TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – TIBET PROBLEM ON THE BACK BURNER

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – TIBET PROBLEM ON THE BACK BURNER

The Problem of Balance of Power in Southeast Asia became apparent with founding of People’s Republic of China on October 01, 1949. Red China’s Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong wasted no time to declare his ambitious ‘Expansionist’ Policy. United States along with India gave due importance to this Tibet Problem and initiated action to respond to Red China’s Military and Economic Expansionism.

TIBET ON THE BACK BURNER

US 37th President, Richard M Nixon placed Tibet Problem on the Back Burner in pursuit of his sinful desire to befriend Mao Zedong and Zhou En-Lai totally ignoring their Crimes against Humanity. Tibet’s time in History has arrived. Tibet Problem can no longer remain on the Back Burner. The time for action is NOW.

During 1971, Nixon-Kissinger placed the problem of Genocide in East Pakistan on the Back Burner. India refused to go along with Nixon-Kissinger and insisted that the humanitarian crisis in East Pakistan deserves a very high priority. India acted alone, and decisively resolved Bangladesh Crisis.

Nixon-Kissinger did not ‘NORMALIZE’ US-CHINA relations. Without Power Equilibrium in Southeast Asia, US cannot hope for normal relations with Red China.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER

**TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – TIBET PROBLEM ON THE BACK BURNER. IN 1971, NIXON-KISSINGER IGNORED HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN EAST PAKISTAN LEAVING IT ON THE BACK BURNER.**

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. Archer Kent Blood, the US Consul General at Dacca, East Pakistan sent this “Blood Telegram” to question the US Foreign Policy that utterly failed to denounce the atrocities, the massacre of innocent, unarmed civilians, mostly Hindu minority community living in East Pakistan during 1971 by the military rulers of Pakistan. He sent this telegram as his moral duty to uphold the humanitarian principles.

TIBET CONSCIOUSNESS – TIBET PROBLEM ON THE BACK BURNER. DURING 1971-72, NIXON-KISSINGER PLACED TIBET PROBLEM ON THE BACK BURNER. THE PROBLEM IS TOO IMPORTANT AND THEY DID NOT BURY IT. THEY LEFT IT SIMMERING.

NIXON-KIISINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. Richard Milhous Nixon, 37th President of the United States(1969-1974), and Dr Alfred Henry Kissinger, the National Security Adviser(1969-1975) deserve to be known as Whole Villains for not responding to the problem of genocide in East Pakistan( now known as Bangladesh) during 1971. Their actions are evil, unprincipled, and make mockery of the US Constitution.

The word ‘Villain’ describes a wicked or unprincipled character in a novel, play, etc., who opposes the protagonist or hero. Villain is someone or something regarded as the cause of a problem, difficulty, injustice, or great crime. It speaks about the evil nature of a person, very bad, disagreeable, or objectionable and such a person is often characterized as a ‘scoundrel’.

I am pleased to share Ashok Malik’s review of the book “The Blood Telegram – India’s Secret War in East Pakistan” authored by Gary J. Bass. The book reveals Archer Kent Blood, the chief US diplomat in Dacca as the hero or protagonist who had suffered on account of the actions of President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger, the National Security Adviser during 1971 . The real character and nature of President Nixon and Kissinger as ‘Villains’ can be easily discerned by reading this historical story titled “The Blood Telegram.” The book talks of the courage and uprightness of Archer Blood who was a first-hand witness to the genocide in East Pakistan, oppression of Bengali speaking Pakistanis, the mass murder and elimination of Hindu minorities and the humanitarian crisis that spilled into a massive refugee problem in India. Mr. Blood meticulously reported the massacres, the bloodshed in East Pakistan and had urged the US administration to take action to stop the military dictator of West Pakistan. Mr. Blood suffered greatly for his efforts and devotion to work. He was ignored, singled out and victimized by Dr. Kissinger. Mr. Blood’s career in the US State Department was utterly ruined and destroyed. This book is the story of what Mr. Blood did and how he suffered for being true to his conscience and his calling. It must be noted that the men and women who make up the State Department or work for the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) are often conscientious, well-meaning folks, schooled in the simplicity and goodness of small-town, middle class life in the heart of America. They are moral people, keen to use their country’s power to make the world a better place. Such conscientious people who belonged to the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) had rendered their service at a military organization in India known as Special Frontier Force or Establishment No. 22. Both the US President Richard M. Nixon, and Dr. Henry Kissinger, the National Security Adviser must be recognized as “WholeVillains” for their actions were motivated by an unprincipled desire to befriend Communist China without any concern for its involvement in killing its own people during the “Great Leap Forward” program of 1957-58, and during the infamous “Cultural Revolution” of 1966-69. The story reveals how Nixon and Kissinger were blinded by hate for India and Indians. They had visualized Pakistan as an essential ally and gateway to Communist China and had totally ignored the problem of human suffering in the Land that took a very painful birth as Bangladesh after India’s victory in a military battle during November-December 1971.

