TIBET EQUILIBRIUM – DOCTOR’S ORDER – COMPASSION

TIBET EQUILIBRIUM – DOCTOR’S ORDER – COMPASSION

His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s personal physician, Dr. Barry Kerzin who lives in India is prescribing use of Compassion in practice of Medicine. Compassion is an instinct that is evoked when a person witnesses pain and suffering in the lives of other living entities. Compassion provides Motivation or Drive to perform actions that will help to relieve pain experienced by a victim and provide uplift to such victim to overcome feelings of sorrow and misery. Compassion acts like a physical force for it helps the performer of Compassionate action. While acting under the influence of Compassion, the performer acts without experiencing personal hardship or tiredness. Compassion provides additional energy with which performer of Compassionate actions overcomes physical barriers that may limit physical capacity in ordinary circumstances.

In Tibet, I witness action of two opposing forces; 1. Physical Force used by Red China to oppress Tibetans, and 2. Resistance Force used by Tibetans to counteract Oppression. To have Balance and Equilibrium in Tibet, we need both interacting forces to be of same power. I witness pain, suffering, and misery in the lives of Tibetan people as their power of Resistance is not equal to Force of Oppression applied by Red China. This tragic situation in Tibet evokes instinct of Compassion directing me to take action to find Balance and Equilibrium in Tibet. I am seeking Force of Compassion to physically uplift Red Army from Tibet. When this brutalizing force is evicted from Tibet, there will be Peace, Harmony, and Tranquility in Tibet as Balance and Equilibrium will be restored.

Dalai Lama’s American doctor wants more compassion in medicine

October 27, 2015 at 6:35 PM EDT

Dalai Lama’s doctor wants more compassion in medicine. Before he was a personal physician to the Dalai Lama, Dr. Barry Kerzin never imagined that a professional trip to Tibet would lead him down a decades-long path studying Buddhism and meditation. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro talks to Kerzin in India about his feeling that compassion and empathy are essential to medical training. 2015-10-27

TRANSCRIPT

JUDY WOODRUFF: But, first, the Dalai Lama was supposed to arrive in the U.S. yesterday. He didn’t, because doctors at the Mayo Clinic advised him to rest.
But advice flows both ways in the relationship between the Buddhist leader and his personal physician.

Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports on how the Dalai Lama inspired a California native to move halfway across the world and bring compassion back into a medical care system dominated by technology.

The report is part of Fred’s ongoing series Agents for Change.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Sixty-eight-year-old California native Barry Kerzin began his career as a professor of family medicine at the University of Washington. He never dreamed it would lead to a pro bono house calls thousands of miles away in Tibetan.

DR. BARRY KERZIN, Buddhist Scholar: I keep pinching myself, Fred. I don’t know.
(LAUGHTER)

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: He first arrived here after hearing that the Dalai Lama had wanted a Western physician to train traditional Tibetan doctors in modern research methods.

DR. BARRY KERZIN, Buddhist Scholar: We did a research study. And we used that pedagogically to train the local Tibetan medicine doctors how to do the research.
And then I got more involved with Buddhism. I had already been very interested. I got more involved with meditation and study. And I ended up extending my stay. And that’s happened again and again and here I am 27 years.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: He came to India from a life punctuated by pain and loss, at 11, a near fatal brain abscess that required extensive surgery and left a permanent lump on his skull. His mother died young, and a few years later so did his wife, only in her mid-30s, both from cancer.
Buddhism became a sanctuary under the tutelage of the Dalai Lama, who told him to stay connected to the world.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: He always encouraged me to keep my credentials and to continue practicing medicine. Don’t just do the wisdom. Also do the love and the compassion. In fact, do them 50/50. Those were his words.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Scholarship in Buddhism led to his ordination as a monk, while meditation has been a path to inner peace and happiness. And that’s translated into empathy, he said.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: It’s slowly moved me along to be more compassionate, to be less selfish.
I don’t get angry very much anymore. I used to be highly competitive. I’m still somewhat competitive, but it’s more now personal, not at the expense of somebody else. I think it’s a combination of meditation and also, as His Holiness calls, emotional hygiene.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Kerzin, who now serves as a personal physician to the Dalai Lama, has taken the spiritual leader’s gospel of emotional hygiene and compassion to medical practitioners around the world.
DALAI LAMA (through interpreter): He is my messenger. Go to Japan, go to Mongolia.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: And full circle to America.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: It’s lovely to be at Stanford.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: A few years ago, a prestigious lecture at a top U.S. medical school wouldn’t have been given by a man who left American medicine and many stunned colleagues for a very different world, where he doesn’t own a house, car or refrigerator.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: I think initially they thought I went off the deep end. What are you doing living in India? Come on. You know, how can you stay healthy? Why don’t you come back? And you could have a very good life. You could have a very good academic life in medicine. You could have a very comfortable economic life. It’s ridiculous what you’re doing.
So let’s meditate, OK?

