today there was a big demonstration for tibet and the dalai lama in front of brandenburger tor here in berlin. before there was a shameful discussion, questioning if the dalai lama should be received in audience by the german government - our chancellor gave him last autumn a private audience and the government of china reacted very angry. for this reason the german government show the white feather by this visit.









i never heard such a speaker during a demonstrations... with kindness, humor and a really relaxed manner. not loud and aggressive, screaming around. but his tenor is clear and strong.



















there were about 25.000 people standing around me, so I couldn´t really see him. the only thing i could see was a small little man -like an orange point. but thankfully there was a big video screen.














at the end the peoples greeted him and sent their wishes for dialogue for freedom, leaving their balloons with the colors of tibet, flying into the sky and as a message to the world.