He described the heroic role of Archer Kent Blood, the US Consul General in Dacca(Dhaka), East Pakistan during 1971.

The role of General Yahya Khan, the military ruler of Pakistan, and US President Nixon in the brutal killings of unarmed civilians in East Pakistan during 1971 is now fully revealed. This is their photo image dated October 24, 1970. In this relationship, the US has totally disregarded the value of Democracy and showed no concern for Human Dignity and ignored its traditional role of defending Human Rights.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. Mockery of the US Constitution. Dr. Henry Kissinger is the Arch Villain in this story and he is seen in this photo meeting the leader of another country while responsibility of conducting diplomacy belonged to the US State Department. Kissinger flew to China from Pakistan and had used Pakistan as a gateway to Communist China. Both of these Villains are responsible for the millions of people who died in East Pakistan during 1971. Kissinger had misused and abused his position as the National Security Adviser. In clear violation of the US Constitution, he had usurped power of the Secretary of State to conduct secretive, diplomatic negotiations with foreign leaders.

During 1971, I had served in a military organization called Establishment No. 22, or Special Frontier Force which in reality represents a military alliance/pact between India, Tibet, and the United States to contain the military threat posed by Communist China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. It must be noted that Nixon had served as Vice President for two terms 1953-1956, and 1957-1960, during the presidency of Dwight David Eisenhower. President Eisenhower and his Secretary of State John Foster Dulles continued President Truman’s policy of containing Communism. In Southeast Asia, Eisenhower supported and had employed the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) to organize the Tibetan Resistance Movement since 1957-58. Later, President John F. Kennedy took the initiative to formulate the military alliance with India and Tibet that created the Special Frontier Force during 1962. The Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) has represented the US as our military partner and took the initial responsibility to impart the necessary military training to all personnel. Its Mission is that of fighting a war to evict China from the Land of Tibet and the men are not used for spying, or gathering intelligence as undercover agents. The CIA has used the services of this Organization to monitor the nuclear activities of Communist China as China was conducting underground nuclear tests inside Tibet. During 1971-72, in a complete reversal of its foreign policy, the United States allowed the National Security Adviser to change the course of the country and to make decisions on foreign relations without giving any role to the duly appointed Secretary of State. Kissinger used the infrastructure of US State Department to orchestrate a policy that has ignored the vital US national interests and its commitment to Democracy and Freedom. Kissinger had chosen to support Pakistan’s military dictator and had used him to gain access to the Communist Leaders in Peking that paved the way for President Nixon’s visit to China during February 1972. This book reveals as to how Nixon was baffled and annoyed by American sympathies for India and he communicated this opinion to Pakistan’s military dictator General Yahya Khan and observed that Americans could be suffering from a “physiological disorder.” Nixon and Kissinger encouraged other countries to illegally ship their US supplied weapons to Pakistan violating US laws that prohibit such transfer of military equipment. Kissinger had urged China’s Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai to open a second front and attack India to stop India from giving assistance to the people of East Pakistan. As India initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh, Nixon sent the US Seventh Fleet into Bay of Bengal without any concern about India’s logistical support to the US Army that was fighting a bloody war in Vietnam, a war in which Communist China had played a big role to ensure defeat of the US Army.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. During April 1969, Chairman Mao Tsetung had selected his Defence Minister Lin Biao as his successor and Lin became the Vice Chairman of the Communist Party. Both of them must be held accountable for the atrocities, the crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of “Cultural Revolution” during 1966-69.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER.Lin Biao Defence Minister and Communist Party Vice Chairman, the successor of Chairman Mao Tsetung was apparently assassinated by Prime Minister Chou En-lai and Chairman Mao Tsetung on September 13, 1971 as he tried to escape from the country. After his killing, most of the People’s Liberation Army’s Generals of high command were purged. It totally amazes me to know that the US National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger had requested Prime Minister Chou En-Lai to launch a military attack on India during that time to prevent India from taking military action to resolve the humanitarian crisis in East Pakistan.

