Sharing ‘INFORMATION’ is the central component of all aspects of social life and national life as people make choices using information. Technology makes it easy to collect and disseminate information to all corners of Earth. Why is it difficult to share information about Tibet? On May 18, in celebration of Tibet Museum on International Museum Day, let us dedicate the use of ‘Information’ to combat lies and deception used by Red Dragon to create illusion and fantasy.

Truth About Tibet in Information Era. Celebration of Tibet Museum on International Museum Day.
Dharamshala — The Tibet Museum of Department of Information and International Relations, CTA, commenced it’s three-day celebration of 39th International Museum Day by launching the museum’s exhibition catalog, “A Long Look Homeward” and a promotional video.
Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay was the chief-guest and launched the catalog. Mr Sonam N. Dagpo, Secretary of DIIR launched the promotional video of the museum. The Tibet Museum was established in 1998 and graced by His Holiness Dalai Lama, with the purpose to document, preserve, research, exhibit and educate on the matters related to Tibetan history, culture and the present issue.
The event saw Dr Sangay, Mr Tashi Phuntsok, Secretary of DIIR and Mr Tashi Phuntsok Director of the Tibet Museum addressing the audience on the importance and success of the museum in preserving the Tibetan culture, heritage and the stories of undying struggles of Tibetan people under the Chinese oppression. The museum is the proof of China’s attempts to create a false image of contentment and prosperity in Tibet.
Speaking to TPI, Sikyong said “Tibet issue is an issue of truth and justice. Truth is on our side and Justice is what we deserve, so this is the truth about Tibet’s history, this is the truth about occupation and oppression. China’s narrative says that Tibet is happy and content with the Chinese government. This is our true narrative in response to Chinese narrative.”
His message to the current world leaders regarding their passive approach towards the Tibet issue is “What Tibetans are facing and suffering is real so if they see, they must stand for the basic principles of their country which they claim to be democracy and freedom for all”.
Every year May 18th is celebrated as International Museum Day with the participation 142 countries and more than 35,000 museums.
RED CHINA’S CULTURAL WARFARE ON TIBET. APART FROM MILITARY CAMPAIGN TO OCCUPY TIBET, COMMUNIST CHINA UNLEASHED BRUTAL CAMPAIGN OF CULTURAL REPRESSION.
Red China’s Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong initiated Cultural Warfare on Tibet as part of his Campaign called ‘Cultural Revolution’ that started on May 16, 1966. This brutal Campaign of Cultural Repression, Political Oppression, and Economic Suppression to wipe out Tibetan Identity continues unabated. Cultural Revolution is not a relic of China’s past history. I ask people to break their silence to oppose Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet.

CHINESE PAPERS BREAK SILENCE ON CULTURAL REVOLUTION, SAYING IT COULD NOT, WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN

Trust us, they say, the past is in the past.
Two newspapers linked to the Communist Party have broken the silence on the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution, publishing editorials meant to assure readers that the party has granted the country “immunity” from political chaos and social unrest.
The editorials, published by the state-owned People’s Daily and the Global Times, were rare public comments on a decade-long disaster that former party chairman Mao Zedong unleashed and that his party now prefers to play down, recast or ignore.
But the articles broke no new ground, rehashing the official line determined by a clutch of cadres in a 1981 resolution.In it, they condemned the violence of the era, blamed Mao and his close associates, and advised everyone to move on. The Chinese people never got a say.
In a piece published Tuesday, the People’s Daily hewed closely to the old line, noting that “history always advances.” “There will not be re-enactment of a mistake like the Cultural Revolution,” it said.
An editorial in the Global Times, a newspaper known for its nationalist tone, hit at the same theme more forcefully: “We have bid farewell to the Cultural Revolution. We can say it once again today that the Cultural Revolution cannot and will not come back.”
The papers aim to instill confidence. They tell readers that what was decided in 1981 was not contingency or compromise but “unshakably scientific and authoritative” fact. They emphasize that the Chinese people have decided, unequivocally, to push ahead.
This is standard policy on several historical questions, from the Great Famine to the Tiananmen Square protests. As a result, when party papers write boldly about eyes fixed forward, it casts our gaze back, reminding us of how China’s past is shaping the present — and spooking the ruling party along the way.
Over the years, some survivors of that brutal decade have come forward to tell their stories, calling for truth and accountability, wanting to address old wounds. Under President Xi Jinping, though, the space for reflection has narrowed.
Xi has moved in many ways to bolster Mao’s reputation, drawing a single line between revolutionary struggle, World War II and the era of “national rejuvenation” that he says is underway. But Xi, a survivor of the Cultural Revolution, knows well that marshaling Mao is dangerous business; when you invite people to rally around the party’s founder, you risk overshadowing the party itself.
The truth is that the party’s stance on the Cultural Revolution is not accepted as fact.
It is questioned by survivors who want their trauma acknowledged and by neo-Maoists who think talk of “calamity” is overblown. Some see shades of Mao in Xi’s moves to consolidate power; others dismiss the comparison outright.
In an editorial published in the run-up to the anniversary, even the Global Times acknowledged the split, saying the Cultural Revolution “remains divisive” and has become a “proxy” for clashes between “rightists” and “leftists” debating “China’s political route.”
Which is why Tuesday’s twin editorials seem to open, not close, the question of what the Cultural Revolution means and what that, in turn, means for the party. The party asks for faith. Its papers beg the question: Does it yet trust itself?

