I recently saw the Dalai Lama on television talking about "starvation"
in Tibet. Some of the problem is due to the Chinese occupation, but
much of the food shortage problem Tibet is facing can be attributed to
the global food crisis created by biofuel production, which literally
turns mountains of the world's human food supply into fuel for our
cars and trucks. Those of you who meditate might consider using some
of your gained inner energy to fight this global food crisis. See
"The biofuel hoax is causing a world food crisis!" at:

Meditation is great, but keeping the world from starving is absolutely
essential. Tibet, Nepal, India, and other countries with large low
income populations are obviously the most affected by skyrocketing
prices of basic staple foods, which have increased by 80%% in the last
3 years according to the World Bank. Misguided United States and
European Union biofuels policies are to blame for "30 to 70%%" of that
price rise, according to German Development Minister Heidemarie
Wieczorek-Zeul. Turning food into fuel on an overpopulated, food and
water starved little planet was not the best idea that George W. Bush
and Nancy Pelosi have come up with.
