50 Years of Chinese rule has pushed Tibet ecological disaster
Aug 29, 8:00 am
Hong Kong, Aug.29 (ANI): The establishment of People’s Republic of China in 1949 led to efforts to greatly expand agricultural production in China.The ensuing proliferation of irrigation wells sped ahead of the natural rate of replenishment of aquifers that were their source. As a result, regions of China, particularly the arid north, have accumulated a considerable water deficit. This deficit has been further worsened by industrialization and the pollution of groundwater tables. Considering that the Tibetan Plateau is home to some of the world’s most extensive underground aquifers, China’s interest in the exploitation of these resources is obvious. Since the completion of the Golmud-Lhasa Railway in 2006, many such projects have been planned. A Wilson Center report points out that China’s South-North Water Diversion Project has a ‘Western Route’ planned that will tap three tributaries of the Yangtze on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.While the route has received extensive criticism from Chinese and foreign academics alike, the line remains planned. The project is “definitely not meant to develop Tibet”, according to Tibetan natural resources expert Tashi Tsering, as it takes water from rivers dependent on glaciers that are receding, and will hurt the availability of water in Tibet itself. In 2014, the Tibet Autonomous Region produced 300,000 tons of bottled water, including the premium brand Tibet Spring 5100 which, as per the Wall Street Journal, has overtaken Evian and Perrier as the most coveted premium water seller in China. Lobsang Gyaltsen, Chairman of the region, has disingenuously claimed that Beijing wished to “strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection” in the development of the bottled water industry. As if this was not enough, several concessions have also been offered to water manufacturers in the region, with authorities hoping to raise bottled water output to five million tons by 2017. Concerns have been raised by academics as to the impact on environmental protection. Canadian water activist Maude Barlow says that “The bottled water industry is one of the most polluting industries on earth, and one of the least regulated.” An article in the Vermont Law School journal reveals that the industry in China has “antiquated and lax regulations”, and highlights the energy intensive nature of bottled water production. Considering that the mega dam projects are routinely being pushed through without adequate environmental impact assessments, it is not a stretch to assume that bottling plants may be getting past with even more lax controls. Known as the world’s Third Pole, the glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau feed the Salween, Mekong, Yangtze, Yellow River, Indus, Ganges and the Brahmaputra. Collectively, these rivers directly sustain 1.3 billion people. Relentless pollution by the expanding footprints of Chinese industry has led to climatic change and to average temperatures on the plateau rising thrice the global speed. Even according to Chinese scientists, 95 percent of these glaciers are now receding. The retreat and melting of these glaciers will first lead to massive flooding along each river, and then rapidly lead to chronic and devastating water shortages for billions. While the development of several hydroelectric power plants in the area is lowering reliance on thermal energy, concerns have arisen over the magnitude of the new construction – and its effect on the paths of the great rivers. Many countries downstream have already protested such development.For Tibetans, more dam construction will lead to a reduced rate of flow of the rivers that sustain them, making subsistence farming unpredictable for those dependent upon it. A 2003 report on “Ecological Improvement and Environmental Protection in Tibet” published by the Chinese authorities, mentions that Tibet before 1950 was “in a state of passive adaptation to natural conditions and one-way exploitation of natural resources”. The Chinese are being disingenuous at best, and malicious at worst, by ignoring the sustainable agriculture practices that existed among nomadic Tibetans. Historically, Tibetan Drogpas have been the protectors of the great Tibetan grasslands. Development policy expert Gabriel Lafitte says that: ‘nomadic knowledge of how, when and where to graze, and the nomadic willingness to live in portable woven yak hair tents, summer and winter, with their animals, kept the pasture free of invasive toxic weeds, erosion, shrub invasion, and infestations of pests’. Under the commune system, starting in 1958, Chinese authorities moved the herders into small communes and stripped them of their possessions. They were forced to adhere to quotas of production, leading to greatly expanded herd sizes. Ignoring nomadic advice as backward and irrational, the authorities pressed forward until the late 1970s, when the communes collapsed, with depleted grasslands and unsustainably large herds. Land reform in the 1990s offered a glimpse of hope in that it gave nomads long-term leases over pastures, encouraging the same traditional modes of care. However, other policies gradually encroached on the mobility of the nomads, and limits on family and herd size were made compulsory. These concurrent policies failed spectacularly due to a lack of understanding on part of the authorities, who promptly scape goateed the nomads, pushing through the Restore Grasslands Policy in 2003. This nullified the traditional biodiversity conservation skills of the nomadic people. Nomads were forcefully resettled into villages. The overuse of the 1950s continues to affect the ecological situation today, which is now being worsened by mining, agriculture and road construction in the region. Indeed, the resettlement of nomads has also led to negative consequences. Research has shown that a certain sustainable amount of grazing is better for the grasslands than leaving them completely open as was done after 2003. The actions of the authorities in the region have exposed the once-vibrant grasslands to desertification, further damaging the ecology of Tibet. Chinese practices in Tibet can be seen at best as damaging, and at worst as actively exploitative. The massive water transfer projects will lead to the diversion of important riverine resources; the bottled water industry is essentially unregulated. Mining projects continue unchecked, with foreign firms invited to participate in the plundering of Tibet. Dam construction threatens local ecosystems and the flow of rivers that sustain billions of people – and is done without environmental impact assessments. The forced resettlement of nomadic tribes has led to the degradation of grasslands and the encroachment of deserts into once-living areas. All of these threaten the people of Asia, dependent upon Tibet as a water source. More acutely, however, they represent the Chinese attitude to Tibet and Tibetans as a people. The lack of respect for native customs is indicative of the disdain with which Tibet is treated; the eager seizure of natural resources shows a lack of willingness to understand Tibet itself. Indeed, the manner in which China is administering Tibet in regards to ecological issues is similar to the way European powers once exploited their colonies for their natural bounties.It would be wise now to remember that those colonies were, and continue to be, ravaged by the damage perpetrated on their environment and their cultures. So, the 50th anniversary of Tibet Autonomous Region on September 1 will be an occasion of pride and self-congratulation for Beijing, but for Tibet, only another opportunity to count what it has lost and might never regain – the autonomy of its ecology, of its culture, and its way of life. The trade-off is scary, but who in Beijing is listening? (ANI)