CHINA WAS SILENT ON ITS 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION

TROUBLE IN TIBET – NEVER ENDING CULTURAL REVOLUTION. TIANANMEN SQUARE, BEIJING ON MAY 16, 2016. 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION.
Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon Paramilitary solders stand guard at Tiananmen Square where the portrait of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong is seen, on the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution in Beijing, China, May 16, 2016.
Mainland media met the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution with silence in a reflection of Beijing’s eagerness to contain discussion and avoid embarrassment over one of the most tumultuous periods in Chinese history.
A party directive issued on May 16, 1966, that launched a campaign to rid the country of “representatives of the bourgeoisie” plunged the nation into 10 years of turmoil and violent class struggle that would leave at least 1.72 million dead.
In a speech on China’s economy first made public last Tuesday, President Xi Jinping called the revolution a “decade of catastrophe” that had stalled the country’s industrialization.
But when the anniversary arrived, while international media dug through photo and story archives to provide extensive coverage, official Chinese outlets such as People’s Daily stayed away from the topic.
The website ifeng.com, which belongs to the Hong Kong-based Phoenix Media Group, briefly ran a piece featuring street interviews with people on the mainland, asking them their thoughts on the revolution.
One woman, asked for the worst part of the revolution, replied that it was the Nanking Massacre – an event which in fact happened almost 30 years earlier, in 1937 during the Japanese invasion of China. A man said he had no memory of what happened in “ancient times,” while some said they would take part in the revolution because “everyone was doing it.”

The report was deleted from the website, then reappeared and was deleted for a second time.
This month’s publication of Yanhuang Chunqiu, a monthly political magazine run by party liberals, was delayed a week as its editors and censor disagreed over articles on the revolution. One article was removed, a source close to the magazine said.
No official commemoration was held on the mainland, following the lead of previous anniversary dates, and online discussions on Weibo were censored. Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei offered a single sentence in response to a question about the anniversary in yesterday’s daily press briefing.
“The Chinese government already made the correct verdict on it long ago,” Hong said.

Trouble in Tibet – Red China’s Hydropower Projects in Occupied Tibet
Red China is constructing numerous dams in Tibet blocking natural flow of various rivers without concern for environmental impacts. None of the other Asian nations like India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Kampuchea, and Vietnam are able to intervene to assert their rights to River Waters. At this moment, while Red China plunders Tibet’s natural resources, the World is watching helplessly.

China begins construction of Tibet’s biggest dam; Suwalong project to cost $3 bn
China has started construction of its biggest hydropower project in Tibet costing over $3 billion which will supply electricity to the economically well-off regions in the country’s eastern region.

China has started construction of its biggest hydropower project in Tibet costing over $3 billion which will supply electricity to the economically well-off regions in the country’s eastern region. The Suwalong hydropower project at the junction of Mangkam county in Tibet and Batang county in Sichuan province has a design capacity of 1.2 gigawatts and will be able to generate about 5,400 gigawatt hours of electricity a year when completed in 2021, official media reported. The design capacity is more than double that of the Zangmu hydropower plant on Brahmaputra river which Tibet’s largest existing hydro project. It was completed in October last year. It is hoped that the 18 billion yuan (USD 3 billion) Suwalong dam, could pave the way for other projects in the headwaters of the adjacent Nu (Salween) and Lancang (Mekong) rivers to “fuel development” of hydro power in Tibet, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted Chinese media as saying.
Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression
Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression. There is no controversy. Queen of Red China has no clothes to hide her acts of aggression.
Tibet’s military occupation describes ‘The Naked Truth’. The word ‘NAKED’ means completely unclothed, bare, nude, uncovered, exposed, plain, or stark. Publication of Nude Photo images in social media is not of much concern. Red China’s unprovoked attack, Red China’s use of her armed forces violating international laws, and Red China’s destructively hostile and aggressive actions constitute ‘The Naked Truth’ and this Shameless Act of Naked Aggression is cause of pain and suffering across Land of Tibet. There is no controversy; Queen of Red China is Shameless, has no clothes, and cannot hide or conceal her acts of aggression.

Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression. There is no controversy. Queen of Red China has no clothes to hide her acts of aggression.
Reaction to nude photos posted online of a woman at a sacred lake in the Tibet autonomous region has been mixed.
Negative comments followed the posting of the images earlier this week, but there were also many internet users who supported the nude photography and criticized Sina Weibo user YouchumDolkar for posting private images.
“Nudity does not necessarily imply sex, and nudity does not mean vulgarism,” said Weibo user Miaoira.
The photographer was not detained by the police, as reported by some media, according to Wang Jin, head of the publicity department of Nagarze county, Tibet. That was confirmed by the police in Lhasa, the regional capital.
However, Wang said, such photography would not be welcomed by ethnic groups, and public nudity is forbidden by the country’s public security regulations.
“Yamdrok Lake is one of the sacred lakes in Tibet, and it is of major significance to its people. Any action that desecrates the lake is forbidden,” Wang said.
YouchumDolkar, a female netizen, first posted the nude photos on Monday.
She condemned the actions of the male photographer and the woman for what she said was their “way of thinking without any cultural or moral principles”.
She added another post on Thursday saying, “I only wanted more people to know about the local customs in Tibet” and “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
The posts had more than 2,370 comments and 390 reposts as of Thursday.
Accompanying the posts was a screen shot of a WeChat “Moment” in which the photographer explained that the woman who posed for the camera simply wanted to create a memory of the sacred spot because she was able to visit Tibet in the prime of her life.
Beijing News had reported on Wednesday that the police had placed the photographer－identified only as Yufeixiong in his social media account－in administrative detention for 10 days after receiving reports about the nude photo shoot from local residents.
The photographer did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday .

High ranking Chinese official says Dalai Lama is ‘making a fool’ of Buddhism after he suggested he may be reincarnated ‘as a bee or mischievous blond girl’
China’s ethnic and religious affairs chairman takes a swipe at Dalai Lama Claims he is failing Tibetan Buddhists with comments on reincarnation. The Dalai Lama said he may reincarnate as ‘a bee or mischievous blond girl’.

A top Chinese official has blasted the Dalai Lama claiming he is ‘making a fool’ of Buddhism by suggesting he may not reincarnate when he dies. Zhu Weiqun, chairman of the ethnic and religious affairs committee of the top advisory body to China’s parliament, said the Dalai Lama had to respect tradition.
Tibetan Buddhism believes that the soul of a senior lama is reincarnated in the body of a child on his death.

The Dalai Lama – who fled into exile in India after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 – is being accused of adopting a ‘useless’ approach by suggesting he may be reincarnated as an animal or ‘something entirely inappropriate’
Writing in the state-run Global Times, Mr Weiqun wrote: ‘The Dalai Lama continues to proclaim his reincarnation is a “purely religious matter” and something only he can decide, but he has no way to compel admiration from the faithful.
‘He’s been proclaiming he’ll reincarnate as a foreigner, as a bee, as a “mischievous blond girl”, or even proposing a living reincarnation or an end to reincarnation.
‘All of this, quite apart from making a fool of Tibetan Buddhism, is completely useless when it comes to extricating him from the difficulty of reincarnation,’ wrote Zhu, who was involved in the past in Beijing’s failed efforts to talk to the Dalai Lama’s representatives.’ The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader is considered a violent separatist by China.
He denies espousing violence and insists he only wants genuine autonomy for Tibet.
The comments against him come as early election results put the leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile, Lobsang Sangay, on course for a second term, part of a strategy to sustain a decades-old struggle for greater autonomy for its Chinese-ruled homeland.

Tibetan Buddhism believes that the soul of a senior lama is reincarnated in the body of a child on his death.
China says the tradition must continue and its officially atheist Communist leaders have the right to approve the Dalai Lama’s successor, as a right inherited from China’s emperors. A senior aide to the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Taklha, said there was ‘no way’ Tibetans would accept a successor appointed by China. ‘The Chinese are following an absurd agenda and we continue to reject it,’ he said. In 2011, the Dalai Lama called on exiled Tibetans to nominate an elected leader, or ‘Sikyong’, to lead the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). Sangay was on track to win re-election with over 65 percent backing in the March 20 vote. ‘I hope to do much better. Both on political terms, by holding dialogue with the Chinese, and working on welfare issues in the next five years,’ he told Reuters. China does not recognize the CTA, which is based in India’s Himalayan town of Dharamsala and represents nearly 100,000 exiled Tibetans living in 30 countries including India, Nepal, Canada and the United States.

