There is a gold more precious than gold

This beautiful song asks Tibetans to preserve Tibetan language, protect Tibet's environment and for Tibetans to maintain unity.

The lyrics are below: Translated by TheLhasay

There is a gold more precious than gold
Vowels and 30 consonants are more important than gold
Tibetans who wish to obtain gold
Learn the spoken and written Tibetan language
Learn the spoken and written Tibetan language

There is a silver more precious than the white silver
Tibet`s environment is more precious than the silver
Tibetans who wish to obtain silver wealth,
Preserve and protect the roof of the world
Preserve and protect the roof of the world.

There is a jewellery more precious than the jewellery
Tibetan people are more precious than the jewellery
Tibetans who wish to obtain jewellery wealth,
Work for and maintain the unity among ourselves
Work for and maintain the unity among ourselves.

“Whether the Chinese government admits it or not, there is a problem. The problem is a nation with ancient cultural heritage is actually facing serious dangers,” he said. “Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place.” By His Holiness The Dalai Lama

If man will only realize that it is unmanly to obey laws that are unjust, no man's tyranny will enslave him. This is the key to self-rule or home-rule. By Mahatma Gandhi

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our breasts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent. By Mahatma Gandhi

Far better than cowardice would be meeting one's death fighting. By Mahatma Gandhi

"Negroes are human, not superhuman. Like all people, they have differing personalities, diverse financial interests and varied aspirations. There are Negroes who will never fight for freedom. There are Negroes who will seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle. There are even some Negores, who will cooperate with the oppressors. These facts should distress no one. Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, profiteers, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No on can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy. The real issue is whether in the great mass the dominant characteristics are decency, honor and courage." By Dr. Martin Luther King
