Tom Lantos: Loss of a Voice of Peace and Reason

Filed Under Commentary | Posted on February 12, 2008

Back in May, 2007, I expressed my admiration for California Representative Tom Lantos. Sadly, Representative Lantos died yesterday of esophageal cancer at Bethesda Naval Medical Center.

Lantos was a tireless champion of human rights, an outspoken ally of the Tibetan people in their struggle against Chinese oppression, and a friend and supporter of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His voice of compassion, peace, and reason will be missed.

May he be with the blessing lights and enjoy peace and joy in the bardo and in all his future lives.
