The Seminar was organised by the Chinese Alliance for Democracy for the two-day from 24-25 September at Birdwood Hall, Bankstown Sport Centre, Sydney.
In his opening remarks, Representative Karma Singey said that the challenge caused by the CCP is very serious and if the expansionist greed and repressive policies of CCP remains unchallenged, then our liberal values are at stake, democracy is at stake, human rights and environmental issues are at stake.
He informed the gathering that the CCP, which doesn’t believe in religion, is attempting to meddle in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of reincarnations. He said, “Reincarnation is a strictly spiritual matter that the CCP is politicising and this is in clear violation of the basic human right of religious freedom and contrary to the fundamentals of our spiritual tradition.”
Representative Karma called on the participants to treat Tibet as a matter of International concern. He said, “the Tibetan struggle is not against the Chinese people, it is against the hard-line policies of the Chinese regime in Tibet and if the Tibet issue is resolved peacefully, it will be beneficial not only for the Tibetan people but also for the whole region.”
