China has Killed "Hundreds of Thousands" in Tibet, Dalai Lama
One of our commenters complained that I had not noted that the Dalai Lama said that China had killed "hundreds of thousands of Tibetans" in the interview I cited. Actually, it was a different speech, which you can read about here. He also said, among other things that Tibet had been turned into a "hell on earth" and that Tibetans could expect years more of fruitless negotiations with China. Pretty grim stuff. I'm not sure where the hundreds of thousands figure comes from and yes, it does seem as though it was plucked from the air. We'll see if there's any more detail forthcoming. Meanwhile, our colleague Madhur is currently in Dharamsala and filed this report.

Lesson for today don't get even...get odd!
1. Be a FUNdamentalist. Ensure that the FUN always comes before the MENTAL. Realize that life is a situation comedy that will never be cancelled. A laugh track has been provided and the reason we are put in the material world is to get more material from that track. Have a good laughsitive twice a day, which will ensure regularity.
2. Remember that each of us has been given a special gift just for entering, so you are already a winner!
3. The most powerful tool on the planet today is Tell-A-Vision. That's where I tell a vision to you and you tell a vision to me. That way, if we don't like the programming we're getting, we can change the channel.
4. Life is like photography -- you use the negative to develop. No matter what adversity you face, be reassured: of course God loves you. . .
5. It is true: as we go through life thinking heavy thoughts, thought particles tend to get caught between the ears and cause a condition called "truth decay." Be sure to use mental floss twice a day, and when you're tempted to practice 'tantrum yoga', remember what we teach in the Swami's Absurdiveness Training Class: don't get EVEN, get ODD.
6. If we want world peace, we must let go of our attachments and truly live like nomads. That's where I no mad at you and you no mad at me. That way there will surely be nomadness on the planet. Peace begins with each of us. A little peace here, a little peace there. Pretty soon all the peaces will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.
7. I know, great earth changes have been predicted for the future, so if you're looking to avoid earthquakes, my advice is simple: when you find a fault, don't dwell on it.
8. There's no need to change the world. All we have to do is toilet train the world and we'll never have to change it again.
9. If you're looking for the key to the Universe, I've got some good news, and some bad news. The bad news: there is no key to the Universe. The good news: it was never locked.
10. Finally, everything I've told you is 'channeled'. That way, if you don't like it, it's not my fault. But, remember: enlightenment is not a bureaucracy, so you don't have to go through channels.

Simon,
I actually complained that in an interview with a German press, the Dalai Lama accuse Chinese police staged the 2008 Lhasa riot and you failed to mention it. And the figure China had killed “hundreds of thousands of Tibetans” you can find here.

Hell or Paradise, all seems very strong religion words, maybe in the next step, the DL will call a holly war against China.

What hell! I am quite suprised how Simon and other reporters could return from the hell?

Another good news from China. Apparently, you can resolve any problem in business negotiation very rapidly in China.
See, what most people call hell could be heaven for some.

A few hundred thousand ? That's nothing compare with what Hans did to Hans in the 50's and 60's. Tibetans should count themselves lucky. If the CCP did what they did to the rest of China in Tibet, all Tibetans would be wiped out then, and CCP doesn't have to finish the job now.

@johnsmith9876:
Yes. There were many Han Chinese died during CCP (which are mostly Han Chinese too)'s political movements, but how could it prove that “Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans were killed by CCP as well?
Even DL failed to provide some lists with identified names of the so-called “killed hundreds of thousands of Tibetans”, what made you so sure the reality of the killing of “hundreds of thousands”? DL did provide a list of “died Tibetans in 3.14 Incident”. However, this list has been proved as a fake. Several people on that list are still alive, while the rest of them simply do not exist at all.
Today, Mar. 10th, is such a rememberable date in human right history. Fifty years ago, DL was forced to flee out of Tibet. It meant that the bloody and dark Tibetan serfdom was fundamentally kicked into history. The issues on Tibetan serfdom has been so sensitive to him that DL had several times refused or avoided to answer on the questions, such as “What does he want to say on CCP's accusing him as a political and spiritual head of the Tibetan serfdom?” And, thanks to the western journalists, like you Simon, this kind of questions were all censored from western news papers.