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: But on this day, they were listening, even meditating, with him. Kerzin says meditation helps one focus on the now, the present. You tune out the past and all your regrets, tune out planning and worry about the future. It’s taken years, he says, but gotten results, scientifically measured results.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: This is in Madison, the University of Wisconsin, and they’re researching my brain.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Kerzin has been part of a series of studies into the impact of meditation on the brain.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: What they found were changes in the prefrontal cortex. This area is called the executive function area, the PFC, and it helps with things like planning, reasoning, imagination, empathy, to feel as — like another person is feeling. So these areas were enhanced, both anatomically and functionally, in long-term meditators.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Kerzin’s host at Stanford said there’s an epidemic of dissatisfaction among American doctors today, which likely makes them more receptive to a message like Kerzin’s.

DR. ABRAHAM VERGHESE, Stanford School of Medicine: Fifty percent of them, they say in some studies, are unhappy. And that tells you this is not an individual problem. This is a systemic problem.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Dr. Abraham Verghese, well-known author and professor at Stanford, says technology, for all its benefits, leaves doctors little time for the compassion that drew most of them to medicine.

DR. ABRAHAM VERGHESE: There was a chilling paper from the “Journal of Emergency Medicine” titled “4,000 Clicks,” suggesting that an emergency medicine physician does 4,000 clicks a day and spends the great majority of their time on the computer, very little percentage of the time actually with patients, and similar studies that are coming out suggesting the same about residents and medical students and physicians in other specialties.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Kerzin says he wants to make compassion as integral to medical education as physiology or biochemistry, more partnerships between scientists and Buddhist scholars, a reconciliation of very different perspectives on life that he said he’s made internally.

DR. BARRY KERZIN: I used to say I wear two hats. So, sometimes, this is the medical hat, this is the Buddhist hat. But I don’t say that any more.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Today, he says he wears one scientist monk hat.

TIBET EQUILIBRIUM – RESISTANCE IS A DAILY ROUTINE

TIBET EQUILIBRIUM – RESISTANCE IS A DAILY ROUTINE

**TIBET EQUILIBRIUM – RESISTANCE IS DAILY ROUTINE**

Tibet’s awareness of military occupation generates a natural response called ‘RESISTANCE’. However, the strategy of Resistance demands recognition of external realities. Tibet’s Enemy is using overwhelming physical force to suppress any sign of Resistance. Tibet needs to use the tactic called Patience and Perseverance while Enemy wears herself out pursuing a course of self-destruction. I ask Tibet to practice Resistance as a Daily Routine. Red China’s Policy of Subjugation, and Tibet’s response of Resistance when practiced with Patience and Perseverance will maintain balance and equilibrium in the lives of Tibetans who may not have ability to confront Occupation using physical force. Tibet need to stay calm and unperturbed for Beijing is Doomed.

The Dalai Lama’s Daily Routine and Information Diet

“To understand the Dalai Lama … perhaps it’s most useful to see him as a doctor of the soul.”

By Maria Popova

I think a great deal about the difference between routine and ritual as a special case of our more general and generally trying quest for balance — ripped asunder by the contrary longings for control and whimsy, we routinize daily life in order to make its inherent chaos more manageable, then ritualize it in order to imbue its mundanity with magic, which by definition violates the predictable laws of the universe. I suspect that our voracious appetite for the daily routines of cultural icons is fueled by a deep yearning to glean some insight on and practical help with this impossible balancing act, from people who seem to have mastered it well enough to lead happy, productive, creatively fruitful, and altogether remarkable lives.
Perhaps the most unexpected yet brilliant master of this elusive modern equilibrium is the Dalai Lama.

**TIBET EQUILIBRIUM – RESISTANCE IS DAILY ROUTINE.The Dalai Lama by Manuel Bauer**

In the altogether magnificent The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama(public library), writer Pico Iyer — who has known the beloved spiritual leader since adolescence and, by the time he began writing this book, had visited him in his exile home for nearly thirty years — describes how the Dalai Lama begins each day:

[By] nine a.m. … the Dalai Lama himself had already been up for more than five hours, awakening, as he always does, at three-thirty a.m., to spend his first four hours of the day meditating on the roots of compassion and what he can do for his people, the “Chinese brothers and sisters” who are holding his people hostage, and the rest of us, while also preparing himself for his death.

Compressed into this humble and humbling morning routine is the entire Buddhist belief that life is a “joyful participation in a world of sorrows.” This daily rite of body and spirit is the building block of the Dalai Lama’s quiet and steadfast mission to, as Iyer elegantly puts it, “explore the world closely, so as to make out its laws, and then to see what can and cannot be done within those laws.” He writes:

To understand the Dalai Lama … especially if (as in my case) you come from some other tradition, perhaps it’s most useful to see him as a doctor of the soul.

As someone deeply invested in the crucial difference between information and wisdom, I was particularly fascinated by the Dalai Lama’s information diet — that is, what daily facts he chooses to fuse with ancient wisdom in his dedication to unraveling the nature of reality and making use of it in fortifying the soul. Iyer writes:

As a longtime student of real life, ruler of his people before the age of five, he listens every morning to the Voice of America, to the BBC East Asian broadcast, to the BBC World Service — even while meditating — and devours Time and Newsweek and many other news sources (I think of how the Buddha is often depicted with one hand touching the earth, in what Buddhists call the “witnessing the earth” gesture).