Late on Aug. 27, frantic villagers tried to extinguish flames engulfing 55-year-old mother Tashi Kyi. By 3 a.m., on Aug. 28, she was dead. Tashi self-immolated after authorities bulldozed houses that failed to provide the right paperwork in a small Tibetan village in China’s Sangchu County.
Ten other Tibetans in Sangchu have self-immolated over the past three years, including Tashi’s 18-year-old nephew, Sangay Tashi. In 2012, Sangay called for the return of Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, before setting himself ablaze.
“His self-immolation was also an act of protest against the actions and brutalities of the Chinese government,” Sangay’s brother, Jamyang Jinpa, wrote in a letter published online in early September.
Tibet has been both the testing ground and the blueprint for Beijing’s strategies for dealing with religious minorities in other parts of the country — from Muslim Uighurs, to its long-running campaign against Christianity. And as China marks 50 years of governance in Tibet this week, Beijing continues to ignore complaints over its heavy-handed rule.
On Sept. 8, Beijing staged a huge set-piece anniversary event outside Lhasa’s Potala Palace — the former residence of the Dalai Lama. As part of the event, a 65-member government delegation warned of an even tougher stance against Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader.
“Tibet has entered a new stage of sustained stability after people of all ethnic groups together fought against separatism, successfully foiling attempts by the 14th Dalai Lama group and international hostile forces,” Politburo member Yu Zhengsheng said in a speech at the ceremony where he dished out gifts, including electric blenders for making Tibetan yak butter tea. All week, the Communist Party has presented a positive, unified message on Tibet.
Yu spoke of guaranteeing religious freedom. A new government white paper issued on Sept. 6 offered assurances that the Tibetan people would have the right “to participate equally in the management of state affairs”.
State broadcaster CCTV screened a documentary juxtaposing Tibetan children studying in modern classrooms with the region’s pristine, snow-capped landscape.
And a new museum exhibition, opened in Lhasa on Sept. 7, which displayed photos of development projects and one key economic statistic from Beijing: gross domestic product multiplied almost 300 times in Tibet since the Communist Party took over in 1965. GDP was valued at 92 billion yuan (US$14.4 billion) last year.

Opaque development
Beijing has long justified its heavy-handed development in Tibet as a program that has raised living standards. But separating fact from fiction in Tibet has been difficult. Access to Tibet is restricted — foreigners require special permits to travel to the area and are required to stay in groups, as in North Korea. And foreigners are not allowed in at all during March, the anniversary of one of many Tibetan uprisings under Communist Party rule.
After 50 years of Chinese rule, it’s still “impossible” for outsiders to gain independent access to Tibet, said Michael Buckley, one of just a handful of overseas journalists to spend extended periods there.
“[You are] still blocked off from contact with Tibetans unless you have an interpreter and it’s highly risky for Tibetans to be interviewed,” he said.
Buckley’s book, “Meltdown in Tibet,” published in December 2014, paints a damning picture of the impact of China’s development on the fragile environment, contradicting Beijing’s upbeat narrative.
While party officials speak of the schools built-in Tibet, Buckley counters that China spent more on the railway line to Lhasa completed in 2006 than on the entire health care and education budgets since invading Tibet in 1950.
“The railway is now expanding east and west of Lhasa,” said Buckley. “These railways enable large numbers of Chinese migrant workers to come into Tibet, and enable large-scale exploitation of Tibet’s resources economically.”
Finding out whether the slew of hydropower dams and copper, iron and lead mines built in Tibet in recent years have benefited normal Tibetans is, again, challenging. Tibet Mineral Development Company and China Gold International Resources Corp — both of which operate mines in Tibet — did not respond to emailed questions.
Similarly, campaign groups have complained that the more than one dozen Canadian mining companies operating in Tibetan areas have failed to give feedback on how their operations contribute to the livelihoods of Tibetans.
Often, only when tragedies occur has it has been possible to pin down how many ethnic Tibetans work on the big infrastructure projects that dominate Beijing’s GDP figures for the region. Of 83 miners killed in a huge landslide in March 2013 at a site operated by a state-owned company, just two were ethnic Tibetans. The rest were Han Chinese. Anecdotal evidence suggests infrastructure projects in the world’s highest region have devastated the environment, as noted in Buckley’s book. But again, few independent studies exist separating China’s impacts from the effects of global pollution.
Changing landscape
A Chinese priest who declined to be named for security reasons said the negative impacts on Tibet’s environment were evident on repeat visits in recent decades. “When I visited a Tibet county above 5,000 feet [1,500 meters] two years ago, it had changed so much. The snow on the mountain had melted and the water level had dropped,” the priest said.
Like many visitors to Tibet, he noted that Chinese development remains dominated by projects that destroy the environment, raising tensions with ethnic Tibetans who consider the landscape sacred, a part of their Buddhist faith. In the half-century that China has ruled Tibet, similar policies have been instituted in cycles targeting ethnic minorities and religions.
Elsewhere, the government has long suppressed the Muslim Uighur minority. A “strike-hard” campaign initiated in May has triggered a period of intense persecution against Uighurs. In Zhejiang province, Christians have been devastated by a two-year cross-removal campaign. While the actions against Zhejiang Christians have been pushed by local authorities, many observers believe such a long-standing campaign must have tacit approval from Beijing.Taken together, such actions underscore the Communist Party’s fear of organized religion as a potential alternative power base to the party itself. The severity of these actions has depended on the threat level perceived by Beijing, notes Fenggang Yang, director of Purdue University’s Center on Religion and Chinese Society. “At the minimum, the Chinese Communists in their gut have deep suspicion and distrust in religious leaders even if they seem to be amicable toward religious believers and leaders during the good times,” he said.
By adamantly refusing to consider the generous proposal called ‘Middle Way” offered by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Red China placed herself on a slippery slope and no one can save the Evil Red Empire from downfall.

Direct control For Tibetans, this week’s anniversary marking Chinese rule only brings more uncertainty. In its Sept. 6 white paper, Beijing rejected a “middle way” approach, put forward by the Dalai Lama, which proposed more autonomy for Tibet.
While sidelining Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, Chinese authorities have further eroded religious freedoms, said Tsomo Tsering, director of the Tibet Center for Human Rights and Democracy in Dharamsala, northern India.
“It’s ridiculous. Sometimes Tibetans will keep images of the Dalai Lama, and the simple act of keeping pictures of their own spiritual leaders is criminalized,” said Tsomo, who works with informants on the ground in Tibet.
Since 2011, authorities have replaced members of monastery management committees with officials who work directly for the government. Small police stations have been built inside some monasteries. This year, authorities ordered all Buddhist monasteries to fly Chinese flags and display pictures of party leaders. “The problem is that the whole of religion is now directly controlled by the Chinese government,” Tsomo said.
By adamantly refusing to consider the generous proposal called ‘Middle Way” offered by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Red China placed herself on a slippery slope and no one can save the Evil Red Empire from downfall.
Tibet Awareness – Red China Looting and Plundering Tibet
Red China’s practices in Tibet; her indiscriminate taking of Tibetan national assets causing severe environmental pollution with toxic chemicals, massive hydro projects leading to major ecological disaster in Tibet, have to be treated as War Crimes. Red China must be tried by a War Crimes Tribunal and held accountable for stealing Tibet’s national wealth and property.
Red China used her military force to attack Tibet and occupied the country since 1950. After driving His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama into exile, Red China unleashed a systematic campaign to loot, plunder, pillage, sack, ransack, steal, and despoil Tibetan natural resources without any concern for international law. Red China is encouraging foreign companies to join her in illegal exploration for mineral wealth and criminal mining operations. Such activities get media attention if a disaster strikes mining operation. Gold and Copper mining operations in Gyama Valley, Maizhokunggar County of Lhasa came to world’s attention when a massive landslide on March 29, 2013 killed 83 employees of Tibet Huatailong Mining Development Company, subsidiary of the state-run China National Gold Group. Red China is world’s largest producer of Gold and other Rare Earth Minerals.

