A historically isolated people, the Tibetans have now
indeed come to the land o f the red man, and near­

Tibetans fled to India and parts west. In the 19 8 0 s,
the prophecy was fulfilled, and the Dalai Lama, ex­

plants heal us (they have catalogued more than two

they predicted the demise o f their own country at
the hands o f the Chinese; they saw the coming o f
AIDS almost ten centuries ago. These people are
dying off, and with them, the wisdom we need to
make it through the next century and beyond.

many Tibetan elders were killed in reed u catio n
