Holiness, we have a letter.
:47:51
The 13th Dalai Lama
wrote this letter...
:47:54
the year before he died;
before you were born.
:48:02
"When I reached
the age of 18,
:48:04
I was called upon to accept...
:48:07
the responsibility
of serving as spiritual...
:48:10
and secular head
of the country.
:48:13
The responsibility
was by no means small,
:48:16
and it weighed heavily
upon my mind.
:48:20
And then
the Chinese invaded."
:48:23
"There was really
nothing much we could do,
:48:25
other than pray.
:48:28
Our prayers
were soon answered.
:48:31
For the power of truth
is great and karma, infallible.
:48:36
We routed the Chinese out.
:48:41
It may happen...
:48:43
that here in Tibet...
:48:45
religion and government
will be attacked.
:48:50
The monasteries will be looted
and destroyed...
:48:55
and the monks and nuns
killed... or chased away.