Schoolchildren waved flags and paramilitary troops marched in full battle dress at a mass spectacle China staged Tuesday to mark 50 years since establishing Tibet as an ethnic autonomous region firmly under Beijing’s control.
The event lauded Tibet’s economic successes under Communist Party rule, even as activists criticized its record on human rights.
Top political adviser Yu Zhengsheng stressed Tibet’s unity with the rest of China in his address to thousands gathered in front of the stunning Potala Palace in the regional capital of Lhasa, once home to the Dalai Lama and now a museum.
“During the past 50 years the Chinese Communist Party and the Tibetan people have led the transformation from a backward old Tibet to a vibrant socialist new Tibet,” Yu told the audience of schoolchildren, soldiers, armed police and party officials applauding and waving flags.
People’s living standards have improved, infrastructure has been built across Tibet and its gross domestic product had grown 68 times, Yu said at the ceremony broadcast live on state television.
Yu’s speech was followed by a parade of goose-stepping marchers carrying the national emblem of China, along with portraits of past and present leaders, including President Xi Jinping. Dancers and musicians in traditional Tibetan dress also performed, although there was no visible participation by representatives of the Buddhist clergy that forms the backbone of the Himalayan region’s traditional culture.
Beijing sent troops to occupy the Himalayan region following the 1949 communist revolution. The government says the region has been part of Chinese territory for centuries, while many Tibetans say it has a long history of independence under a series of Buddhist leaders.
The region’s traditional Buddhist ruler, the Dalai Lama, fled in 1959 amid an abortive uprising against Chinese rule, and continues to advocate for a meaningful level of autonomy under Chinese rule.
China established the Tibetan autonomous region in 1965, one of five ethnic regions in the country today. While Tibet is nominally in charge of its own affairs, its top officials are appointed by Beijing and expected to rule with an iron fist. The region incorporates only about half of Tibet’s traditional territory, is closed to most foreign media and has been smothered in multiple layers of security ever since deadly anti-government riots in 2008.
Reinforcing the importance of strict control from Beijing, the party’s central committee said in a statement that; “Only by sticking to the CPC’s (Communist Party’s) leadership and the ethnic autonomy system, can Tibetans be their own masters and enjoy a sustainable economic development and long-term stability.” Referring to the Dalai Lama, Yu said activities by him and others to “split China and undermine ethnic unity have been defeated time and time again.”
Free Tibet, a London-based rights group, said Beijing was trying to define Tibetan identity according to its priorities, and that Tibetans suffered restrictions on movement, censorship and lived in a system designed to punish opposition to the Beijing government.
“If Tibet’s people have a good news story to tell, why doesn’t Beijing let them freely tell it or give the world’s media the opportunity to freely see it?” the group said. The 80-year-old Dalai Lama is in Britain this month for speaking engagements and had no immediate comment.
Tuesday’s event reflects Xi’s taste for organized spectacle, in a throwback to the mass rallies common in the early decades of communist rule. It comes less than a week after a massive military parade in Beijing to mark 70 years since Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II.

Do you have expectations of this week’s summit between President Obama and President Xi? If so, I suggest you lower them.
The sombre fact is that despite the enormous range and complexity of the US-China relationship, it is becoming ever harder to manage. The smiles and ceremony of a 21-gun salute and state dinner will conceal gritted teeth and crossed fingers.
A game of brinkmanship is afoot and on cyber-hacking and contested atolls, it would need a reclamation project bigger and swifter than the one under way in the South China Sea for guest and host to find a piece of common ground to stand on.
But spin it another way and there should be something to celebrate.
Four and a half decades, five Chinese communist leaders, eight American presidents, and a transition from a world in which China is isolated and marginal to one in which it is increasingly able to meet the United States on equal terms.
And through it all, the US-China relationship has broadly held to the course that President Nixon set out in 1972 as he prepared to travel to Beijing to end two decades of enmity:
“The government of the People’s Republic of China and the government of the United States have had great differences. We will have differences in the future. But what we must do is to find a way to see that we can have differences without being enemies in war.”

Forty-three years later an ambitious Chinese leader is coming for his first state visit in the opposite direction and the challenge is still the same. But now the stakes are even higher for this relationship and it has all the advantages of experience and proven resilience. What makes it so hard then?
‘Properly manage differences‘
Only last week, President Obama issued a blunt warning to China on cyber-hacking: “There comes a point at which we consider this a core national security threat… we can choose to make this an area of competition, which I guarantee you we’ll win if we have to.”
Only a scrambled visit by China’s security chief for what the White House described as “candid, blunt discussions” seems to have averted American sanctions.
Meanwhile, in the South China Sea, the latest satellite imagery from this month suggests that even during a summit countdown, Beijing is ready to defy American warnings and possibly even renege on its own promises to continue reclamation work to turn contested atolls into military outposts.
Is President Xi about to waste a huge opportunity? Ahead of the state visit he said: “Both sides must accommodate each other’s core interests, avoid strategic miscalculation, and properly manage and control differences.”
TIBET AWARENESS – UNITED STATES – CHINA RELATIONS. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP CLAIMED THAT CHINA IS STEALING JOBS.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Donald Trump has spoken of China stealing American jobs.
But he needs a much, much better speech writer if he is to get heard amid the US media frenzy of a presidential campaign and a papal visit. Already Republican candidates led by DonaldTrump are lining up to complain that China is stealing American jobs and some have said President Xi’s visit should be cancelled or downgraded. US public opinion is increasingly negative on China. President Obama told the media China’s peaceful, orderly rise is in the US’s interest and good for the world.
But President Xi urgently needs to reach out to American politicians and public to explain how it is in the US’s interest. A mix of reassurance, vision and rigour are required, and a measure of charm would no doubt help.
But with a schedule focused on closed-door sessions with big business and tightly choreographed photo opportunities with tame members of the American public, it looks as if President Xi has opted for a risk-averse strategy with minimal substance and candour.
Return to form
Don’t forget this is the man with the Chinese Dream, a plan for what he calls “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”. Implicit is the argument that a great China is not a novelty but a return to form.
For most of the past 2,000 years, China’s economy has accounted for between a quarter and a third of world output and after traumatic shocks delivered by outsiders in the 19th and 20th Centuries, China is on track to overtake the US within the decade and regain its status as the world’s biggest economy.

