oppression.The passion of Tibetan people for their freedom could not be subdued by prolonged, brutal occupation. Tibetan people are brave and courageous. They are willing to pay the price to regain their land and liberate it. They have the strength, will power and commitment to achieve this goal. 

I witnessed this fact when I marched with hundreds of Tibetans through dense inhospitable forests for three months some years ago. 

This was not a camping expedition.We had sick people and severely injured people who were sent to hospitals.We had beautiful people who lost their lives in those remote forests and they lay buried or cremated there. Their sacrifices are etched into my memory. 

The only reason for taking that risk to suffer loss of life is the issue of winning back Tibetan freedom. 

I also had an opportunity to speak with hundreds of Tibetan boys. Each one of them had a clear idea of their national identity and a compelling desire to win their freedom even if they had to pay for it with their lives. 

The U.S. should understand that the issue of Tibet is not going to fade away. 

When China occupied Tibet, the U.S. sent its citizens to help these people to plan their resistance.The U.S. sent tons and tons of supplies to aid their struggle. U.S. did not cover itself in glory when it withdrew this support it gave to Tibetans. The U.S. personnel were withdrawn and the aid dried up. That was an intensely painful moment for people like me who were then living with Tibetan people.

All of us had an understanding of the event that led the U.S. to backstab the Tibetan people. The U.S. sacrificed the freedom of the Tibetan people in its quest for establishing bilateral ties with communist China. 

Thirty years after this betrayal, the United States should reevaluate the basic principles for which it stands today. The U.S. flag has been always a symbol of freedom. The issue is not that of containment of China. The issue is not that of engagement of China. The real issue is that of the freedom of the Tibetan people. We need to stand up for our own fundamental values and do the right thing.

Trouble in Tibet – Have Hope – Compassion Will Strike Evil Red Empire. Lady Gaga and the Dalai Lama talk about Hope and Compassion. Beijing is Doomed.

Singer Lady Gaga has set off a bit of a firestorm in China after she posted a picture on Instagram of herself and the Dalai Lama. Lady Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Germanotta, spoke with the Dalai Lama on the topics of hope and kindness at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis.

Over in China, however, people were not so thrilled. The singer has reportedly been banned from the country, but government officials are being relatively mum on this. If her music is actually banned, she’d hardly be the first musician to be prohibited from entering China.

Following Lady Gaga’s meeting, the Communist party’s mysterious propaganda department issued “an important instruction” banning her entire repertoire from mainland China, Hong Kong’s pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily reported on Monday.

Chinese websites and media organisations were ordered to stop uploading or distributing her songs in a sign of Beijing’s irritation, the newspaper said.
The propaganda department also issued orders for party-controlled news outlets such as state broadcaster CCTV and newspapers the People’s Daily and the Global Times to condemn the meeting.

Additionally, Lady Gaga’s angered Chinese fans spammed her Instagram account and posted on the Chinese social network Weibo commenting that they would no longer listen to her music as they were furious at her. Others said that Lady Gaga’s meeting with the Dalai Lama “hurts a lot” and that they were disappointed with the singer.
The Dalai Lama has been exiled from China since 1959. Lady Gaga has never performed on the Chinese mainland, but has done concerts in both Hong Kong and Macau.

Whole Dude – Whole Compassion

Whole Dude – Whole Compassion: Lord Gautama Buddha c. 563 to c. 483 B.C. also known as Prince Siddhartha (he who will accomplish) witnessed irremediable human suffering in the form of physical disability, sickness, old age, and death. Acting under the uplifting Power of Compassion, he left the royal palace in search of Truth. Whole Dude is a Whole Person who is Compassionate because of his true or innate human nature.

Lord Gautama Buddha also known as Prince Siddhartha married at age 16 leading a life of luxury and comfort in a royal palace. While he took a fateful chariot trip outside the palace, for the first time in his life, Prince Siddhartha witnessed irremediable human suffering in the form of physical disability, sickness, old age, and death. He left the palace at the age of 29 leaving behind his young wife and infant son. His departure from the palace in search of Truth to discover a remedy for human pain and suffering demonstrates the uplifting power of Compassion. Sympathy (sym=together + pati=suffer) describes the emotional feelings of sorrow for the sufferings or troubles of another person or others accompanied by an urge to help. Compassion describes an understanding arising from the sameness of feeling. Compassion is the key to true or real human nature. A Whole Dude or a Whole Person is Compassionate because of his true or innate human nature. Man may choose a course of action and behavior that is derived from his thoughts, feelings, moods, and desires. But, man’s existence is entirely supported by a Force/Energy/Power that could be called Compassion/Mercy/Grace of LORD GOD Creator.
