Message of Saddness
Peter Terpstra
I am saddened by the Chinese Government sentencing Liu Xiaobo, a well-known
Chinese writer, to an 11-year jail term. By sentencing Liu Xiaobo and others
like him, who use freedom of expression to publicly articulate their opinions,
the Chinese authorities have not only violated the binding principles of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights but also the freedom of expression
mentioned in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. I urge the
Chinese Government to release, as soon as possible, Liu Xiaobo and other
political prisoners who were jailed for exercising their freedom of
expression. I offer my regards and prayers to Mr. Liu Xiaobo, his wife and
other family members.

Dhammapada number 344:
He who having got rid of the forest (of lust) (i.e. after having reached
Nirvana) gives himself over to forest-life (i.e. to lust), and who,
when removed from the forest (i.e. from lust), runs to the forest
(i.e. to lust), look at that man! though free, he runs into bondage. 344

Dhammapada number 393:
A man does not become a Brahmana by his platted hair, by his family,
or by birth; in whom there is truth and righteousness, he is blessed,
he is a Brahmana. 393