And yet the Dalai Lama approaches his information diet like he does his meditation — as a deliberate practice. In that sense, “meaning diet” is far more accurate a term, for he is remarkably deliberate about which aspects of the Information Age to fold into his meaning-making mission and which to sidestep. He chooses, for instance, to avoid one of the most perilous byproducts of our era, which Susan Sontag presaged in 1977 in her famous admonition against “aesthetic consumerism.” Iyer writes:

In the Age of the Image, when screens are so much our rulers, anyone who wishes to grab our attention — and to hold it — does so by converting himself into a “human-interest story,” translating his life into a kind of fable…. Those who long to be entrusted with real consequences in our lives acquire that power increasingly by presenting themselves as fairy tales.

The Dalai Lama, by nature and training, is in the odd position of trying to do the opposite: he comes to us to tell us that he is real, as real as his country, bleeding and oppressed, and that he lives in a world far more complex than a two-year-old’s cries of “Good Tibetans, bad Chinese” (the Dalai Lama would more likely say, “Potentially good Tibetans, potentially good Chinese”).

At the heart of this message is a larger testament to the most essential characteristic of reality — something Alan Watts, who began popularizing Eastern philosophy in the West when the Dalai Lama was still a teenager, captured memorably when he wrote: “Life and Reality are not things you can have for yourself unless you accord them to all others.”

Indeed, contacting this interconnectedness of all beings and all lives is the very impetus for the Dalai Lama’s morning routine and his information diet — a beautiful assurance that beneath our obsession with routine and ritual lies a deeper, more expansive longing for meaning, for orienting ourselves in this vibrating universe of interconnectedness that we call reality.

Iyer articulates this elegantly:

Imagine, for a moment, that you are a body (not difficult to do, since in part that is what you are). You have eyes, ears, legs, hands, and, if you are lucky, all of them are in good working order. You never, if you are sane, think of your finger as an independent entity (though you may occasionally say, “My toe seems to have a mind of its own”). You are never, in your right mind, moved to hit your own foot, let alone sever it; the only loser in such an exercise would be yourself.
[…]
This is all simplistic to the point of self-evidence. But when the Buddhist speaks of “interdependence” (the central Buddhist concept of shunyata, often rendered as “emptiness,” the Dalai Lama has translated as “empty of independent identity”), all he is really saying is that we are all a part of a single body, and to think of “I” and “you,” of the right hand’s interests being different from the left’s, makes no sense at all. It’s crazy to impede your neighbor, because he is as intrinsic to your welfare as your thumb is. It’s almost absurd to say you wish to get ahead of your colleague — it’s like your right toe saying it longs to be ahead of the left.
[…]
Perhaps it’s not surprising, then, that the Fourteenth Dalai Lama is famous for his laughter, the sudden eruption of almost helpless giggles or a high-pitched shaking of the body. Seen from the vantage point of one who meditates several hours a day, traveling to the place where everything is connected, much of our fascination with surface or with division seems truly hilarious… Talking about friends and enemies is a little like holding on to this hair on your arm and claiming it as a friend, because you see it daily, and calling the hair on your back an enemy, because you never see it at all. Talking of how you are a Buddhist and therefore opposed to the Judeo-Christian teaching is like solemnly asserting that your right nostril is the source of everything good, and your left nostril a place of evil. The doctrine of “universal responsibility” is not only universal but obvious: it’s like saying that every part of us longs for our legs, our eyes, our lungs to be healthy. If one part suffers, we all do.

Suddenly, the Dalai Lama’s morning routine and his information diet are revealed in a whole new light of meaning — they are a form of self-empowerment in the journey toward shedding self-centeredness. (Lest we forget, as another great Buddhist teacher has put it, “you first need to have an ego in order to be aware that it doesn’t exist.”)

Iyer writes:

Buddhists do not (or need not) seek solutions from outside themselves, but merely awakening within; the minute we come to see that our destinies or well-being are all mutually dependent, they say, the rest naturally follows (meditation sometimes seems the way we come to this perception, reasoning the way we consolidate it). If you believe this, human life offers you many more belly laughs daily, as the Dalai Lama exemplifies.

And there, with a good-humored smirk, Iyer reminds us that his perspective isn’t perched on a holier-than-thou branch in the tree of life but grounded in his reality as a Westerner and a writer, and thus a creature of ego trying to learn the very lesson he is channeling:

Why despair, indeed, when you can change the world at any moment by choosing to see that the person who gave your last book a bad review is as intrinsic to your well-being as your thumb is?

The Open Road is an illuminating read in its totality, propelled by Iyer’s deeply pleasurable prose. Complement it with Iyer on what Leonard Cohen knows about the art of stillness and his superb On Being conversation with Krista Tippett, in which he recounts the experience of shadowing the Dalai Lama in order to capture his inner light:

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

On Monday, October 26, 2015 His Holiness the Dalai Lama is set to receive National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal in Philadelphia. A moment has arrived in Tibetan history when all Tibetans will demand in no uncertain terms, “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.” There is no fulfillment in Tibetan’s life without Freedom.

Dalai Lama Set To Receive NCC’s Liberty Medal, Although Not In Person

By Molly Daly
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – National Constitution Center staffers are getting ready for Monday night’s Liberty Medal Ceremony, although this year’s recipient, the Dalai Lama, won’t be able to accept the honor in person because of health concerns.

After a performance by the all-boy Tibetan Children’s Choir, there’ll be remarks from National Constitution Center CEO Jeffrey Rosen, Mayor Nutter, and Richard Gere — a longtime friend of the Dalai Lama and Delaware Valley native.