Image copyright Reuters Image caption China wants a foreign policy that reflects its economic rise.
What’s more, China is intent on building military force and diplomatic clout to match its economic might. The swiftest, surest and cheapest way to all three is through US co-operation, and, sound and fury notwithstanding, it has come to count on that co-operation, at least in the economic sphere.
Without American help, how could China have become the world’s largest manufacturing and trading nation in such breathtakingly short order? Without American help how can China confront the daunting economic challenges it faces today?
But expect no warm speeches on that score from President Xi in Washington.
Model v dream
Deaf to American concerns about market access or technology theft, the Chinese narrative of the relationship presents a version of itself as a much-maligned partner, uncomplainingly creating wealth and bankrolling spendthrift American consumers. China does not export its ideology or send troops abroad, it points out.
President Xi’s preferred slogan for the relationship involves not a dream but a model. He raised it again on the eve of the summit, “the new model of great power relations”. This is shorthand for a future in which the US assists China’s inexorable advance in order to avoid the wars and convulsions which have accompanied the rise of other great powers in world history.
Seen from inside his model, the US record is far from benign. Instead, the US threatens China’s political system by pushing democracy, undermines its territorial integrity by supplying arms to Taiwan and schemes to contain China by surrounding it with American alliances and military deployments.

In fact, part of Mr Xi’s dream is that a rejuvenated China will no longer need to put up with an American security order in Asia at all. But Americans are famous dreamers too.
And especially since China’s opening up and integration into the world economy, many have hoped that in Beijing they might one day have a democratic partner and “responsible stakeholder in keeping the world safe”.
Hostilities
That American version of the Chinese dream is an affront to Mr Xi’s own and as he goes through the protocol motions on the American red carpet, it is no exaggeration to say that he sees his hosts as outright ideological enemies.
He is at least as hostile to their politics as Chairman Mao was in the days of Nixon’s visit, probably more so because of the close and present danger those politics present in a globalised world.
In his first three years in power, President Xi has used anti-corruption and ideological campaigns to stiffen the sinews of the Communist Party and buttress one-party rule. He has censored the discussion of universal values like democracy and freedom of speech, locking up academics, human rights lawyers, civil society activists, journalists, Christians and bloggers.

Chinese propaganda teaches that the US is just the latest in a long line of hostile foreign powers trying to keep China down with a range of ideological weapons including meddling in Hong Kong and befriending the Dalai Lama.
President Xi makes no apology for his politics. “Shoes do not have to be the same but simply to fit the wearer,” he says. He is an authoritarian by conviction who believes China needs discipline and a sense of shared mission to realize its “great rejuvenation.” All of this is admittedly a difficult message to articulate for an American public. But some truths should be attempted for the sake of candour and connection.
President Xi could say that China still has enormous challenges at home and will avoid clashes with the US where possible. But that at the same time he wants a foreign policy that reflects the reality of China’s rise. And that on a range of issues, including rules for investment and climate change, he will co-operate with the US to the advantage of both countries.
He would be wise to attempt a much more nuanced and persuasive case on areas of competition like cybersecurity and the South China Sea. And he needs to show that he can listen and respond to the concerns of Americans. If not always with agreement, at least with understanding.
Now that would truly be powerful and might even presage a “new model of great power relations”.

Tibet Awareness – Compassion, the Foundation of Well-being
TIBET AWARENESS – PAIN AND COMPASSION: I AM SEEKING THE APPLICATION OF COMPASSION AS A PHYSICAL FORCE/POWER/ENERGY THAT CAN UPLIFT TIBETANS FROM PAIN, MISERY, SUFFERING, SORROW AND “DUKHA.”
Pain and suffering and experience of sorrow or “dukha” may have a cause according to the Doctrine of ‘Dependent Origination’. Sorrow or dukha is the result of one’s desires for pleasures, power, and continued existence. In case of Tibetan people, the experience of pain and suffering is the direct consequence of military occupation and foreign conquest of their Land. Historically, Tibetans never experienced foreign domination and direct interference in their daily lives until Red China invaded Tibet in 1950. Before intervention by Red China, Tibetans had always enjoyed freedom as a natural right.
TIBET AWARENESS – PAIN AND COMPASSION: I AM SEEKING THE APPLICATION OF COMPASSION AS A PHYSICAL FORCE TO HELP RED CHINA GET OUT OF TIBET WITHOUT EXPERIENCING PAIN AND SUFFERING.
When man recognizes pain, suffering and sorrow in the lives of others, man experiences spontaneous arousal of feelings of compassion which is called in Sanskrit language as ‘Karuna’, ‘Krupa’, or ‘Daya’. Pain and sorrow are an unavoidable part of human existence, while compassion is innate to human nature. The instinctive response of compassion acts like a physical force, power, or energy for it can uplift man from sorrow. I am seeking for the application of this force of compassion not only to uplift Tibetans from pain, and misery but also to help Red China to get out of Tibet without pain and suffering.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is to give a public talk at The O2 in London on 19 September 2015. Organized by the Tibet House Trust, the talk, entitled ‘Compassion: the Foundation of Well-Being’, will begin at 1pm and will be followed by a Q&A session chaired by psychologist Daniel Goleman.
The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and religious leader had celebrated his 80th birthday with an appearance at Glastonbury Festival in June.
His Holiness released a statement ahead of his 10-day visit to the UK, in which he said: “My life is dedicated to the service of all sentient beings, and in particular I try to help my fellow human beings in whatever way I can. “What unites all sentient beings is that we all naturally seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. Therefore, we have a collective responsibility to try to bring about the well-being and happiness of all living beings and help them overcome their suffering.
“This is the basis of hope on which I make an appeal that we all work enthusiastically to promote ethical values imbued with love and compassion and that we do our best to reduce, if not eliminate, the conflicts and violence that currently beset many parts of the world.”
Rebecca Kane Burton, general manager of The O2, said: “We are honoured that His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be making his public address. The Dalai Lama has visited Britain many times over the years but this is the first time he will address the public at the world’s most popular music and entertainment venue. We know it will be an inspiring and enlightening day.”
The talk at The O2 is the main public event of the Dalai Lama’s visit to the UK.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares his view on solving world problems. Since 1950, Tibet is under military occupation. Over the years, Red China strengthened her military grip over Tibet. The Great Problem of Tibet may not be solved through warfare as it cost in terms of human lives and money appear to be prohibitive. While I contemplate on the futility of human effort, I recognize the role of Compassion in mitigating human pain and misery. In my analysis, Compassion is a Fundamental Force/Power/Energy and its application will have both physical and psychological consequences. I am seeking the application of Compassion as a Physical Force to uplift Tibetans from pain and suffering. This uplifting Force would also help Red China to get out of Tibet without the loss of human lives.

