Tibetan Uprising Day, observed on March 10, commemorates the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the presence of the People's Republic of China in Tibet. The uprising ultimately resulted in a violent crackdown on Tibetan independence movements, and the flight of the Dalai Lama into exile. Jesus was neither the first nor the last to suffer for righteousness, but as Christians we look to Jesus as the divine endorsement of that type of suffering. Not everyone is called to it, but all are saved by it.
Namaste! Amen!
The Readings
Deuteronomy 30:15-20
Psalm 1
Luke 9:22-25
Jesus said, ‘The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.’
Then he said to them all, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it. What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?
