The Radical Party has approached the Dalai Lama, with the idea of organizing the first, great "World Satyagraha" before the end of 1996, for peace and freedom in Tibet, and the democratization of China.

A Gandhian Satyagraha organized with the help of the media and state-of-the-art technologies, supported by U.N. initiatives in every country.

A large-scale hunger strike in the name of hope and dialogue, to be carried out worldwide - indefinitely in some places - by parliaments, by the poor and the powerful, with a sufficiently important and strong objective chosen with great care. This objective should be compatible with China's constitutional principles, but also implement the principles laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Resolutions of the United Nations. It should follow the direction that the Dalai Lama has taken for some time, which may show China how to change its history, starting with that of Tibet, by pursuing a peaceful and democratic form of development.

A project of this dimension would take over two years to organize properly, even with the much hoped for mobilization of the great religious and spiritual forces, as well as the popular and political forces throughout the world. But simply to inform, to collaborate with all the nonviolent, Gandhian, peace-loving and Buddhist-inspired groups, there is a need for spiritual strength, human and financial resources, wisdom and dedicated action without precedent.

For these reasons, we invite you to confirm your participation in the "1996 World Satyagraha for Tibet" by filling in the form below (in block capitals) so that we can inform you in good time of further details of this great nonviolent initiative.
