About us
Tibet Solidarity Network was formed by people in Wellington who are concerned about the Tibet issue. We are a diverse mix of people made up of Wellington's Tibetan community, people interested in Buddhism, students, retired people, professionals and young people.
We understand that the history of Tibet and Tibet's future are controversial topics. What we do know is that there are some serious problems in Tibet at present. Thousands leave Tibet each year by foot over the Himalayas, hundreds are missing or imprisoned due to their political or religious beliefs and prisoners are routinely tortured and sometimes executed in Tibet. It is this present situation that we work towards changing through raising awareness of the Tibet issue. We believe that Tibetans should be the ones to remembering their own past and determining their own futures. We believe in His Holiness the Dalai Lama�s Middle Way Approach.
We work closely with other groups that work on the Tibet issue where possible. Tibet Solidarity Network aims to provide people with an opportunity to work on the Tibet issue in Wellington in whatever way they would like to in a supported environment. We strive towards information-sharing as well as engaging both members of the Tibetan and Chinese communities. We are in no way anti-Chinese people and culture and welcome constructive dialogue.'
