Csaba Sógor greeted the Dalai Lama on behalf of the Hungarian community in Transylvania
His Holiness the Dalai Lama organized a grand ceremony in India between 1-4 September 2010 on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Tibetan government in exile.
DAHR’s MEP Csaba Sógor received an invitation on behalf of the Tibetan
Intergroup of the European Parliament (EP) to the event where guests
committed to the Tibetan cause from all over the world were invited.
The event launched with a thanksgiving Buddhist ceremony praising the Dalai Lama’s non-violent efforts towards the Tibetan community’s autonomy.
More than twenty thousand people gathered in the Sera Jay monastery in Bylakkupe on September 2nd to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Tibetan democracy. MEP Csaba Sógor delivered the greetings of the Hungarian community living in Transylvania to His Holiness, the representatives of the Tibetan and Indian government and the numerous guests. In his address, the MEP noted that perseverance is the most important value of the communities living in minority status.
„We always need to find new possibilities to ensure our community’s survival and prosperity. We need to try to achieve the impossible even in the gravest circumstances” – said Csaba Sógor.
In his remarks, the MEP stated that the Hungarian community in Transylvania holds the highest regard for the Tibetan community that has been striving for human rights, democracy, freedom and autonomy for many decades. „Democracy begins where minorities have autonomy, where no death penalty is in place and disputes are settled through debate” – said Csaba Sógor about the foundations of modern democracies.
Csaba Sógor also attended the fifth annual meeting of the 133 member large International Network for parliamentarians on Tibet (INPaT). The meeting resulted in a resolution to support the revival of Tibetan settlements and the issues of human rights and self governance in Tibet. Member of INPaT also decided to call upon the Chinese government to resume talks with Tibet.
On the last day of the visit Csaba Sógor took part in the graduation ceremony of the Ngagyur Nyingma Buddhist university in the Namdroling monastery where graduates received their diplomas from the Dalai Lama himself.
After the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959 the Dalai Lama settled in the Indian town of Dharamsala. Along with his companions in exile, he has been striving for decades for freedom, peace and self governance, believing in and preparing for his return. Not long after his emigration he established the Tibetan Parliament-in-exile with monthly meetings and the Central Tibetan Administration acting as a government. Based upon the opinions of Tibetan leaders, the Dalai Lama proclaimed the constitution of the future free and independent Tibet on the 2nd of September 1960.