As Doomsayer of Dooma, I predict Red China’s sudden downfall following a sudden, unexpected calamity, catastrophe, disaster, or cataclysmic event which drains Red China’s economic and military power and force her to withdraw People’s Liberation Army from Tibetan territory. As Compassion is the driving Force, Red China gets evicted from Tibet without experiencing pain and suffering that accompanies physical battle.

Using force never solves world problems: Spiritual leader of Tibet
Tuesday, 15 September 2015 17:02 Yeshe Choesang, Tibet Post International
Whole Compassion – How to resolve the Great Problem of Tibet? As Compassion is the driving Force, Red China gets evicted from Tibet without experiencing pain and suffering that accompanies physical battle.
Oxford, UK — The spiritual leader of Tibet His Holiness the Dalai Lama has praised those countries’ plan to welcome thousands of refugees but warned that a long-term solution was needed, saying “generally using force never solves these problems.”
His remarks came at a meeting Oxford, where he inaugurated the “Dalai Lama Centre for Compassion” – which will specialise in the study of ethics – at the start of a 10-day visit to the UK which will include addressing thousands of people at the 02 arena on Saturday.
“I am a human being, just one among the 7 billion alive today. We all face problems, many of them of our own making. And because we made them, we surely have the ability to solve them. I sometimes wish that grown human beings were more like children, who are naturally open and accepting of others.”
“Instead, as we grow up, we fail to nurture our natural potential and our sense of fundamental human values. We get bogged down in secondary differences between us and tend to think in terms of ‘us’ and ‘them’. Prayer will not change this the way education and intelligence can. We need to learn to distinguish emotions like anger and attachment that are destructive from positive ones like compassion that are a source of happiness,” he said.
He went on to explain that as a Buddhist monk he tries to promote religious harmony, drawing inspiration from the example of India, where all major religions flourish side by side. He described the problems and violence that seem to arise from religious faith today as unthinkable since all religious traditions teach us to be compassionate, forgiving and contented. These are qualities relevant to day to day life. Warm-heartedness, for example, generates trust, which is the foundation of friendship.
His Holiness also explained that he is Tibetan with a responsibility towards the many Tibetans who place their trust and hope in him. He is concerned to preserve Tibet’s natural environment, as well as its compassionate, non-violent Buddhist culture.
Asking for his impressions on the European response to the refugee crisis, he said: “I think some, especially Germany, have given a very good response, and Austria. And then this country also now is showing serious consideration about that – wonderful.”
“But then you have to think, it is impossible for everyone outside Europe to come to Europe, impossible. They are taking care about these refugees, a small number, but ultimately we have to think how to reduce this killing in their own countries.
“And the way to reduce that is not using force … in certain cases maybe but generally using force never solves these problems. He said that only education, dialogue, and personal contact could resolve conflicts in the long-term.
Asked his response to the refugee crisis affecting Europe, he appreciated that their welfare is being taken seriously, but added: “Ultimately we have to stop the killing and fighting in these people’s countries that is forcing them to become refugees, but without the use of force. Military might never solves problems, but instead tends to produce unexpected results.”
“So taking care of several thousand refugees is wonderful, but in the mean time you have to think about long-term solutions, how to bring genuine peace and genuine development, mainly through education, for these Muslim countries,” he said.
He added: “Talk about a clash between Western civilization and Islam is mistaken. My Muslim friends tell me that a genuine Muslim should not spill blood, but should show respect to all the creatures of Allah.”
With regard to his hopes for the new Dalai Lama Centre for Compassion, he said he thought it was a commendable effort, but it would be better to see how it develops. As to whether material development had brought any benefit to Tibetans in Tibet, he expressed appreciation of such infrastructure as roads, airports and the railway.
He also observed that President Xi Jinping seems to be more realistic than some of his predecessors and has been courageous about tackling corruption. When pressed about the 60th anniversary of the declaration of the Tibet Autonomous Region he remarked that many Tibetans are deeply sad inside despite pretending to officials that they are happy.
When one journalist asked if His Holiness thought members of the media had a duty to be more positive about what they report, he commented that while they can’t change the world by themselves, they can make a positive contribution to doing so.

Tibet Awareness – The “Correct” Way to Freedom in Tibet
Whole Strategy – The Correct Way to Freedom in Tibet. The Great Problem of Tibet is left on The Back Burner for several decades. How to move forward?
Red China rejects Dalai Lama’s “Middle Way” for Tibet. The global community of nations are not yet ready to take military action to evict the Occupier of Tibet. The problem of the spread of Communism to Asia remains unsolved. The Wars in Korea and Vietnam have concluded without defeating the Enemy to Freedom and Democracy in Asia. I coined the phrase Unfinished Korea-Vietnam War as the Cold War in Asia stubbornly persists without any sign of a new initiative. Now, there is no more ‘Middle Way for Tibet. I am inviting all Tibetans to find the One and the only One “Correct” Way for Tibet, a true and real Way to Freedom. As Doomsayer of Doom Dooma I predict Red China’s sudden, unexpected, unavoidable downfall that will lead to utter ruin of her political, economic, and military power.
Whole Strategy – The Correct Way to Freedom in Tibet. The Great Problem of Tibet is left on The Back Burner for several decades. How to move forward? Freedom in Tibet is just a Stone’s Throw Away.

China has marked the 55th anniversary of the dismantling of Tibet’s government in Lhasa with another explicit rejection of the so-called “middle way” approach of the Dalai Lama that emphasizes autonomy for the region.
In the televised speech Thursday on state-run Tibet TV, the chairman of China’s Tibet Autonomous Region [TAR], Losang Gyaltsen, said the Dalai Lama’s approach is “a camouflaged approach” that seeks Tibet’s independence.
“Tibet cannot be independent, neither can it be a semi-independence or disguised independence,” Gyaltsen said, standing next to China’s national flag.
He added that China’s fight against a “Western enemy force” and the “Dalai Clique” is an important political fight for unity versus separation, democracy versus authoritarianism, and progress versus backwardness.
Kunga Tashi, who works in New York for the exiled Tibetan government, said the statement shows that Chinese leaders are unwilling to compromise to solve the Tibetan problem.
“The middle way approach agrees with the principle [demand] of China,” he said. “We say we are not separating from China, if we get a meaningful autonomy.”
In addition to the speech Thursday, Chinese officials carried out a campaign this week to highlight how much they say conditions have improved in Tibet since China took over.
Beijing frequently cites improved living standards in the region when defending its rule. Tibetan exile MP Kalsang Gyaltsen Bapa said the comparison of old and modern societies is just an excuse.
“China has no historical and legal support to occupy Tibet,” Bapa told VOA Tibetan service, speaking in Tibetan. “So they need to say old Tibet was dark and backward, and they came to develop Tibet. Such policy was used by other colonizers.”
The anniversary, which China calls “Serf Liberation Day,” marks Beijing’s 1959 dismantling of Tibet’s government in Lhasa shortly after the Dalai Lama fled into exile. The date, however, has been officially commemorated only since 2009.
This report was produced in collaboration with the VOA Tibetan service.