“He’s always glad to come back to Philadelphia for a reason, and I think this is a reason that’s deeply personal to Richard Gere as a person, and I think it’s something that he’s going to feel very honored to be participating in,” says the National Constitution Center’s Jenny Parker.

There’ll also be a moving video tribute to His Holiness. Parker says the man of the hour is sending a video of his own:
“One of the things that you might hear in the Dalai Lama’s remarks is the idea that human beings are naturally inclined towards compassion and kindness, but the necessity of liberty and freedom in realizing that full potential is essential.”

Parker says that although His Holiness won’t be there physically, “I think the spirit will be very evident, and will be felt by all the attendees.”
The Dalai Lama is sending two representatives to accept the Liberty Medal on his behalf.

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – GLOBAL WARMING – CLIMATE ACTION

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – GLOBAL WARMING – CLIMATE ACTION

Red China’s use of Coal as fuel is causing global warming and climate change is severe across Tibetan plateau. Red China has to reduce use of fossil fuels and restrict emission of greenhouse gases. About 2.25 million Tibetans live on the Tibetan plateau mostly leading a pastoral life. These Tibetan nomads are forced to live in ‘model villages’ where livestock-rearing as an economic activity is impossible. Tibetans need Freedom to live their lives in harmony with nature. Red China’s attempts to seed clouds with Silver Iodide to promote precipitation will not address the problem caused by industrial activity using dirty fossil fuels.

DALAI LAMA WARNS OVER GLOBAL WARMING ON ‘ROOF OF WORLD’
October 20, 2015 5:48 AM

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – GLOBAL WARMING – CLIMATE ACTION. THE DALAI LAMA ALERTED GLOBAL COMMUNITY ON IMPORTANCE OF TIBET IN UNDERSTANDING PROBLEMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND PROTECTING GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.

New Delhi (AFP) – The Dalai Lama on Tuesday urged the world to protect Tibet from global warming, saying his Himalayan homeland was crucial to the health of the world.

The exiled spiritual leader called on the younger generation to play a more active role in fighting climate change as he launched a campaign by the Tibetan leadership ahead of crunch talks beginning in Paris next month.

“This blue planet is our only home and Tibet is its roof. As vital as the Arctic and Antarctic, it is the Third Pole,” he said in a statement.

“The Tibetan Plateau needs to be protected, not just for Tibetans but for the environmental health and sustainability of the entire world.”
Tibet, the world’s largest and highest plateau, is often called the “third pole” because it stores more freshwater in the form of glaciers than any region on Earth, except the North and South poles.

The region is warming at twice the global average, leading to accelerated melting of tens of thousands of glaciers that feed seven major rivers flowing through India, Bangladesh, China and Southeast Asia.

Tibet, the world’s largest and highest plateau, is often called the “third pole.”

China, which has ruled Tibet since 1951 after sending troops into the Himalayan region, has already committed to reduce emissions as a key step toward a global climate pact before the end of the year.

But exiled Tibetan leaders say the Himalayan region must be central to climate change negotiations due to open in Paris on November 30.
They want the meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to recognise the “global significance of the Tibetan Plateau”.

“Tibetans must have a say on what happens to their land,” said Lobsang Sangay, the head of the exiled Tibetan government, which is based in the northern Indian town of Dharamshala.
“Tibetan nomads are the expert custodians of the alpine pastures and their knowledge and experience must be recognised.”

China has resettled thousands of Tibetan herdsmen in permanent villages and restricted grazing as it tries to protect the fragile ecosystem from increasing desertification.
But for many, resettlement in villages has meant an end to a traditional nomadic life that goes back centuries.

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – RED CHINA HAS NO REDEEMER

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – RED CHINA HAS NO REDEEMER

The proud Han Chinese people may choose to ‘love’ or ‘hate’ United States of America. The issue is not that of bilateral US – China relations. Red China would be paid back with the very weapons she used on others. Just as she destroyed Tibet, she would be destroyed. Red China is exhausting herself for nothing. She dominated Tibet but she is wearing herself out. Red China is moving toward her own logical end of self-destruction.

The Evil Red Empire is destined to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed for Red China has not repented and her evil actions are not forgiven.

Chinese people may love or hate America. But, Red China has no choice. Red China has no Redeemer. No one can save Red China for she pursued a hazardous course of action to the brink of catastrophe. Beijing is Doomed.

MURONG XUECUN

HONG KONG On the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, a major Chinese television network broadcast a documentary that investigated how Chinese people viewed not only those pivotal events but America itself. One man, referring to the slaughter of thousands of Americans, declared, What a beautiful job! Another said, They should give America more of the same. And a student standing in Tiananmen Square said he approved of the attacks because the United States was a bully and a hegemon. Later in the film, the young man in Tiananmen Square went on to describe his plans for the future. He said that he loved America and that he was about to go there to study. If I don’t have to come back, then I won’t, he said.
The Chinese view of America has not changed since this aired four years ago.

On Sept. 3, President Xi Jinping orchestrated an extravagant military parade in Beijing. An acquaintance from my schooldays was so excited by the spectacle, the disciplined troop formations, the advanced equipment that he wrote in a post on WeChat that he could hardly sleep that night. He added that his friends should guard against America because American imperialism still wants to destroy us.

