Question asked by Charles Wong
Dear Sir, Thailand has recently arrested an American named Joe Gordon for translating (into Thai) parts of "The King Never Smiles," a critical academic book about the King of Thailand. (Gordon's "crime" of lese majeste was committed while he was in the USA.) You have written about how, as an American, how much you value Freedom of Speech. If you would be willing, as a Buddhist leader, to add your voice to the list of those calling for his release, this might be very helpful. Thank you very much.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