TIBET’S MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION DEAD REMEMBERED AS 57th UPRISING ANNIVERSARY MARKED
March 12, 2016 1:10 pm
Tibetans across the free world, joined by their supporters, marked on Mar 10 the 57th anniversary of their uprising against the Chinese occupation of their homeland with protest rallies, flying of Tibetan national flags from prominent public buildings and private homes, and speeches.
(TibetanReview.net, Mar12’16) – Tibetans across the free world, joined by their supporters, marked on Mar 10 the 57th anniversary of their uprising against the Chinese occupation of their homeland with protest rallies, flying of Tibetan national flags from prominent public buildings and private homes, and speeches. They condemned the continued policy of violent repression of the Tibetan people and called on China to resolve the decades-old political issue through dialogue. The day was also marked as Tibetan Martyr’s Day, for the more than 1.2 million Tibetans who died since China began its invasion of Tibet in late 1949, especially the more than 400 who have self-immolated since Feb 2009. In Dharamshala, India, both the executive head of the exile Tibetan administration, Sikyong Lobsang Sangay, and Speaker Penpa Tsering of the Tibetan Parliament in exile, addressed thousands of people at the official function held on the Tsuglakhang courtyard, recounting 57 years of horror endured by Tibetans under China’s subjugation and emphasizing that resolving the issue through dialogue and granting an ethnically contiguous Tibetan territory autonomy under Chinese sovereignty would be mutually beneficial. The official function concluded with a large rally of Tibetans snaking its way to the downtown district court complex area where speeches were delivered. The rally was jointly organized by the National Democratic Party of Tibet, Tibetan Youth Congress, Students for a Free Tibet, GuChuSum Movement and Tibetan Women’s Association. Other commemorative events were held by Tibetans and supporters in cities across the world. In India’s capital New Delhi, dozens of activists of the Tibetan Youth Congress were detained after they protested outside the Chinese embassy. Many had faces painted with Tibetan national flags, which they also carried in their hands, dressed in black. They shouted slogans such as “China go out” (of Tibet) and “Please support us” before being subdued and taken away in police buses, reported laprensasa.com Mar 10. A much larger protest rally was held at Jantar Mantar, near Connaught Place, with the participation of a large number of Indian supporters as well. In the south Indian IT hub of Bangaluru, around 600 Tibetans held a peace march on the eve of the uprising anniversary, said the laprensasa.com report. Commemoration and protest rallies were also held in numerous other towns and cities in India, both by Tibetans and Indian supporters. * * * A number of online reports also spoke about commemoration functions and protest rallies held in a number of US cities. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Representative Jim McGovern published an op-ed in the USA Today on Mar 10. Describing their experiences in Tibet which they visited as members of a US congressional delegation in Nov 2015, they called on Chinese authorities to engage the Dalai Lama in dialogue as part of what they describe as a “narrow but real” opportunity for the Chinese government to re-evaluate its policy toward Tibet. In downtown Santa Fe, in New Mexico State, dozens of Tibetans marched from the Tibetan Association of Santa Fe’s center to the state Capitol on Paseo de Peralta where a commemoration function was held, followed by a rally through the streets. There were also media reports of similar events held in Utah, downtown Minneapolis (over 400 people), Ithaca, and numerous other places. * * * In Canada, dozens of people were reported to have gathered in front of Calgary’s city hall on Mar 10 to mark the Tibetan National Uprising Day. Waving the Tibetan flag and holding signs with slogans such as “Human rights in Tibet,” “Allow media in Tibet,” and “Stop torture in Tibet,” the group was reported to have finished their march in front of the Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China. * * * In Australia, a number of Tibetans had their heads shaved to pay tribute to 18-year-old Kalsang Wangdu and 16-year-old Dorjee Tsering, who had self-immolated the week before in Tibet and in India while commemorating the event in Sydney. * * * In Brussels, more than 250 Tibetans and European friends gathered in Schuman Square next to the European Commission and Council to commemorate the uprising day. Mr Thomas Mann, a German member of the European Parliament and chair of the Tibet Interest Group, a cross-party group of European Parliamentarians, issued a statement for the occasion. The crowd later marched to the Chinese Embassy, shouting slogans. * * * In UK, protesters gathered opposite the Chinese embassy in London and later marched through central London to the Westminster Cathedral Hall where later in the evening a Tibetan cultural event was held. Tibet Society, UK, called on Prime Minister David Cameron to meet with the Dalai Lama and urged governments to work multi-laterally to solve the Tibet crisis. * * * In France, the Mayor of the 2nd district of Paris, Mr Jacques Boutault, raised the Tibetan national flag in front of the city hall at a commemoration event attended by more than 400 Tibetans and supporters. Senator Andre Gattolin, Vice President of the Tibet Group in the French Senate, was among those who addressed the gathering. The crowd later marched to the Chinese embassy, shouting slogans. * * * In the Czech capital Prague, on a proposal by the Culture Minister Mr Daniel Herman (Christian Democrats, KDU-CSL), the Chamber of Deputies observed a moment of silence in commemoration of the victims of the Chinese invasion and occupation of Tibet. Later in the day, a crowd of about 150 rallied under the theme of Voice for Tibet with playing of Tibetan music and anthem outside the Chinese embassy. One of the banners carried by the protesters said “Czechs Support Tibet”; it featured a portrait of former president Vaclav Havel flanked by Tibetan Dalai Lama, reported praguemonitor.com Mar 11. * * * Members of Parliament of the three Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania joined Tibet supporters in issuing a joint statement, deploring the current situation in Tibet and calling on China to begin immediate and meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan administration in exile, given the fact that both were only seeking meaningful autonomy for Tibet within the People’s Republic of China. * * * In Japan, around 80 Tibetans and Japanese supporters gathered on Mar 6 at Shibuya Miyashita Koen (Park) to commemorate the uprising day. Their marching route was otherwise no available for Mar 10. As the march entered the intersection in front of Shibuya station, famously known as ‘The Scramble’ and referred as the world’s busiest, a statement on the current situation in Tibet and appealing for global intervention there was loudly read out many times. Mr Makino Sensei, former MP and Tibet supporter was among those who addressed the gathering.