During 1971, the US National Security Adviser, Dr Henry Kissinger had kept his visit to Peking as a big secret. However, at Special Frontier Force, Establishment No. 22, we were fully aware of his activities. The Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) officials who were serving at Establishment No.22 as military instructors were abruptly asked to return to the United States. Communist China had insisted that it would agree to meet Henry Kissinger and receive him in Peking only after the United States removes all its personnel from India who at that time were employed in the Special Frontier Force/Establishment No. 22. After their departure, India and Tibet had agreed to jointly launch a military action in Chittagong Hill Tracts to initiate the Liberation of Bangladesh and to stop the genocide in East Pakistan.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. On November 04, 1971, India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi made a final attempt to get support from President Richard Nixon to resolve the humanitarian crisis in East Pakistan. By that time, US had already decided to remove all its CIA personnel who were employed as military instructors at Special Frontier Force/Establishment No. 22. However, we began our military operation to initiate Liberation of Bangladesh without any assistance from the US personnel deputed by the CIA.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi could not obtain any support from US President Richard Nixon during her visit to Washington D.C. on November 04, 1971. However, it did not deter Special Frontier Force/Establishment No. 22 from initiating our military action to dislodge Pakistan’s Army from East Pakistan. We began our military action on November 03, 1971, a day before this meeting.

INDIA’S SECRET WAR IN EAST PAKISTAN:

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. These two leaders, the US President, the military dictator of Pakistan must be held accountable for the genocide in East Pakistan during 1971.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. Mockery of the US Constitution. The US National Security Adviser, Dr. Kissinger had misused and abused his official position to meet foreign Heads of State to formulate US foreign relations without participation of the US Secretary of State. I call this Villainous act as “Original Sin”. Both Chairman Mao Tsetung, and Prime Minister Chou En-Lai were leaders of the “Cultural Revolution” during 1966-69 and are guilty of crimes against humanity.

NIXON-KISSINGER – TIBET – ON THE BACK BURNER. “THE CRUEL BIRTH OF BANGLADESH” by Archer Kent Blood, the US Consul General in Dacca during 1971 describes the Villainy, the detestable acts of Pakistan’s military generals, and US President, and National Security Adviser.

India launched a Secret War in East Pakistan to respond to the huge humanitarian crisis which could not be resolved. United States pretended its ignorance of this whole problem. This military operation was given the code name Operation Eagle. On November 03, 1971, while India’s Prime Minister was visiting Washington D.C. in a final bid to enlist the support of President Nixon, Special Frontier Force without the US personnel moved into Chittagong Hill Tracts. President Richard Nixon had failed to endorse our military action, but we executed this military action using military equipment, field gear and rations provided by the United States. The infantry weapons and all other tools that we had used were the same as those used by the US Army in its Vietnam War. We prevailed in the battlefield and forced Pakistan’s Army to withdraw from their entrenched positions. The official war of India with Pakistan was declared by India’s Prime Minister on December 03, 1971.

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

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/20151027_dalailama.mp3

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 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.

ORION OVER AND UNDER TIBET

Published by KLAUS SCHMIDT on Mon Oct 5, 2015 7:31 am via: NASA

This night was so serene you could see Orion rise downwards. The unusual spectacle was captured in this single-exposure image, featuring a deep sky around the famous constellation of Orion that appeared both above — and reflected in — a peaceful lake in the Gyirong Valley of Tibet, China. Taken last year at this time, the three belt stars of Orion can be seen lined up almost vertically above and below the Himalayan Mountains.

The complex Orion Nebula can be seen to the belt stars’ right, while the red-glowing circular structure surrounding Orion is Barnard’s Loop. Also, the bright red star Betelgeuse is doubly visible on the image left, while bright blue Rigel appears twice on the image right. Familiar Orion is becoming increasingly visible as Winter (Summer) descends on the Northern (Southern) hemisphere.

China micromanages Tibet, floods it with money to woo locals

By Aritz Parra, Associated Press | Posted Sep 30th, 2015 @ 2:31am

LHASA, China (AP) — Ji Yunpeng misses hot-pot dinners with his wife and daughter back in Beijing and fights insomnia caused by the high altitude in the Tibetan capital by playing computer games, and, occasionally, studying Tibetan Buddhism.

