Is Tibet Forgotten? We Hope Not… is first and foremost an intimate statement on why Tarthang Tulku, and the organizations he founded in the US, Europe, and Brazil work for Tibet. From a broader perspective, it conveys through the account of the Tibetan refugees the incredible suffering that can result from ignorance, hatred, and attachment to self-centered, short-sighted views. In their struggles to rebuild their culture in exile, the refugees have also demonstrated to the wider world that it is possible to defuse the force of resentment and blame.

"By finding ways to use difficult circumstances to strengthen the practice of non-attachment, forgiveness, and compassion, we can contribute to the transformation of the dark emotions that dictate human actions."
