More news of mounting SHAME for China as Japanese Temple tells the IOC and Chinese Olympic Committee they are no longer interested in being a part of the Flame of Shame ceremonies. Seems the monks at the Zenkoji Temple, a landmark in Nagano City are no longer interested in endorsing an Olympics hosted by China who has a horrid history of abusing human rights, of oppressing Tibet and the Tibetan people. The people of the world need to unite behind the boycott of China's Olympic's, should NOT ATTEND the events. If the athletes out of personal greed chose to attend the Olympic's, let them perform to empty stadiums.
Japanese temple refuses to host torch ceremony
A Japanese Buddhist temple has reportedly pulled out of plans to host a ceremony for the Olympic torch relay because of concerns over Tibet.
Jiji Press reports Zenkoji Temple, a landmark in Nagano City which hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics, cited China's crackdown in Tibet for the decision, which has forced the city to change the starting point of the relay route.
The city asked the temple last autumn to host the starting ceremony.
"We fondly accepted the plan," a local official said, noting the temple had rung bells for the opening ceremonies for the 1998 Nagano Games as well as for the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
"But the situation has changed. Monks here are very concerned."