PROPAGANDA MACHINE IN DICTATOR MAO’S CHINA FAILS ITS CAMPAIGN ON TIBET
Dharamshala — China’s iron-fisted policy has bestowed to Tibet occupation, colonization, political repression, cultural assimilation, and environmental destruction among other factors for more than half a century making the conflict in Tibet one of the long-standing global issues. There is no visible difference, whether they call it China’s third era, the end of reform, growth, or stability. What the people of Tibet know is that China wants Tibet, but not the Tibetan people. The situation in the homeland of Tibetan people has only become worse with time. In the last eight years, over 150 Tibetans have set themselves on fire in protest of repressive Chinese policies that stifle basic freedoms including expression, faith and language. The Chinese government has left no stone unturned in systematically attempting to eradicate Tibetans’ cultural way of life and belief. The international community must first understand that Chinese government is still a regime of authoritarian founded by Mao Zedong, known as the greatest mass murderer in world history, violating not only the rights of people of Tibet but also its own citizens— strengthening its terrorism suppression against the dissidents, human rights lawyers, and all kinds of religious and faith groups. It also strengthened its extreme acts of greed against freedom of expression, including blockade and control of the Internet, broadcasting, and print media. China is one of the top ten worst nations in the world for decades, with pervasive and increased regime control on the freedom of press whether in form of censorship or with new surveillance tactics, is limiting freedom of expression and amplifying self-censorship among the internet users in the country. Leading Chinese state-run media initially had very few news articles about the Tibetans who set themselves on fire, only reporting that it was due to family or personal issues. Later China used its leading propaganda machines and shifted the blame to Tibetans in exile, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama for Tibetan self-immolation protests, without a single piece of evidence, claiming they have incited the “extreme acts” against Chinese rule. However, the Central Tibetan government immediately responded, saying the fundamental reasons for the increasing number of self-immolations in Tibet, lies solely in China’s massive policy failure over the course of the more than 60 year rule, driving so many young Tibetans to self-immolation. These immolations, which in reality have been caused by political repression, cultural assimilation, social discrimination, economic marginalization and environmental destruction, have been widely covered in the domestic and international media and in social media. People care deeply about the values on which their nations were created: freedom, democracy and justice. Many nations in the world won their independence through a freedom struggle by different rebellions. However, India won based on the principles of nonviolence, non-cooperation and civil disobedience. This legacy of resistance has been a source of inspiration for independence struggles all over the world, and continues to motivate the people of Tibet in their freedom struggle. Tibet and India have shared a peaceful border for many centuries, owing to close cultural and spiritual ties. Following the illegal occupation of Tibet by China, the new Indo-Tibet border became one of the most highly militarized in the world. The United Nations Security Council Resolutions No 1368 (UNSC, 2001a) and No 1373 (UNSC, 2001b) were passed in the days following the attacks on World Trade Centre and Pentagon. Both opened up new approaches to stop and prevent political violence. One direct result of the global efforts by states to fight “terrorism” is an expansion of the definition and use of the term “acts of terror”. Due to lack of consensus on what constitute “acts of terror” or who are “terrorist” these resolutions left it to each state to come up with their own definitions and use of such labels. In many cases, the definitions fail to draw up clear boundaries between “terrorists” and “freedom fighters”. This ambiguity became an important opportunity for the Chinese regime’s efforts to delegitimize opponents by making ordinary political actions illegal and labeling them “terrorism.” Most of China’s recent new laws include tougher punishment, less rigorous civil rights, and that the burden of proof is less strict than otherwise. Party support is huge for a tough policy against anyone labeled ‘terrorist’ in China, particularly in Tibet and other occupied territories. No matter whether they are freedom fighters or dissidents, China went to the extreme to label oppositional voices as terrorists. However, China must know that many UN members have strongly expressed that human rights and the provision of fundamental freedoms must be ensured while speaking about fighting terrorism. “The main principles of international law, especially international humanitarian and human rights law, should be respected.” When the Tibetans in exile decided to have their first democratic elections for their political leader in 2011, cam just after the devolution of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s political responsibilities to the democratically elected Tibetan leaders, the Chinese propaganda got a lot of governmental support for their criminalization of Tibetan people exercising their right to participate in elections. Similarly, a so called People Daily editor Li Hongmei, unhappy with the success of exile Tibetan democratic election, wrote an article four years ago titled, “Terrorist poised to rule “Tibetan government in-exile” labeling Dr Lobsang Sangay Tibetan Prime Minister-elect a terrorist for once serving as an executive member in the pro-independence Tibetan Youth Congress. It drew sharp reactions from international media, reminding the international community that Tibetan people continue to engage in peaceful and non-violent forms of resistance and have openly and defiantly expressed their reverence and faith in His Holiness the Dalai Lama. China has completely failed in its efforts in labeling Tibetan people as terrorist. No one in the world calls the Tibetan people terrorists, or the Tibetan government a terrorist group. Instead, the world formally recognizes the people of Tibet as peace loving and non-violent people and their struggle for freedom and justice as a symbol of nonviolent and peaceful movement. As a result, there has been significant disagreement between the Chinese government and international community. Today, China is still a communist country. It is therefore logical for observers to simply understand its true nature as a monolithic communist authoritarian state or a totalitarian regime. Starting in 1949, Tibet was invaded by 35,000 Chinese troops who systematically raped, tortured and murdered an estimated 1.2 million Tibetans, one-fifth of the country’s population. Since then over 6000 monasteries have been destroyed, and thousands of Tibetans have been imprisoned. It is estimated that up to 260,000 people died in prisons and labor camps between 1950 and 1984. China has also lost its international