Chinese intellectuals, activists, writers, and sinologists from Europe, US, Asia and Australia took part in a two-day Sino-Tibetan conference in Hamburg which was aimed at finding a common ground in pursuit of a just and peaceful resolution to the issue of Tibet through dialogue and reconciliation.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama addressed the conference on the second day, saying that he was glad to greet Chinese brothers and sisters, and that more and more Chinese people are coming to hear him teach. He quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent remark that Buddhism has an important role to play in reviving Chinese culture.
Tibetan Political Leader Dr Lobsang Sangay attended the conference to give the keynote speech, “The Middle-Way Approach – The Path Forward”. Sangay said that the Middle-Way Approach gains more support every year from the Chinese community and that more than 1,000 articles and opinion pieces have been written by Chinese scholars and writers supporting dialogue to resolve the issue of Tibet.
The conference, “Finding Common Ground”, which took place at the Grand Elysee in Hamburg on August 27-28, was organised by the Central Tibetan Administration and co-ordinated by the Office of the Special Representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Europe.
