12. "Tibetan monks from India"

Tibet is its own country, India does not contain Tibet ;

Photo proves they are from Tibet.

[A Little Weird]

14. I read somewhere else that they are in exile in India

That threw me at first too.

[yuiyoshida]

15. Do you have a link that

Specifically says they came from India? The post came from twitter. The guy who posted it probably thought that all Buddhists come from India. They don't, they come from TIbet and even carry a sign. Why not carry a sign that says from India. They didn't and the sign says from Tibet.

17. this guy actually met with them

[A Little Weird]

20. No it was just something I read I didn't keep a link.

To me, the sign just indicated they were there to show that the people of Tibet were in solidarity with the people of Ferguson. I can see how it could be taken literally to mean "we've come from Tibet". But I don't see why it would be difficult to believe that they came from India - Tibetan monks are still Tibetan if they are living in another country.

21. in EXILE

These men have come to #Ferguson, MO all the way from India, where they live in exile, to bring a message of PEACE

22. okay thank you

[Aristus]

24. I was wondering when you were going to let that go.

I was tempted to ask if you wanted to pat them down at customs.

The takeaway should be: they're monks. And they're here. Remember Michael.

[yuiyoshida]

26. why does everyone believe i hate monks?

I am Buddhist for godsakes.. Where is all this crap coming up that I HATE MONKS?

[Aristus]

28. It wasn't that.

I don't think you hate monks. I just thought the fact (and proof of that fact) that they were Tibetan and living in exile in India was less important than the fact that they showed up to demonstrate their support.

We are all one. Be serene...

18. Has FOX "News" brought up Al Gore and the Buddhist Temple and the Iced Tea?

[Chimeradog]

23. excellent!

Kudos to them, I am watching PBS The Buddha right now. A religion of peace and kindness, compassion.

How is it America, a supposed "christian nation" is so militarized and violent now { rhetorical question }

27. Do some reading about the different religions and you will learn.

A do it yourself comparative religion class. Good luck!