“It’s just out of pure intellectual curiosity,” he said, aware that genuine religious interest would be a breach of discipline in China’s nominally atheist Communist Party.

Ji is in Lhasa on a three-year loan from the Beijing municipal government to oversee the school curriculum in Tibetan classrooms. In return, he gets a double salary and a shortcut up the party ladder. Nearly 6,500 civil servants like him have been dispatched to manage hefty budgets and shape Tibet’s modernization.

They are the human face of top-down development that has poured more than $100 billion dollars into the region since 1952. Critics say that Beijing’s obsession with social stability also has led to widespread human right abuses. But as incomes finally begin to increase across the Tibetan countryside, Chinese authorities are hopeful they can dispel international criticism over their rule in Tibet while winning the hearts of Tibetans and pulling some of their loyalty away from the exiled Dalai Lama.

“The strategy for Tibet is now shifting from the overall kind of repression that we have seen in the past to actually moving toward luring sections of the community and trying to work with those who cooperate with the authorities,” Tibet researcher Tsering Shakya said in an interview from University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

For most Tibetans in exile, the region has been unlawfully occupied by China since it was overrun by the People’s Liberation Army in 1951, and no material gains justify Beijing’s repression. But even skeptics like Shakya acknowledge that “without its intervention, the disparities between the development in Tibet and in China would be even greater.”

In a sign of new confidence, authorities this month invited a handful of foreign media organizations, including The Associated Press, on a tightly scripted visit to showcase Tibet’s development, timed to the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Tibet Autonomous Region.

STRINGS-ATTACHED DEVELOPMENT

Ji oversees the $40 million dollar Lhasa-Beijing Experimental Middle School, where many of the 2,500 students are from rural Tibet. Acting as deputy to the head of Lhasa’s education bureau, Ji explains how the pupils are entitled to nine years of free schooling.

As government minders watched, a Tibetan teacher wrote in Tibetan on a chalkboard crowned by the national flag, the Communist Party emblem and a portrait of President Xi Jinping. School officials explained that all subjects are taught in Mandarin, China’s official language, but that the curriculum includes mandatory Tibetan language.

In Lhasa, Beijing has also paid for housing projects, hospitals, an amusement park, an $80 million stadium and the Tibet Yak Museum, honoring the “hairy cow” of the grasslands.
“Beijing and Lhasa are still like two worlds apart,” Ji says. “But in a place like this, where things are still backward, there is a sense of achievement in every step forward.”

Robert Barnett, leading academic of Tibetan studies at Columbia University in New York, questions whether the two-decade-old policy is truly benefiting Tibetans. Economic gains of the development have for decades gone largely to migrants from China’s ethnic Han minority, who make up only 8 percent of the Tibet’s 3.2 million inhabitants. Only recently, he said, have they started to trickle down to the countryside.

“If you pour in money in that amount to an area that is fragile in its ecosystem and social composition and you just remove barriers for migration, you attract income seekers, with a huge negative effect and a domination of the economy,” Barnett said.

MOVING IN FROM GRASSLANDS

Perfectly identical “new socialist villages” have sprouted in the countryside of the Tibetan plateau during the past decade, compelling former nomads to take on a sedentary lifestyle, but also giving them immaculate two-floor villas with running water, latrines and biogas cookers.

Dawa, a 55 year-old herder resettled in Lhoka prefecture’s Gongkar county, proudly showed visiting officials and journalists how each member of the family now has a separate room. “Even in my dreams I never thought of having a house like this,” he said.

When repeatedly prompted about what he misses from his old life, Dawa paused and stared at the officials seated in his living room before answering.
“We have become selfish,” he said finally. “Now that living standards have improved, eating a piece of meat doesn’t make me as happy as eating a potato once did.”

THE INFLUX OF TOURISTS

Looking ahead, the government hopes to develop the mineral water industry, wool garment weaving workshops and factories of byproducts of traditional Tibetan medicine that will directly benefit the locals. Tourism development is, however, the biggest priority.