reputation and any remaining right to moral leadership by defending their failed policies with an iron fist in the past six decades. Chinese people must know that historically Tibet and China were two different entities as enshrined in the Treaty of 821-822, which states that “Tibetans shall be happy in the land of Tibet and Chinese will be happy in the land of China.” Leading communist propaganda, particularly “Xinhua,” is considered to be one of the biggest news agency in China, but in hurry to discredit a proper historical background, claims “the titles of Dalai Lama and Panchen Erdini were conferred by the Central Government of the Qing Dynasty”, which later proved to be false. It drew sharp reactions from international media for several days. The simple historical fact accounts that the title “Dalai Lama” was offered by the Mongol Price Altan Khan to Sonam Gyatso in 1578, who became known as the Third Dalai Lama, while his two previous recognized incarnations came to be referred to retrospectively as the first and second Dalai Lamas. The other claim that the Qing Dynasty originally conferred the title “Panchen” is similarly untrue. The title “Panchen” came to be accorded to the abbots of Tashilhunpo Monastery in the following way. Gedun Drup, who was retrospectively recognized as the First Dalai Lama, founded Tashilhunpo Monastery in 1447. When he met Panchen Choglay Namgyal, another erudite contemporary, Gedun Drup answered all the spiritual questions the great master put to him. Deeply impressed, Panchen Choglay Namgyal bestowed on him the title “All-knowing”. Subsequently, Gedun Drup came to be known by the titles “All-knowing” and “Panchen”. The word Panchen is made up of the first syllables of two words, “Pandita”, a Sanskrit word meaning scholar, and “Chenpo”, a Tibetan word meaning great. In 1731 Manchu Emperor Kiang-shi offered the title Erdini to the Fifth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Yeshi. Erdini is a Mongol word meaning “Precious Jewel” and is merely a complimentary title shared with many Mongolian lamas. If respect for Tibetan Buddhist tradition and customary methods are the criteria for the legality and validity of the search and recognition of the reincarnation of the Tibetan Lamas, there are no grounds for opposing His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s decision. The Chinese state-controlled propaganda of the longest-lasting repressive regime in Modern history continue to claim that Tibetans are happy in Tibet and enjoying a “socialist paradise.” In the past six decades, they have depicted happy smiling Tibetans in posters and propaganda as living in a “Maoist socialist paradise” where all their needs have been taken care of by the benevolent communist party. They took away our freedom and our country in the name of “liberation” and “development.” Which has been unacceptable to people of Tibet – as it has legally, historically and politically been independent. When China invaded Tibet, started from 1949, it promised the Tibetan people a “socialist paradise.” First, roads were built and, along these roads, Tibet’s untapped and abundant mineral and other natural resources were carted to China. Forests were logged. Countless and priceless statues and cultural artifacts housed in destroyed monasteries and temples made their way to China. In reality, the “socialist paradise” the Tibetans were promised turned into colonialism, with Tibet’s resources used to fuel China’s development. The Tibetan people resisted this development with determination but the resistance was crushed with military might. This is the Tibetan experience of China’s “Socialist paradise.” In criteria of being unbiased, none of the state-run newspapers and channels fare well. During Barack Obama’s Presidential inauguration in 2009, the CCTV ran news censoring President Barack Obama’s inaugural speech, cutting references to “communism” and “dissent” from transcripts even as the speech was being broadcast. Some but not all, of the major news websites quickly followed suit, posting the full transcript of the speech but with offending words removed. Similarly on US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s speech calling for China to lift their restrictions on citizens’ use of the internet, most of Chinese media dismissed the call, but the critical Chinese reports were then cut from websites. The media in China has no history, which have been part of a long-lasting campaign of propaganda elaborated by the state-run press. In China, authoritarianism has reached a completely new level. Political analysts have used terms like “brainwashing” and “propaganda” to describe the main reasons explaining the survival of this autocratic system. While observing this, can’t we then see the reasons behind violent acts? By that criteria, every violent act by non-Chinese will be a terrorism and every confrontation between minority and Chinese a racial act. More shameful is the fact that Chinese media labels the guilty even before police registration. To the peace-loving international community and the people of Tibet, the Western media has performed their every possible corresponding duties to the best of their efforts. It is the Chinese propaganda machines who have made obvious errors, especially in their coverage of the widespread peaceful protests in Tibet. For Tibetans, Chinese state-run media is the most dangerous propaganda group in the world. It is true that the Chinese media has received widespread international criticism in their biased coverage. So many western and Tibetan media have done excellent analyses of the true nature of Chinese media in recent years, which focuses attention on the misleading, advertisements portraying Tibetan families before 1940s with other recent well-dressed family photos including a nice house with a big television, aiming to prove the improvements made in Tibet made by the Chinese government. We the people of Tibet clearly know that Western media sympathize with the Tibetan side and not the Chinese government. This is no longer just an issue of Tibet, but an issue of free nations needing to uphold principles of democracy, peace, freedom and human rights. The Western media has made unavoidable errors in reporting news about Tibet. But, it is important to look at the reason for these errors. Had the Chinese government had not barred them from reporting, or even entering, areas in Tibet, they could have offered a completed information about the 2008 widespread peaceful protests against China’s rule, and could continue to report accurate news. We all are now well aware of the harshest censorship in Tibet in history. Thanks to the information technology that has brought a new kind of revolution in journalism in most of parts of the world. However we understand that we are talking about a very dangerous and extremely effective propaganda machine which has existed for many decades, since dictator Mao era. Authorities in China have too long controlled the news that flows, however slightly, from within Tibet. In a hurry to change news angle in their own favor, they ignore the principles we value in democratic societies and the importance of independent media, making China the best example of the greatest enemy to press freedom.

