With the Seattle visit of the political leader of Tibet, the contesting viewpoints of Olympic host China, and many of its people, appear to clash with common viewpoint of spiritual tenets of buddhist philosophy - and some little discussed perspectives on past Tibetan practices.
The Seattle Times lead article, partnered with an interview with musician Dave Matthews who was invited to lead the conversation. Much in the news has been the clamour for political viewpoint positioning during the traditional run of the Olympic torch in Europe and in San Francisco, the latter its only North American continent appearance.
It brings up discussion of philosophical idealism of the Olympic movement, and the traditional political posturing of the host nations countered by any who oppose their popular views and, official practices.