With plans to go from 15.5 million tourists in 2014 — five times Tibet’s population and most of them Chinese — to 20 million in the next five years, the industry already is transforming Lhasa’s landscape. Four huge pyramids of concrete and glass, the skeleton of a 2,000 room five-star resort, are joining new shopping malls, karaoke parlors and theme parks.
Visitors sweep through chambers of the labyrinthine Potala palace and compete for space with local pilgrims at the iconic Jokhang temple.

“There is a great deal of unhappiness and resentment among Tibetans over the way their culture and religion is being exploited,” said spokesman Alistair Currie of the London-based activist group Free Tibet, which is campaigning against foreign hotel chains in the autonomous region.

STABILITY ON THE PLATEAU

More than 140 Tibetans, men and women, lay people and monks, have died since 2009 protesting Beijing’s rule and demanding the return of the Dalai Lama, who fled to exile in 1959 following an aborted uprising by Tibet’s elites against the Communist Party.

Tibet’s security budget increased by 28 percent annually from 2007 to 2012, a similar pace as in Xinjiang, home to the Turkic-speaking and Islam-practicing Uighurs. The per capita spending in Tibet was 3.6 times the national average in 2012, said the Center for Human Rights and Democracy in Tibet.

Penpa Tashi, an ethnic Tibetan party member who is the region’s vice chairman, blames the tight security on unrest linked to the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetans, many of whom revere him as a demigod. “Only by remaining stable can we achieve development and improve people’s livelihood,” he said.

The paramilitary police who were ubiquitous following deadly riots in 2008 have retreated from the spotlight, leaving the streets in the hands of lightly armed patrols and police stations on every block. More subtle forms of surveillance — from CCTV cameras to plainclothes agents and monitored communications —have taken the lead.

COMMUNISTS IN THE MONASTERY

The party in the past installed “special working groups” at Tibet’s county levels to ensure patriotism. Those groups now have been extended to every village and every monastery, exercising an unprecedented level of control while also funneling money and resources to groups who cooperate.

In Lhoka’s Tradruk monastery, the secular management office has obtained funds for the latest renovation of this 12-century-old institution, one of the earliest Buddhist constructions in Tibet. As Han Chinese workers placed the last slate slabs in a courtyard, congregation head Migmar Tsering explained how the monastery can get electricity, televisions and libraries in exchange for displaying the Communist leaders’ portraits and topping the complex with the red flag of China.

In addition, monks meet once a week with the monastery’s Communist Party branch to receive legal and patriotic education.

“We now enjoy complete freedom of religion,” Migmar Tsering, 43, said in an interview arranged by the county propaganda office.
Shakya said the new system is actually helping to revive Buddhism throughout Tibet, although under the controlling eyes of the party.

However, other experts dispute that there has been any revival, especially given that the government has been providing the same figure of nearly 1,800 religious sites and more than 46,000 monks and nuns in the autonomous region since the early 90’s.

“You can have television sets, roads and flags in monasteries but you are not allowing the number of people to grow,” said Barnett, the Columbia University professor. “It’s hard to have monastic life thrive if you have a cadre team overseeing them.”

The current, 14th Dalai Lama, who is now 80, remains the nemesis of China’s interests in Tibet. Despite an obsessive vilification of the man by Chinese government and party officials, he remains immensely popular and influential among Tibetan Buddhists.

He has said he may not reincarnate, to undercut Beijing’s plans to pick his successor. This has forced the atheist Communist Party to embrace a practice introduced seven centuries ago by a Qing dynasty emperor to control the selection by having names drawn from a government-controlled golden urn.

The region’s vice governor, Penpa Tashi, told reporters over a dinner of yak meat that, without doubt, the 15th Dalai Lama will be approved by the Chinese government and that the 14th has been an “anomaly” who made no contribution to Tibet’s development and sought only to split the region away from China.

“His attempt to split and destroy will never be realized,” he said. “The 14th Dalai is just like a pustule or a weed. A pustule must be squeezed to make the body healthier, the same way that a weed must be uprooted.”

I am sharing photo images of Beijing that demonstrate Red China has awareness and has ability to find solutions to problems of urban smog, and atmospheric pollution. Occupation is like pollution and urban smog. The reality of Beijing is revealed by banning cars. I am asking Red China to use the same awareness to know Tibet and its reality. Tibet is not a part of China. The reality of Tibet will be revealed by removing occupation. Tibet in reality is Free and Tibet’s Freedom is its Natural State or Natural Condition.

