Dalai Lama Blesses ChthoniC and Free Tibet 2009
In order to facilitate the 2009 Free Tibet Concert, CHTHONIC vocalist Freddy Lim, along with several musicians from Taiwan , visited the political and spiritual leader Dalai Lama in Dharamsala , India , where the Tibetan government-in-exile is located. Freddy expressed the mission of this concert, and extended many welcomes from Taiwanese people for Dalai Lama to visit anytime. Dalai Lama reiterated the idea that “supporting Tibet is supporting freedom and human rights which are valued all over the world.”
In a press statement, CHTHONIC state that they have always cared about human rights, and they feel connected to Tibet who shares a similar history with Taiwan . Ever since the Chinese government claimed its sovereignty, Tibet has been under military threat and international pressure. Like Taiwan was targeted by thousands of missiles from China and lost its stand in front of the world, millions of Tibetans fought hard and lost their lives and homeland.
CHTHONIC held the Free Tibet Concert in 2003 in Taipei with the BEASTIE BOYS and many other artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan in attendance. However, most of the artists went silent after being blacklisted in China . CHTHONIC remains the only band speaking up for Tibet from their own politically sensitive country.

If Chiang Kai-Shek hadn’t been such a pussy and general loser, Taiwan would never have been in this situation.
Chthonic probably should not go into mainland China anytime soon, they might end up getting “disappeared.”

I’d call him Mr. Lama. YO LAMA!
