As a Tibetan I am inspired by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on my daily life to continue fighting for justice for Tibet, and also to be a good human being and a responsible citizen of this world. I’ll contribute through my art to work as much as I can to bring awareness about Tibet.

Wasfia Nazreen, Bangladesh
On the occasion of the 80th birthday of your holiness, I take this pledge to commit to Non Violence action in my everyday life. Your hard work and lifelong dedication towards our people through the non-violence path will soon realize, and the day will come when we will all be reunited back in Tibet.

Only with a pledge to non-violence in our minds can we truly be able to transform this world into a kingdom of peace. Kundun taught me that. Taking this pledge once again, is the least i can do.

Lobsang Gyatso Sither, India
It is not about whether non-violence has all the answers, it is about the commitment and motivation of working towards a finding a solution through non-violence and on the occasion of the 80th Birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, I re-pledge my commitment to non-violence.

Freya Putt, Canada
I take this pledge because Tibetans, like all people, have the right to live in freedom, and history shows that strategic use of nonviolence is the most effective way to achieve lasting change.

Tenzin Tselha, India
I commit to non-violence because I believe in action and non- violence is all about action, discipline and commitment.

Jyotsna George, India
I pledge to stay committed to nonviolent action because as an Indian this is my legacy. I have seen the power of nonviolent resistance, and am convinced that it is the only way to a lasting solution to oppression and injustice.

Bhuchung D. Sonam, Tibet
‘One act of violence brings forth another and there is no end to it,’ His Holiness once said. I firmly believe that non-violence is the strongest way of resistance. I take this pledge with hope that our struggle will win through this method.

Lhadon Tethong, United States
I think one of the best ways to pay homage to His Holiness on his 80th birthday is for Tibetans and our supporters to help highlight his great legacy of nonviolence to the world by affirming our personal commitment to nonviolence – especially now as many question the resolve of Tibetans to remain nonviolent in the future. I firmly believe we can end China’s occupation of our beautiful homeland if Tibetans in and outside of Tibet engage in rigorous and strategic nonviolent action.

Nathan Freitas, United States
I commit to non-violence, because it is clear from the world, that violence only begets more violence, pain, and suffering. There is no true way to win a violent war, there is only an end. Non-violence promises a future, where we can move forward together.

Tenzin Tsundue, Tibet
I personally believe in the principle of Nonviolence. It is the source of my peace, sense of calm and dignity, and from here I reach others. I am committed to nonviolent action for Tibet. I keep my Buddha in my heart and work with Gandhi in my mind.

Lobsang Tseten, Tibet
I pledge to take non violent direct action because I have seen it work all over the world.

TenDolkar, United States
I commit to nonviolence in our struggle for Tibet because I believe that a better world is possible through nonviolent action – not just because it is based on compassion and the belief in inherent goodness of humankind, but also because nonviolence is a smart strategy in our fight against one of the most oppressive regimes of our time.

Kate Woznow, United States
I wholeheartedly take pledge of nonviolence and commit to working in solidity with the Tibetan people until they have regained freedom in their country. His Holiness the Dalai Lama inspires me to be a better more compassionate person. Through strategic nonviolent action, I pledge to help change the conditions that deny Tibetans their fundamental rights and the ability to be with their beloved leader in Tibet.