Finding ‘Inner Peace’ through mental practices like ‘Meditation’ entirely depends upon the precise, geographical location where the Subject practices Meditation. Prayer and Meditation are useful tools, but they have practical limitations. Mental practices by themselves do not change or alter external reality. At the most, the mental practitioner may develop tolerance and cope with external reality that remains unchanged. If the purpose of mental practice is that of resisting external reality, practices such as Prayer and Meditation can bring benefits like Patience and Perseverance that sustain mental resistance to unchanging external circumstances. Tibetans living under Subjugation have to cultivate an attitude of Patience and Perseverance for they have no other Choice. Oppressive Military Regimes must not be tolerated and to resist military occupation is the right thing to do.

Whole Trouble – Change Your Mind, Change the World of military oppression in Tibet Great Masters of Nalanda, Acharya Atisha.Meditation_vs_Military_Oppression: Whole Trouble – Meditation to confront the problem of military oppression of Tibet. “Change Your Mind, Change The World.”
His Holiness made a swing through town this week to headline the “Change Your Mind Change The World” conference hosted by his old friend Richie Davidson of the UW’s Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center and his new friend Jonathan Patz of the UW Global Health Institute. A star-studded affair, the daylong event featured heavy hitters Arianna Huffington (The Huffington Post) and Daniel Goleman (author of Emotional Intelligence) as moderators along with a high-end cast of thinkers and doers who could only be upstaged by someone like the Dalai Lama.
I attended the afternoon session, “Conversations on Science, Happiness and Well-being,” with His Holiness, Huffington, Davidson, Patz and renowned Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard, who has participated in Davidson’s research on the effects of meditation on the brain. To set the mood of this momentous occasion, UW Chancellor David Ward told the audience, “There is likely no other topic that has greater impact on the world than that of sustainable well-being.” Huffington concurred in her own words: “There is no more important conversation going on on the planet.” She went on to describe a perfect storm that’s brewing on earth right now:
After plugging Huff Post’s new stress-reducer app “GPS for the Soul,” she shared her recipe for changing the world: strength, serenity, and wisdom … “We all have this,” she said. “Most of us are not there.”
The next hour-and-a-half was a reflecting exercise of sorts—each of the three panelists (Davidson, Patz and Ricard) held forth on their own body of knowledge and research interests, and then Huffington asked the Dalai Lama to respond.
Davidson laid out five facts of well-being and cited studies that prove the extraordinary—and relatively new—findings on how little we know about or respect well-being’s effect on our health, both physical and emotional. According to one study, after just two weeks of training in compassion, a study cohort’s brains changed to become more cooperative and altruistic. Another study, this one on infants, found there is an innate disposition toward well-being and generosity.
The Dalai Lama’s curiosity piqued when Davidson explained a mind-wandering study revealing that forty-seven percent of the time the average American is not actually paying attention to what he or she is doing, and is feeling unhappy while doing so. At which point the Dalai Lama leaned over and began speaking with his interpreter, who eventually asked, “Can you explain what mind wandering is?” The Overture Hall crowd erupted in laughter, finding collective humor in the notion that a great practitioner of mindfulness would have a difficult time understanding the concept of distraction. It took a couple minutes for His Holiness to wrap his uncluttered mind around the idea and respond, “That is why it is so important to focus, to practice simple point of mind.”
After Davidson’s presentation on well-being, Huffington wrapped it up by asking the Dalai Lama: “What can we do to help these tools become more widespread?” His reply was a recurring theme throughout the session: education. “That’s the only way.” He also talked about the media’s obligation to inform the public about the positive, not just the negative, as well as his own commitment “to promote secular ethics, harmony.” Human nature is gentle, he explained, but that good nature becomes dormant due to our social environment and the deeply instilled values of money, greed and competition.
