For centuries, Tibetans have strung colourful prayer flags (or Lung ta meaning “Wind Horse”) outside their homes, at mountain passes, across rivers and in other places considered sacred to their culture.

The yellow, green, red, white and blue prayer flags are inscribed with blessings, prayers and mantras which are broadcast on the wind. Tibetans believe that the fluttering prayer flags bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the one who hangs them, the surrounding countryside and to all beings wherever the wind blows.

We hope that the sight of the prayer flags submitted through this campaign will encourage the Prime Minister to publicly offer his practical support to the Dalai Lama’s Middle Way approach.

On your behalf ATC will deliver your message to the Prime Minister on a prayer flag.

Dear Prime Minister,

I am writing to request that you publicly endorse the Australian government’s support for the “Middle Way” approach to resolving the Tibet-China issue as promoted by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and that you offer Australia as a neutral venue for talks between the Chinese government and the Dalai Lama.

The Middle Way approach seeks autonomy rather than independence and reflects the Tibetan people’s genuine desire for a peaceful resolution of the Tibet-China issue.

I understand that the Australian government has privately urged China “to engage in meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama”. However, given that the Chinese government continues to avoid substantive talks with the Dalai Lama and his representatives I believe that it is time for Australia to make its position more public.

Thank you.
