"The Snow Lion is a mythic beast of Tibetan legends. As a protector of the Nation, the Snow Lion is emblazoned on the Tibetan flag. Today the Tibetan flag is outlawed in its homeland."
[Feature documentary film "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion"]
Clouds of fear
Roved the sky as the enemies
Chased the sun away from their land
Blacked, got, the snow
As the footsteps by enemies
Chased the peace away
From their land
Hope and light,
The Snow Lion brings
Through wisdom
Hate and lies,
Dragon infuses into freedom
The land of snow
Being invaded by enemies
Shrines and beauties dressed up in ruins
One can't believe
Any words said by enemies
Cultural invasion begins
Suspicious walls
Prison of glass
Freedom is now stuck
Behind the bars of past
Curse...uprising curse
Enemies of compassions
Despotic thirst
Waves of hate...undertowed
Tragic fate...sinking
Waves of hate...undertowed
Mourning braves...drowning
"When I see beings of wicked nature oppressed by violent misdeeds and affliction...May I hold them dear, as if I had found a rare and precious treasure."
[The 14th Dalai Lama]