Only a few months earlier, this same man had taken his daughter on a trip to Boston, where he reported enthusiastically on social media about visiting Harvard University and eating a huge lobster. He also pledged to send his daughter to America. We should help our next generation live in a place without pollution, without recycled cooking oil and poisoned milk powder, he wrote.

The young man in Tiananmen Square and my former schoolmate are hardly alone in holding contrasting, schizophrenic views of America. For many Chinese people, the depth of their admiration for the American system and way of life is matched only by their animosity toward the country.

According to a Pew Research Center survey released earlier this year, only 44 percent of Chinese people have a favorable view of America the 33rd lowest approval rating out of 40 countries surveyed, and far lower than the 84 percent reported for South Korea and the 68 percent for Japan.

The Chinese hostility to America is first and foremost the result of government propaganda. Because of censorship, many people lack a basic understanding of life outside China. And although in the past few decades the Chinese government has been careful to avoid a real clash with America, Beijing’s domestic propaganda has never ceased presenting it as the enemy. Stir in 60 years of uninterrupted anti-American schooling, and it is hardly surprising that one result is an irrational hostility toward the United States.

Another Chinese documentary, Silent Contest, from 2013, highlighted one of the major reasons for castigating America as the eternal enemy. In the film, it was said that America’s key strategic objective is to dominate and break up China. You hear a lot of this kind of talk from Chinese officials. Like most despotic governments, the Chinese leadership likes to play the part of defender of the people a role that necessitates the existence of a powerful external enemy. A strong and hostile America is an important source of the legitimacy for Communist Party rule.

But in our globalized age, where there are myriad, multilayered interactions between countries, it is impossible for our government to fully stop people from seeking to research, study and understand the United States.

American films, TV shows and products, and many other aspects of American culture remain influential in everyday Chinese life. On the Internet, Chinese netizens loudly praise America’s system of government and spontaneously rally to America’s defense in global affairs. Some people like to compare America and Russia in recent years Beijing has been cozying up to Moscow and analyze the behavior of the two countries toward China, wondering aloud if we have chosen the right friend.

Many of the same people who are suspicious of America’s intentions are the ones who harbor the most fervent hopes of going to live there. In everyday conversation these people might be ashamed of China’s human rights record and our political situation, or they may talk about how they want to buy an apartment in New York to find a secure place for their money, but when a foreign government or organization (from no matter what country) criticizes the Chinese system, they become defensive. In the case of the United States, they will often fire off a list of America’s failings, such as racism and gun violence.

A mixed view of extremes about America is not uncommon around the world, but what makes it so striking here is that many Chinese government officials and elites seem to hold these contrasting views.
Like the young man in the documentary in Tiananmen Square, the children of many high officials go to America to study, to settle down, to invest in property. For years, the children and grandchildren of the Communist Party elite have been attending America’s top universities. Perhaps most famously, President Xi Jinping’s daughter enrolled at Harvard in 2010.

Many Chinese people can’t help but notice that the elites have no problem taking advantage of what America has to offer, but when they are preaching to the public, they seem to have another view.

Government leaders can’t be relied on to deliver better bilateral relationships, especially not the Chinese government. But its encouraging that, in the shadow of censorship, some ordinary Chinese people are opening their eyes and looking more realistically at our country and its place in the world. American leaders should realize that the best hope for improved Chinese-American relations resides with these Chinese people.

Nevertheless, as long as the Chinese government pretends to be the defender of the people against the United States and persists in its negative propaganda, Chinese-American relations will have a long way to go.

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – SAVING TIBET’S CULTURE

Tibet’s culture flourished for Tibet existed for centuries in serene, unperturbed condition and Tibetans enjoyed a sense of natural freedom and pursued an independent style of living. Red China’s military occupation since 1950s poses a huge challenge and Tibetans are coping with this problem with much patience and hope of finding a peaceful resolution with or without dialogue.

DHARMSALA, India (AP) — The Dalai Lama said Saturday he considered it most important to preserve the Buddhist culture that has helped the Tibetan people live together even in exile.
“Our values have helped us Tibetans live together as a people,” the 80-year-old spiritual leader said at his first public event after returning last week from a medical check-up in the U.S. “So after coming into exile, I have considered it most important to preserve this rich and profound culture that we have.”

Many Tibetans fear that their culture may not endure for long and may weaken after the Dalai Lama is gone.
Carrying white silk scarves, dozens of school children in traditional Tibetan costumes welcomed the Dalai Lama to the event, the 10th anniversary of the opening of a Tibetan school in Dharmsala, the Tibetan government-in-exile’s headquarters in northern India.

He also said he regretted that some people were using religion to harm others and said he advocated education of secular values.

Last week, the Dalai Lama said he had a thorough medical checkup at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, U.S.A., and was in “excellent condition.” Though advised rest by doctors, the Dalai Lama got out of his car and walked nearly 100 meters (yards) to the school.

His followers lined the path with incense sticks and flowers. The Dalai Lama sat on a chair on a raised platform while others settled on cushions on the floor in a show of respect to him.
The Dalai Lama fled across the Himalayas into India after a failed uprising in Tibet in 1959. Beijing accuses him of seeking to separate Tibet from China. But the Dalai Lama says he simply wants a high degree of autonomy under Chinese rule.

US JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARTIN DEMPSEY BRIEFED NEWS MEDIA AND FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE RED DRAGON’S INTENTIONS IN BERING SEA AND IN ARCTIC OCEAN.

US General Martin Dempsey assured news media that these Chinese navy vessels do not pose any threat to United States while they use international waters in close proximity to Alaska. Some news analysts have speculated that Red China is flexing her muscles to retaliate for US naval presence in South China Sea. In my view, Red Dragon covets Arctic to exploit its vast energy resources. Red China’s policy of Economic Expansionism aims at controlling world’s natural resources for her own economic advantage and to dominate nations of the world.

CHINESE NAVY SHIPS SEEN OFF US COAST

BBC NEWS

red navy yancheng missile frigate1 — **RED CHINA – RED ALERT – RED DRAGON COVETS ARCTIC: Red Navy Missile Frigate Yancheng.**

Five Chinese naval ships are currently positioned in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, US officials confirm.
It is believed to be the first time Chinese military vessels have been seen operating in the area.

Officials say they have been monitoring the ships’ activities, but said they were operating in international waters.
In recent years Beijing has taken a more assertive stance on maritime territorial disputes with Japan and South East Asian nations.

‘Not threatening’

US defence officials have spotted three Chinese combat ships, a supply vessel and an amphibious ship moving toward the Aleutian Islands which is split between Russian and US control, according to the Wall Street Journal.

They were seen not far from where US President Barack Obama is visiting as part of his three-day tour of Alaska to raise awareness of the effects of climate change on the state.

“We are aware of the five People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) ships in the Bering Sea. This is the first time we have observed PLAN ships in the Bering Sea,” US defence department spokesman Bill Urban told the BBC on Wednesday.

“We respect the freedom of all nations to operate military vessels in international waters in accordance with international law,” he said.

Another official told the Wall Street Journal the defence department did not “characterise anything they’re doing as threatening”.
Peter Dutton, director of the China Maritime Studies Institute, described it as a big advancement in the way Chinese ships operate.

But, he tells the BBC, “it’s not a surprise in a sense that the Chinese have been continually expanding their presence in Eurasia”.

“They have conducted exercises with Russia in the Mediterranean and in the Sea of Japan… they have interest in the northern sea route so to see them off the coast of Alaska is the next evolutionary step along these lines.”

RED CHINA - RED ALERT - RED DRAGON COVETS ARCTIC: WHAT ARE RED CHINA'S TRUE INTENTIONS IN BERING SEA??? — **RED CHINA – RED ALERT – RED DRAGON COVETS ARCTIC: WHAT ARE RED CHINA’S TRUE INTENTIONS IN BERING SEA???**

Patrick Cronin, of the Center for a New American Security, agrees, saying: “It’s part of a pattern over the last six years or so of China getting tougher in maritime space.”
China wants to rewrite international maritime laws so that they are more favourable to its own interests, particularly in the South China Sea where rival countries are wrangling over territory, Mr Cronin adds.

China this year boosted its defence spending in a bid to modernise its forces, including developing stealth fighters and anti-satellite missiles, a move that has unnerved the US and its allies in the Asia-Pacific region.

President Xi Jinping will on Thursday preside over an enormous military parade in Beijing in commemoration of China’s World War Two victory over Japan 70 years ago.

RED CHINA – RED ALERT – MARITIME EXPANSIONISM

During the US President Barack Obama’s three-day visit to Alaska, Red China dispatched five of its naval vessels to Bering Sea. Red China became a permanent observer to the Arctic Council in 2013. Arctic Council’s members are eight Arctic States, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Russia, and the United States. Red China is interested in Arctic region’s vast energy reserves. This demonstration of Red China’s naval power is a clear indication of Red China’s assertion of her right to drill for Oil and Gas in Arctic Sea with or without consent of Arctic Council.

Chinese Navy Ships Spotted Off Alaska During Obama Visit

U.S. President Barack Obama (L) tours the Kotzebue Shore Avenue Project, an effort to protect against rising sea levels in Kotzebue, Alaska Sept. 2, 2015.

WILLIAM GALLO, VICTOR BEATTLE

Last updated on: September 03, 2015 7:31 AM

Five Chinese Navy ships have been spotted in international waters off the coast of Alaska, according to U.S. officials, in what many analysts see as a fresh attempt by Beijing to project military power far from its shores.

Pentagon spokesman Bill Urban on Wednesday confirmed the presence of the five vessels, noting that it is the first time the U.S. has observed Chinese Navy ships in the Bering Sea.
“We respect the freedom of all nations to operate military vessels in international waters in accordance with international law,” he said, adding that the U.S. military is tracking the ships.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said U.S. officials have not detected any “threatening activities” by the ships, but said the intent of their presence was “still unclear.”
The Chinese ship deployment came as President Barack Obama visited Alaska to build support for his environmental policies to combat climate change.

The island village of Kivalina, an Alaska Native community of 400 people the White House chose to highlight as a community at risk from rising sea levels, can be seen from Air Force One as U.S. President Barack Obama flies to Kotzebue, Alaska Sept. 2, 201

Coincidence?