UW professor Jonathan Patz, who was among a United Nations panel that shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in 2007, was up next. He opened with the sobering news of late that the earth has for the first time exceeded 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide, which is not good. “Grappling with climate change is a golden opportunity for human health and well-being,” Patz said before exploring the concept of the interdependence of our human species with the survival of the natural world. He did so by telling the story of a third-world village that eradicated malaria with a pesticide, only to weaken the food chain and unleash an epidemic of typhus. The lesson? “The importance of being mindful of the interdependence of life because unintended consequences outnumber our good intentions.” Other topics Patz and the Dalai Lama reflected on were measuring a country’s gross domestic product by more than financial capital—factoring in socio-political and environmental capital as well. Patz also shared with His Holiness that more than population growth, per-person consumption of natural resources is a threat to, well, natural resources and a clear link to climate change and worst-case scenarios.
Scary serious stuff, and the Dalai Lama himself seemed temporarily uncertain about whether humans have the capacity to overcome these challenges until Arianna Huffington asked a doozy of a question: “Is there a connection between burned out humans and burning out the planet?”
Matthieu Ricard’s comments were wide-ranging, from ideas like “voluntary simplicity” and “gross national happiness” to how greed has reduced human qualities to a single dimension. His answer to Huffington’s powerful doomsday question was, in the spirit of Buddhism and the Dalai Lama himself, quite simple: altruism. His Holiness agreed, but framed it quite differently. The opposite of altruism, or selflessness, is selfishness, and he told us there are two kinds of selfish: wise selfish and foolish selfish. If you think more about others’ well-being, he suggested, you will get the ultimate benefit.
At the end of the session, the speakers lined up and joined hands as the audience stood and clapped. But the Dalai Lama decided he wasn’t quite done yet. In an unscripted encore, he looked out on the crowd and began speaking about the masters of teaching in all of human history. Like Davidson and Patz’s modern scientific work, those teachings spread and multiply. “That’s the only way to change humanity’s way of thinking,” he told us. The previous century was marked by violence, “brilliant brains used for destruction,” he continued. “This century should not be that way … so, it is our responsibility.”
As he walked off stage, the Dalai Lama waved, then lingered, then walked toward the crowd and shook hands with several lucky front-row seat holders as John Lennon’s “Imagine” floated through the air.
I left feeling conflicted about whether the answers were this simple, but also moved simply by being in the Dalai Lama’s presence, an experience shared by many. There’s just something about a person whose real and tangible world power doesn’t rest in the hands of the government or the military but in his human capacity for kindness and compassion. There’s something about the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama, who is a regular at the university, has espoused concepts such as secular ethics – which states that all humans, regardless of religion or background, should treat each other with compassion.
The Centre for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will host Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama and a panel of experts at a live-streamed event aimed at promoting global well-being on Wednesday.
The event, The World We Make, will be held in the Capitol Theatre at the Overture Centre for the Arts in Madison, Wisconsin, at 1.30 pm central time. The panel, moderated by ABC News anchor Dan Harris, will focus on how the world will look if the concept of well-being is put into practice. The event will be broadcast internationally through live streaming, thanks to a partnership with the National Geographic Society and the Mind and Life Institute.
“The science we are doing at UW–Madison is providing crucial evidence to support the idea that simple, secular mental practices can help people cultivate well-being,” says Davidson. “However, scientific research is not sufficient in itself. We need partnerships with global thought leaders like His Holiness the Dalai Lama to catalyse these conversations about well-being and inspire people to view it as a skill that can be learned.”
Concepts such as secular ethics — which states that all humans, regardless of religion or background, should treat each other with compassion — has been espoused by the Dalai Lama, who is a regular at the university. The other panelists at the event include:
Richard Davidson: The founder of the Center for Healthy Minds, he is best known for his groundbreaking research on emotion and the human brain.
Sona Dimidjian: An associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder, his research addresses issues regarding the treatment and prevention of depression – with emphasis on the mental health of women during pregnancy and postpartum.
Soma Stout: She is the executive external lead for health improvement of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the executive lead of 100 Million Healthier Lives, which brings together hundreds of partners across global communities to ensure healthier lives for over 100 million people by 2020.