“Tibet is inherently belongs to China, also can be traced back to the tang dynasty ago.” Who said it and how much truth in it? I think there are no similarities b/w Chinese N Tibetans! They are two different races, culture, language and political history. Middle way purpose by the Dalai Lama is very realistic solution for both China and Tibet.

Notice how this anonymous poster provides no evidence or even specific facts regarding this outlandish accusation against the Dalai Lama. What we do know is that the CCP is responsible for oppression of Tibetan monk and nuns since the 1950s. Nearly all of Tibet’s 6,000 monasteries were destroyed by the CCP and those that have been rebuilt were largely paid for by local donations.

The day will come when nations of the world ,especially Asians, will unite and overturn paper tiger China. What has been illegally stolen, as Tibet and land from the Uighur’s, will go back to its rightful owners. China is corrupted and polluted to the core. Millions are dying from pollution and nothing is being done. The money factor is much more important than saving their own lives. China wants to brush aside the US and the Western world and take over, but in the end, it is a snake biting its own tail. China should never had copied Western capitalism. Had China been more eco-oriented, the world would have praised its true values, and perhaps would have imitated its leadership, but who wants China now? Only greedy world corporations deviating their national interests and benefitting their own pockets. Yes, money comes first and citizens last.

If you believe in CCP’s fabricated story, you are nothing more than a blind stooge. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the most revered, most loved and respected personality in this world, those who revere him are not a blind and stupid like yourself, they use their own intellect to find the truth by analyzing and with reasoning, and once they find the truth and purity than they believe in that, but for a foolish people like you, chairman Mao becomes God like after murdering 45 millions of Chinese, you don’t know how much suffering he created in China, Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang, it is because with a support from a ignorant and blind nationalist like yourself others who are who supported Mao and CCP in power. If you have such strong nationalist feeling of PRC, why you are living in Canada, why you have to use English name “Jonathan” as your first name? this shows that you are just an opportunist stooge and you don’t know nothing about freedom, justice, humanity and truth on Tibetan issue, for you everything counts on money and materialistic satisfactory, poor you! which is why people like you still remain like puppet, and your poor mentality is dragging your children and grand children to become a slave of CCP, I feel pity on you making such stupid comments on HHDL and non-violent Tibetans.

Mr. Huang is well-known here as a member of the 50 Cent Army paid by the CCP for his pro-CCP statements that parrot CCP propaganda. Notice he provides no evidence or facts to support his outrageous claims. The colonial mentality of the CCP is to accuse Tibetans of being barbaric & backward to justify their 1950 invasion. Why is it that majority of Tibetans want the return of the Dalai Lama and the CCP out of Tibet if Huang’s claims were true?

It is no secret that the US wants to use Tibet as one entrance area to destabilize China. Sadly, under the guise of “supporting” independence for Tibet, the US really doesn’t care for the Tibetans, only for its interests in destabilizing China.
The Tibetan clergy in Lhasa was without a doubt a despotic government – and would be a despotic government again, religion has no other way of governing than despotism – it has nothing to offer beyond religion. The Dalai Lama is dishonest, trying to convince with sly lies – but ignoring the pressure the religious establishment put on young people to self-immolate in protest against Chinese rule. Most Tibetans likely prefer Chinese rule, because it allows them to work for their own good instead of that of the religious establishment, but brainwashing with the supposed good of ‘tradition” and the fear of reprisals may keep many Tibetans silent on their true preference.
It would incumb on the US to stop its false propaganda. As to the Tibetans, there is a lesson to be learned from the recent US instigated events in Ukraine which the US characterized as a fight for freedom and dignity and democracy. Ukraine already was a democracy – maybe not perfect, but nevertheless, democratic. With IMF loans all that freedom and dignity will be summarized as dire poverty of the people, exploitation of their resources and a practically impossible struggle to restore livable conditions.
Is that what Tibetans really want? But that is all the US would have to offer. In comparison, China brought development and tangible improvement away from dire poverty.

Ha!..ha!…ha!…China brought development and improvement in Tibet. No! No! not all, China came to destruct and loot the Tibetan resources, and China truly wants cultural genocide in Tibet. Late Penchen Rinpochey made this public statements just before his death: He said, if we analyze and calculate carefully and find loss and gain on Tibet after the invasion, Peoples Republic of China brought more destruction and suffering rather than truly benefiting Tibet and Tibetan people, after making these strong and sharp points against CCP of PRC, he was poisoned and died a mysterious death in Shigatse, this is the true reality what CCP does if some one speaks the truth for the cause of Tibet. At present all the benefits from the mineral resources from Tibet is taken away to China and the true benefactors from the mineral resources are the politburo leaders and their members in power, not even the Chinese people. Don’t you know that most of the Chinese leaders have overseas bank account, a tax haven? Why? it is because the money they earned is not legal, it is the money they stole while they were in power. Concerning U.S.A. supporting Tibetan independence, it is all nonsense and baseless comments, how can u.S.A. support Tibet’s independence, when they officially says Tibet is a part of China, which means they don’t recognize the sovereignty of Tibet. However, in reality, Tibet is for Tibetans, as China is for Chinese and India is for Indians. Tibet is a sovereign country invaded and occupied by China in 1959. Don’t make excuses of bringing development and false comments, truth will shine and Tibet will be a free country sooner, just wait and watch!

It’s interesting that comrade Huang is unable to provide any response why the CCP won’t allow the UN or any independent investigators or journalists into Tibet to investigate the human rights situation. Only when they are accompanied by CCP officials and given an official tour to showcase Tibet but never any unsupervised or independent investigations. That’s why the CCP has zero credibility on the Tibet issue. They can’t provide verifiable evidence to support their claims. Besides if comrade Huang supports the Crimean referendum then why can’t Tibet & Xinjiang also have a referendum on independence? It seems when it comes to China, it’s do as I say not as I do. Comrade Huang’s earlier posts confirm his colonial mentality. He implicitly recognized that Tibet was invaded & occupied and that Tibetans have no rights. It’s that Stalinist-Leninist-Maoist mentality that tolerates no dissent or opposing views.

