The Chinese embassy in Mexico is bringing an exhibition about Tibetan Buddhism (among other pieces), "Guanyin Buda," to the MUNE. We protested at the opening ceremony, when some Chinese authorities were present. Our message was that Tibetan Buddhism IS NOT part of the cultural heritage of China and IT IS NOT the Chinese embassy who should show these pieces; they belong to Tibet and Tibetans. We also distributed 2,000 flyers to the audience.
