"We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight. "
- Martin Luther King, Jr., "CONSCIENCE AND THE VIETNAM WAR" in The Trumpet of Conscience, 1968

Erik Törner is a Tibet analyst from IM who last visited Tibet in January 2011.
Tradruk or Trandruk Temple, also written Changzhug Monastery in the Yarlung Valley is the earliest great geomantic temple after the Jokhang - and some sources say it is even pre-dates the Jokhang.
It was founded by the great Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo, and was part of a series of demonsubduing temples. Trandruk pinned down the left shoulder of the demon.
King Trisong Detsen made it one of three Royal Temples.
The monastery was badly destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
I visited Trandtruk and Tibet in January 2011.
It was a cold time, hardly no tourists visit Tibet in winter time. On the other hand, as it is too cold to work for both farmers and nomads, they traditionally have a month of and go on pilgrimage. Thereby, all sights where filled with Tibetans, mostly from the countryside.
Dressed up for the occasion, and very curious to meet Westerners, they made it worth sleeping without heat or electricity in below zero temperatures.

Theme: compassion. My friends separate their recycling and leave the bottles on the curb to make it easier for the guys who collect the bottles out of trash and recycling
bins.
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, suddenly a woman comes out of the crowd. Her name is Veronica. You can see how she cares for you as she takes a cloth and begins to wipe the blood and sweat from your face. She can't do much, but she offers what little help she can.
As a child, sometimes I know someone could use a little help and understanding. They may be picked on or teased by others, or just sad or lonely. Sometimes I feel bad that others don't step in to help, but I don't help either.
As an adult, I notice the needs around me. Sometimes my own family members crave my attention, and I don't even seem to notice. Sometimes a co-worker, friend, or family member could use help or understanding, but I don't reach out to help lest I be criticized, or that they demand more of me than I'd like to give.
My tender Jesus, Who didst deign to print Thy sacred face upon the cloth with which Veronica wiped the sweat from off Thy brow, print in my soul deep, I pray Thee, the lasting memory of Thy bitter pains.
Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....
Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said,"Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.
John 19: 1-3
"The truly compassion makes us truly human and prevents us turned to stone, as the monsters of wickedness of legends."

I've visited many Compassion International projects in the last few years. From Guatemala, Uganda, Philippines, and here in Haiti. I'm blown away every time by the hope these children have despite living in such dire situations. This picture gets me because of the look on this kids face. He was so proud to hold that sign (he made it by the way, not us.)
For those of you unfamiliar with Compassion International, they are literally changing the lives of over a million children in poverty around the world. This is only possible through sponsorships from you and me. If you want to know more about Compassion, you can contact me or visit their website at Compassion.com