But it is not likely Beijing planned the deployment to coincide with Obama’s trip, said Ralph Cossa with the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“I would guess that their presence during Obama’s visit is coincidental more than deliberate. Because deployment like that is normally planned months in advance and I don’t think anyone knew Obama was going to be in Alaska until a few days ago,” Cossa told VOA.

However, the presence of the ships is meant to send a message to the U.S., he added.
“What it’s saying is that at some point the Chinese are going to be just as obnoxious as we are when it comes to sailing around in international waters close to the other country’s shores, and we should get used to it,” he said.

The U.S. military has numerous bases in Asia and regularly conducts various air-and-ship-based activities off China’s coasts in international waters.
“And China has repeatedly expressed its concerns about that,” noted VOA Beijing correspondent William Ide. “It feels like China’s trying to say if you’re going to continue to do this, we’re going to do the same.”

U.S. officials say the Chinese flotilla is made up of three surface warfare ships, one amphibious assault ship, and a replenishment vessel.
If that is the case, the deployment represents less of a threat, and more of a projection of power, according to Scott Harold of the RAND Corporation.

“A replenishment vessel says to me this is in part a demonstration of its capacity to operate far from their shores,” Harold told VOA.

“And an amphibious assault vessel would be absurd as a threat. No one is going to invade the United States by ground or by sea, much less are they going to do it in Alaska. But it is a symbol of China’s ability to project naval or amphibious forces at some distance from China,” he said.

FILE – Chinese navy warships arrive at the seaport of Port Sudan.

Near-Arctic power

The deployment fits a larger pattern by China’s navy, which is rapidly modernizing and attempting to venture out well beyond its shores.
And even though it does not border the resource-rich polar region, Beijing has made it clear that it wants to be regarded internationally as a “near-Arctic power,” said Harold.

“Chinese leaders have clearly recognized that the resources that may be in the Arctic, the sea lines of communications that transit through the Arctic passageways that may open up as the ice melts are of tremendous potential value to China,” he said.

Underscoring the strategic importance of the Arctic, Obama this week used his Alaskan tour to push lawmakers to speed up construction of a new heavy icebreaker ship that can navigate the region year-round.

The U.S. has just two functioning icebreakers, while Russia has 41. China unveiled its own icebreaker vessel in 2012, and plans to finish construction of another by 2016.

ARCTIC DRAWS INTERNATIONAL COMPETITON FOR OIL

A new geopolitical “Great Game” is underway in earth’s northernmost region, the Arctic, where Russia has claimed a large area for resource development and President Barack Obama recently approved Shell Oil Company’s test-drilling project in an area under U.S. control. Greg Flakus reports.

CHINA’S FATE IS SEALED – BEIJING IS DOOMED

Red China after her act of military aggression in 1950 and occupying Tibet had several opportunities to make amends to her evil actions and return to peaceful relationships with her neighbors. By choosing to use evil force, Red China has sealed her own fate. She has opted to “Live by the Sword, surely, she will Die by the Sword.” What she conquered by Sword, she will lose by Sword.

China denies all universal rights to Tibet even after 50 years of rule (Part-II)