2.5 Million Banned Cars Show Blue Skies For First Time

On August 20th, Beijing put restrictions on factory production and car use. Five million cars were forced to drive on alternating days leading up to the 70th anniversary of Japan’s WWII defeat on September 3rd so that the city’s usually smoggy skies would be a picture-perfect blue.

The day after the parade, with the restrictions lifted, Beijing’s air quality index hit 160, a level at which “everyone may begin to experience some adverse health effects,” according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“Military Parade Blue is gone; in its place is our ‘Normal Status Gray’” wrote one user online. While the LA Times cites several examples of such commentary on Chinese social media, CNN speculates that Chinese censors have actively removed similar posts from sites like Weibo.

5 million cars were forced to drive on alternating days in Beijing.

***Tibet is not a part of China. The reality of Tibet will be revealed by removing occupation. Tibet in reality is Free and Tibet’s Freedom is its Natural State or Natural Condition.***

The result is surprising – people could finally see buildings in the distance where there was usually thick smog

During the ban, Beijing’s average levels of PM (particulate matter) dropped by 73.2% compared to the last year.

40,000 construction sites in and around Beijing were also shut down for the duration.

An international standard for measuring the severity of air pollution dipped to a pristine 17 out of 500, signifying very healthy air.

This is how the Great Wall should look every day!

Whole Dream – Starbucks Coffee Tastes Better if there is Freedom in the Air

Tibet Awareness – Starbucks Opens Up Shops on the Tibetan Plateau

Whole Dream – Starbucks Coffee Tastes Better if there is Freedom in the Air. I would be happy to sip a cup of hot, freshly brewed Starbucks coffee to begin my day in Lhasa on a bright note. The Coffee is going to taste better when there is Freedom in the thin air of Tibetan Plateau.

Any mountain climber will be able to describe the shortness of breath that normally comes with altitude. It’s not that the air has a lower percentage of oxygen – it’s around 21% wherever you stand in the world. But air pressure decreases the further you walk or fly from the sea’s surface, allowing the gas molecules to spread out in all directions, and a lung can only stretch so far to compensate. The Tibetan plateau is one of the highest regions on Earth. It has an average elevation of ∼4,000 m, a barometric pressure of <500 mmHg, and an ambient partial pressure of oxygen (Po₂) of 80 mmHg. At more than 4,000m (13,000ft) above Sea Level, each breath contains around a third less oxygen than the same breath far below. At this altitude, the oxygen level in the air is roughly 60% of what is found at sea level, meaning people breathe in considerably less oxygen with each breath. Low oxygen levels can cause various health issues including nausea, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and in severe cases, altitude sickness.

I am sharing this story published by Brandchannel with the hope generated by my prediction of Red China’s sudden downfall. There is a chance that I may be attending festivities in Lhasa to celebrate Tibet’s Liberation from Communist occupation. I would be happy to sip a cup of hot, freshly brewed Starbucks coffee to begin my day in Lhasa on a bright note. The Coffee is going to taste better when there is Freedom in the thin air of Tibetan Plateau.

Starbucks Opens Up Shops on the Tibetan Plateau

Posted September 15, 2015 by MARK J. MILLER

A trip to Tibet has long been considered a journey one takes when seeking internal peace. Escaping Western creature comforts can help an individual reprioritize what life is all about.

That image may still be true, but Starbucks is inching closer to getting its caffeine and sugar into the country. On Friday, it opened two locations on the Tibetan Plateau over the border in the northern Chinese city of Xining.

The locations are strangely only 300 meters away from each other in a city of 2.2 million people. “Young people are very excited by the Starbucks,” student Padma Yangkyi told the Xinhua News Agency. “The fondness for traditional buttered tea and Tibetan opera doesn’t weaken our love for coffee and pop songs.”

China now has about 1,700 Starbucks, passing Canada as the country with the second-most locations outside the US, according to Quartz. The plan is to double that number in the next five years.

It isn’t clear when Starbucks will get to Tibet proper but it seems inevitable. The Australian reports that new Sinopec gas stations have popped up, there’s a shiny new Tibet Tiandi Green Barley brewery, and China is pumping “capital into the area, funding new infrastructure and providing subsidies and assistance, including free education, to many of its population.”

A railway opened in 2006 that brings travelers from Qinghai, Tibet, saw 15 million tourists last year, up 20 percent from 2013. Where the people go, Starbucks will surely follow.