If Tibetans are truly happy then open up Tibet to UN and human rights investigators and stop blocking access to Tibet by foreign journalists. Stop censoring the media and allow freedom of speech in China & Tibet. Let Tibetans have self-determination to decide for themselves to live in a free & independent Tibet or part of the PRC.

Someone from Switzerland. Please don’t be a fool, life standard improvement is the first step of reaching freedom and democracy not the opposite. Look what happened to India, Ukraine, Mexico and Thailand, for poor countries, freedom means chaos, riots, genocide! Communist party is very smart and long realized this problem, and that’s why China is the only developing country can remain fast growing and relatively stable. As for Tibetans, my advice is stay calm, learn science, forget Dalai Lama, work hard and make money, if Han Chinese can be rich, so do you! Minorities in China have much more privileges than Hans. Minorities can have more than one child and go to universities with lower GAP. So stop complaining, if you are not richer than Hans, then that’s your problem, either you are stupid or you are lazy!

Does “development and tangible improvement away from dire poverty” excuse the Chinese government’s use of force? Pulling out women’ reproductive organs so as to stop them from having children is just one of the things the use of Chinese force has done to Tibetan civilians. The Chinese government has taken a process of deterioration of Tibetan identity, Tibetans, and not advancement and development. Safety in Tibet cannot be achieved through heavy security.
You might not believe in the Dalai Lama, nor might you believe that the US’s intervention is wholly selfless but that doesn’t matter. The cruelty, the sheer violence in that region is inexcusable. If a society doesn’t recognise freedom of speech, there is no truth. I’m afraid that may be the case for China. It’s true, over the past 20 years the Chinese authorities have allowed Chinese people to emerge from poverty and have access to knowledge and better education. You were able to move around and have access to classes. But there are socio-economic and norm problems to this. Not everyone was able to benefit, and this created a great deal of injustice and tension with those who have not been able to benefit from these reforms.There is reported use of torture, restrictions and control of media, forces, disappearances, extensive human rights violations… and so much more. I’m afraid you have forgotten those who suffer, and those who suffer. Violence is used as a form of keeping power. The national court of Spain made a decision and indicted the PRG for genocide in Tibet.
China is a beautiful country with a rich culture, and Tibet is part of that culture. You speak of poverty and development, and yet you forget human rights. I find it strange, though I don’t judge you. I just want you to know that it is more than just political, and I think that because the Chinese government has a similar view as you of the situation they do not wish to talk to the Dalai Lama, for example. I think that hinders any chance of peace or of unity and, to be frank, it isn’t only about the country but about the people. Even if you are suspicious, and even if you doubt their reasons, you should give someone the chance of expressing themselves and allow the chance of finding some sort of solution that does not involve the genocide of innocent people. You and I are very fortunate to live in the countries we do, and where we are coverage of these issues are not always neutral or received. Neither of us lives there, so it’s hard for us to know or even begin to understand the situation. Just be careful when you speak of the Ukraine and of Tibet, please.

Your comment reveals true Communist intention, brainwashing its own citizens and intimidating foreign aids ( for Tibetans), US might not be genuinely interested in helping Tibetans however Tibetans themselves have found resonance among international communities. The whole concept underlying Tibet crisis began when Communist China illegally sent PLA troops to occupy the region in the name of liberation, China still vindicates its occupation saying Tibetan society was backward and needed to be uplifted, well in international law invading or forcefully occupying other territories in the name of social and economic ( or political) progress is illegal, that was Tibet’s internal matter and it should have been left for Tibetans to solve it.in these 60 years Tibetans in all three historical regions of Tibet have continuously rejected Chinese rule, thousands died, many more locked up in jails, in Panchan Lama’s speech during provincial congregation slammed Communist China of destroying Tibetan culture and political freedom, he further quoted ” Chinese rule has brought more suffering in Tibet ”, few days later he died due to massive heart attack ( it is believed the then party boss of TAR conspired against him)…. Tibetans have no basic freedom, they are forced to accept Official policies, tremendous pressures are levied on monasteries monks are forced to denounce the Dalai lama, they are routinely taught communist history which asked them to accept Tibet being a part of China since ancient time, at least 120 people self immolated in protest against Chinese policies, and it still continues.
With The Dalai Lama relinquishing his political authority to an elected leadership, China has no rights to blame him for Political upheaval in Tibet, Tibetan leadership in Dharamsala has been preaching middle way which basically seeks compromised solution within PRC, by dropping Tibetan independence for political autonomy, Tibetans in Exile have shown willingness to solve Tibet’s problem in peaceful and amiable way. China on the other hand doesn’t even accept Tibet existence, they claim there is no problem in Tibet hence no negotiations are seriously taken by them, in contrary to their claim of progressive and peaceful Tibet we witness heavy military presence in the region, Tibetan cities are manned by armed personnel which can be seen every where, surveillance cameras on rooftops of temples and monasteries are common, Tibetans movement are strictly restricted within the areas of their livelihood, houses are arbitrarily searched, lands are confiscated, nomads are resettled, rivers are increasingly becoming polluted, mining activities in Tibet has increased manifold without local people’s involvement, forced sterilization among many women has been witnessed, list does not ends here there are many more reasons why Tibetans are increasingly becoming frustrated, which results in gravest acts like self immolation but one thing Tibetans have maintained is peace non violence …… wish Chinese govt recognize this and take impeding decisions to de escalate tibet crisis, only solution is dialogue and mutual agreement,

Musings on Good Friday – Personal God vs Impersonal God
Looking at Jesus on Good Friday: The Agony of the Cup vs The Burden of the Cross. The transformation of personal God to impersonal God.
On Friday, April 18, 2025, Good Friday, I reflect upon the unique and special relationship between Jesus, the Son of Man and God. I am alien, foreigner, sojourner, stranger, tenant and traveler with no place to call home.

I describe myself as the alien who carries the burden of the cross as Jesus slowly moves to reach His earthly destination. Jesus is spared from the burden of carrying the cross on the day of His crucifixion.

I describe myself as Simon a Cyrenian bearing the burden of the cross under compulsion and following Jesus. I am in the City of Jerusalem and yet I am an alien for I am not a citizen of Rome, not a citizen of Israel, not a citizen of Judea, and not a citizen of Galilee. I follow Jesus but I have not yet entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth to claim the citizenship status. I reflect upon the Great Struggle, the Agony of the Cup held by Jesus and the Burden of the Cross I carry. The completed act of Crucifixion resolved the Agony of the Cup, the Great Struggle endured by Jesus. I am the alien who is present when Jesus cries out as the Agony of the Cup comes to its conclusion.