Sep 1, 8:27 am

HONG KONG, Sep.1(ANI): Its been more than 50 years since China established complete control over Tibet and in this period China has institutionalised a system of two policies – one for the Chinese people and another for the Tibetans.
Hong Kong based Tibet watchers who on the condition of not being identified for fear of Chinese reprisal outlined a series of instances which prove that China has treated Tibet as nothing more than a Colony and as a strategic buffer against India.
Experts point to the fact that China has accepted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as a member of the United Nations.
The declaration forms the basic charter of rights for all global citizens. However over the past many decades, adherence to the UDHR has been minimal at best as far as Tibet is concerned.
When it comes to Tibet and Tibetans, they count for less than an average Han Chinese citizen, and actually don’t enjoy the rights they are entitled to as per international laws.
The UDHR calls on governments to grant every human being these rights, but the reality is that not one of the UDHR rights is extended to the people of Tibet.
For example Article 16 of the UDHR says that men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to create a family. They are also entitled to equal rights as when to marry, how to manage their marriage, and to decide when to dissolve it.
The family, according to the UDHR, is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state.
But, when comes to Tibet, since 1980, China has passed a series of measures related to marriage laws. Beijing has stopped the practice of polygamy in TAR, and has been actively promoting the mixed marriages between Tibetans and Han Chinese.
The local administration has reportedly announced offers of special treatment to children born of such unions. Such incentives are publicised heavily by the state media.
Tibetan poet Tsering Woeser says that “authorities use it as a tool”, and compared it to the Japanese police being encouraged to marry local women during Japan’s occupation of Taiwan.
On the issue of owning property, the UDHR says no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his or property, but in China-dominated TAR seizure of farmland for industry is arbitrary and common.
Joel Brinkley of the Chicago Tribune adds that “China has evicted more than 400,000 Tibetans from their homelands” over the past few years, and believes that the intent behind this is to exploit Tibet’s vast mineral and water resources.
The UDHR’s Article 18 talks about the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, but evidence has surfaced of the People’s Armed Police firing on unarmed Tibetan protestors calling for a semblance of religious freedom.
During the Cultural Revolution, most, if not all, Tibetan monasteries (97 percent were actually closed down) were reportedly ransacked by the Communist Party.
Currently, every monastery and nunnery is constantly under surveillance and subject to random checks by Communist Party officials. So-called Monastery Management Committees have been set up in increasing numbers to keep check on the activities of monks and nuns, and to control their numbers, particularly in the largest ones of Drepung, Sera and Ganden.
Such checks extend to night raids for images of the Dalai Lama and other such “subversive” objects.
For example, recently, a 13-year old nun, after participating in a peaceful protest, was held, interrogated, beaten and tortured.
She was sentenced for singing nationalist songs – which does not exactly exemplify “freedom of thought”.
On the issue of everyone having the right to express their opinion without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers, which is enjoined in Article 19 of the UDHR, China routinely cuts off internet and phone-messaging services after each incident of self-immolation in TAR, of which there have been over 140 in the past six years.
As for the right to expression and freedom of opinion, the armed crackdowns, the surprise arrests and the extrajudicial killings are indicative of a general intolerance to such niceties.
The right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association as enshrined in Article 20, is regularly stamped out and quickly, with violence if required.
Tibet and the Tibetan people have been compelled to identify with the People’s Republic of China. In April 2015, the Communist Party demanded that all Buddhist monasteries display the Chinese flag, or face punishment.
This latest move is part of a drive to make places of worship ‘secularised’, and in line with Beijing’s ideologues.
Article 21 of the UDHR allows every individual to take part in the government of his or her country, directly, or through freely chosen representatives, but in the case of China, democracy does not exist in the sense that it is understood the world over.
The political representatives of the Chinese are not freely chosen, but are designated by the Communist Party. As such, not only Tibetans, but all citizens under the authority of the People’s Republic of China have no right of participation in their governance.
Recently, China arrested ten Tibetans for protesting against the denial of welfare benefits to their community.
Tibetans have been subject to “city moats” which prevent their access to their own cities.
The ‘will of the people’ is a concept almost entirely alien to any Chinese citizen in conceptual and real terms.
The right to social security, as enshrined in Article 22 of the UDHR, which calls for realisation both through national effort and international co-operation, is used to violate the rights of Tibetans further.
Article 23 says everyone has the right to work, and to have free choice of employment, but in Chinese – ruled TAR, the resettlement policy violates this article, depriving Tibetan nomads of their free choice of employment.
As far as just conditions of work, Tibetans are forced to learn Chinese in order to access any gainful employment, even as a construction worker.
Tibetans claim that Chinese workers receive higher wages; the loss of jobs due to political activities is also very common.
Even China admits that there is no minimum wage in the TAR.
The right to rest and leisure, as well as reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay does not exist in Chinese-ruled TAR.
Here, re-education is promoted through labor camps, and there is no semblance of worker’s rights to be defended here.
Holidays, too, are out of the question, and there is no reasonable limitation on working hours.
What about the right to an adequate standard of living, as enshrined in Article 25 of the UDHR?
It simply does not exist in TAR. Pulmonary diseases are the most widespread affliction in Tibet. While prefectural and city hospitals are adequate in responding to such illnesses, there is very little recourse to proper medical care for nomadic tribes as village and township hospitals are extremely poor.
The medical system is “clearly inequitable.” Distances across Tibet have also led to Chinese healthcare works failing to immunize children as “they don’t want to travel so far.”
Access to medication is clearly segregated: Tibetan doctors are unable to purchase drugs from pharmaceutical companies, as only Chinese government workers and ‘officials with connections to the Chinese’ are given access.
While officially, China’s ‘One Child’ policy does not extend to Tibetans as a community, in practice, birth control has actively been promoted in the TAR.
Sterilisation can take place on the basis of volunteering or through forced abortions, which leaves a very chilling picture of healthcare in TAR.
Article 26 of the UDHR talks of the right to education and the right to have free education at the elementary and fundamental stages, but in TAR, schooling is compulsory until secondary education, nominally “bilingually”, and guidelines are applied arbitrarily.
The emphasis is on creating Chinese-medium schools in Tibetan areas despite the fact that Tibetan students want to be taught in Tibetan and learn more effectively when they are.
Tibet has six institutes of higher learning, but only 60 percent of those selected for university in TAR are ethnic Tibetans, compared to the 97 percent share of population they reportedly enjoy.
This demonstrates the fact that access to higher education is highly coloured by discriminatory policies. Indeed, state funds go disproportionally to schools where Chinese students predominate.
Chinese authorities in TAR are on record, as saying that the purpose of giving an education to Tibetans is to see whether they are “opposed to or turn their hearts to the Dalai Clique and in whether they are loyal to or do not care about our great motherland and the great socialist cause..”
China does not promote tolerance, but actively seeks to destroy it in TAR.
The right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community as enjoined in the UDHR’s Article 27, is absent in TAR. The Chinese, admittedly, are very happy to impose limits on Tibetan intellectual production.
Insofar as duties to the community are concerned, while keenly desired by the Tibetan people, is trounced upon, and all vestiges of rights for the minorities are virtually non-existent.
China has a long history of using the justifications of human rights and economic prosperity “for all” to oppress those in Tibet, and nothing seems likely to change.
The recently concluded 6th Tibet Work Forum on August 24 and 25 did not offer any guarantees for the future, but harped instead on the need to maintain stability, a buzzword to Tibetans that they can expect an even harsher regime ahead.(ANI)
