3. Telemarathon "Tibet".
I suggest to organize Telemarathon "Tibet" which could help to raise funds to help Tibetan refugees. The Telemarathon would be first of all a meeting with the well-known Buddhist teachers. Besides it would be possible to show films about Dalai Lama, situation in Tibet, Tibetan arts, shot by the foreign and home film-makers.
In our telecasts and plots we would offer to visit Dharamsala - the residence of H.H. the Dalai Lama, Potala, the holy valley of Katmandu and Lumbini, and also the representatives of H.H. the Dalai Lama and the Buddhist monasteries in Europe and Asia.
Telemarathon - will be also a number of meetings with the outstanding religious figures of other religions the Pope, the Patriarch of Russia, Swami Lokeshwarananda.
Also during the Telemarathon it would be possible to shoot a number of meetings with the Heads of the Governments who received H.H. the Dalai Lama as the head of the Tibet Government in exile - (the Presidents of USA, Canada, Chechoslovakia, Lithuania, the Prime-minister of Great Britain and also the General Secretary of the UNO).
In course of preparation to the Telemarathon, it would be possible to issue a monthly bulletin of the Telemarathon.
Certainly, the Telemarathon "Tibet" would become a reality only with the help many allies, Buddhists and simply sympathizers, who will share their time, pains, their copy-rights on films and money to realize this idea. According to the preliminary calculations, it will cost about 1 million dollars.
Please, address all proposals, ideas and responses about any assistance to post address of NB.