I reflect upon the words of Jesus on this Good Friday. Before getting nailed to the Cross, Jesus expresses His special and unique relationship to God by addressing God as Abba or Father. After getting nailed to the Cross, I hear the final seven words cried out by Jesus. The special and unique relationship between the Father and the Son of Man suddenly disappears. The personal God gets transformed into impersonal God.

On this Good Friday, I reflect upon the final words of the Son of Man. His words relate to the words of pain and anguish shared by King David, the King of Israel and the author of the Book of Psalms. The pain is the same. But, the Agony of the Cup and the Burden of the Cross are different. The Agony of the Cup gets revealed to Father. The pain of Crucifixion gets revealed to God. Father vs God. What is the difference? What makes the difference? What is the difference between personal God and impersonal God?

On this Good Friday, I am reflecting upon the difference between the words Father and God, the two different words used by Son of Man before getting nailed to the Cross, and after the completion of the act of Crucifixion that is nearing its conclusion. In my analysis, the difference between Father and God reflects upon the nature of the relationship. The Father-Son relationship, partnership, bonding, association, the coming together, and the yoking cannot be experienced in the God-man relationship which imposes a degree of detachment, estrangement, separation, and alienation. For I describe myself as an alien, I bear the burden of the Cross as I painfully march to the destination when the struggle finally reaches its conclusion, at the ninth hour, I ask myself, “My God, Why have You forsaken me.”

Prayers for Whole Peace and Whole Harmony – Hiroshima Day 2024
Hiroshima Day 2024. 79th Anniversary of US Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima
Yes indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life demands the experience of Peace and Harmony to bring together Whole Foods, Whole People, and Whole Planet. Without the experience of peace and harmony, there can be no experience of Life.
Whole Dude-Whole Planet-Whole Peace-Whole Harmony: Hiroshima Day 2024. 79th Anniversary of US Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
Hiroshima on Tuesday, August 06, 2024 marks the 79th anniversary of the world’s first atomic bombing.
The United States dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, destroying the city and killing 140,000 people. It dropped a second bomb three days later on Nagasaki, killing another 70,000. Japan surrendered on Aug. 15, ending World War II and Japan’s nearly half-century of aggression in Asia.
Tuesday, August 06, 2024. Whole Dude reflects upon 79th Anniversary of US Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima
Whole Dude-Whole Planet-Whole Peace-Whole Harmony. Prayer for Well-being be unto all, Peace be unto all, Fulfillment be unto all, and Prosperity be unto all. O’ LORD, Let there be Peace, Perfect Peace and Whole Peace in all the realms of human existence.
The idea of peace is always part of the idea of well-being and good health. The idea of perfect well-being also includes ideas of inner peace, tranquility, and harmony. The physical, mental, and social well-being are a part of man’s well-being in the environment, and community where he lives. To achieve perfect peace or Whole Peace, we must include the dimensions of the man’s moral, and spiritual well-being apart from the physical, mental, and social well-being. The aspects of external and internal or inner peace work together to contribute a Blissful Existence while man experiences Joy in his mind, and Love in his heart. Hence, peace is not mere absence of war and strife.
Whole Dude, Whole Self or Whole Person lives in a perfect, and whole state of bliss if his physical, mental, social, moral, and spiritual well-being is assured. I seek this Whole Peace as a Blessing from LORD GOD Creator.
Whole Dude-Whole Planet-Whole Peace-Whole Harmony. The Shanti Mantra invokes Peace, Perfect Peace, and Whole Peace as a Blessing received from Lord God Creator. Om, Sarvesham Svastir Bhavatu, Sarvesham Shantir Bhavatu, Sarvesham Purnam Bhavatu, Sarvesham Mangalam Bhavatu, Om, Shanti,Shanti, Shanti Hi.
I say, the concept of Whole Peace relates to the physical, mental, social, moral, and spiritual well-being of the man in his environment, and community. What do you say?
Hiroshima Day 2024: The idea of peace is always part of the idea of well-being and good health. The idea of perfect well-being also includes ideas of inner peace, tranquility, and harmony.

The Doomed Presidency of Nixon-Ford US administration

Whole Dude – Whole Karma – August 09, 1974. I served the first non-elected Vice President and non-elected President in my quest for Freedom and Democracy in Occupied Tibet.
On August 08, 1974, on an evening televised address, President Richard M. Nixon announces his intention to become the first president in American history to resign. With impeachment proceedings underway against him for his involvement in the Watergate affair, Nixon was finally bowing to pressure from the public and Congress to leave the White House. “By taking this action,” he said in a solemn address from the Oval Office, “I hope that I will have hastened the start of the process of healing which is so desperately needed in America.”

On August 09, 1974, I never expected or imagined that I will live my life in a City called Ann Arbor. I never expected or anticipated that the Antislavery Campaign (Repeal PRWORA Project) will become the central focus of my life while living on the US soil. My Struggle for Freedom and Democracy in Occupied Tibet continued under the Ford presidency but his succession is not consistent with the basic principles of democratic governance.

UNUSUAL SUCCESSION MAKES FORD PRESIDENT ON AUGUST 09, 1974
Whole Dude – Whole Karma – August 09, 1974. I served the first non-elected Vice President and non-elected President in my quest for Freedom and Democracy in Occupied Tibet.
In accordance with his statement of resignation the previous evening, Richard M. Nixon officially ends his term as the 37th president of the United States at noon. Before departing with his family in a helicopter from the White House lawn, he smiled farewell and enigmatically raised his arms in a victory or peace salute. The helicopter door was then closed, and the Nixon family began their journey home to San Clemente, California. Richard Nixon was the first U.S. president to resign from office.
Minutes later, Vice President Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as the 38th president of the United States in the East Room of the White House. After taking the oath of office, President Ford spoke to the nation in a television address, declaring, “My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.”
Ford, the first president who came to the office through appointment rather than election, had replaced Vice President Spiro Agnew only eight months before. In a political scandal independent of the Nixon administration’s wrongdoings in the Watergate affair, Agnew had been forced to resign in disgrace after he was charged with income tax evasion and political corruption. In September 1974, Ford pardoned Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while in office, explaining that he wanted to end the national divisions created by the Watergate scandal.

On this day in 1974, one day after the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford is sworn in as president, making him the first man to assume the presidency upon his predecessor’s resignation. He was also the first non-elected Vice President and non-elected President, which made his presidency unique.
Nixon leaves office
Having announced his resignation the day before, Richard M. Nixon steps down from the presidency of the United States and is succeeded by Vice President Gerald R. Ford. Nixon had resigned rather than face almost certain impeachment because of the Watergate Scandal.
In my analysis, Nixon-Kissinger Vietnam Treason predetermined my slave status while I live in a Free Nation.