@conscienceinchina:
Thank you so much. I have been thinking to make such a list for a long time. The people on your blacklist are the people, who I even want to thank since such a long time ago.Great and all-heart wishes to all you listed people. Your posts with strong sense of justice have told the world a real Tibet, which is completely different from the Tibet politically propagandized by western media. Your work is fully appreciated by the people willing to know the truth on Tibet. And, your country and people cannot be proud of you anymore.
Again, conscienceinchina, thank you so much. Personally and particularly, for listing me on it as well.

This is just a reminder for Americans who are lack of knowledge. In 1995, US State Department reiterated its position during the hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:
"The United States considers the Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR (hereinafter referred to as "Tibet") as part of the People's Republic of China. This longstanding policy is consistent with the view of the entire international community, including all China's neighbors: no country recognizes Tibet as a sovereign state. Moreover, U.S. acceptance of China's claim of sovereignty over Tibet predates the establishment of the People's Republic of China. In 1942, we told the Nationalist Chinese government then headquartered in Chongqing (Chungking) that we had "at no time raised (a) question" over Chinese claims to Tibet."
BTW: I am on my own behavior. I have been studying and living in Houston for almost 10 years .... So don't try to bash me as CCP web police. I paid by the state of Texas. And I have no any interest to discuss anything with trollers, racists, haters like: johnsmith, singh, and other new similar beings. Just do whatever you wanna do, and say whatever you wanna say. Just show your pathetic mindsets in whatever way you like. I don't care. And I am not reading any of your comments. I just read and comment for time.com articles.

I should say again Simon's latest blog entries deserve my respect, as a professional journalist.
Not that I believe in and agree with every single words he had said, but that he had started to take a more objective approach on reporting, which is what a professional reporter sopposed to do ... I think.
As a reporter you should certainly put the Chinese government under scrutiny.
At the same time, folks such as DaLiar Lama and his regime, should also not be exampted from being closely watched in terms of what they do and what they say; what they want you to believe and what you can actually belief based on the facts you see by your own eyes.
At the end of the day, we as individuals should constantly examine our own "beliefs" against the "facts" and the logics amongst the "facts". As "beliefs" that are not based on concrete "facts" and the reasonable "logics", are "superstition", and worse, they may not be too far away from "cults". -

Bookevil,
I simply expressed my own opinions as an individual citizen of this planet, often about the blog entries I read, sometimes about my disgust towards the disgusting behaviour of a few as presented on this blog. -

For God sake, Simon's colleague's recent report on life in Dharamsala finally unveils a very import "fact" that was completed neglected by the western media a year ago:
That the 3-14 riot (or uprising, or whatever you wish to call it, depending on where your butt sit on the planet) was intentionally coordinated by DaDair and/or his regime via high-tech communication channels such as text messaging and blog.
I certianly can't blame them for their act as they were fighting a war.
But I blame them for having lied to the world by claiming that they had nothing to do with the riot.
I blame them for acting as a warrior but at the same time pretending to be a peace-lover.
I blame them for fooling the world (perhaps the western world) by claiming ownership of buddhism.
I blame the western media for intentionally (or not intentionally, but then unprofessionally) acting as the propaganda machine of Dharamsala. -

Tibet has many monks, for each monk it takes many serfs to serve them. It was true during the European medieval period, it is true in Tibet. Western nations love to spread the gospel of democracy, but for Tibetans, all they deserve is theocracy. Last time a theocracy was born, it was in Iran, and United States got a headache ever since.

五毛们,向我开炮吧!哈哈哈哈!
你们可千万不要做贼心虚,又干出“此地无银三百两”的傻事来,在天下人面前自报家门,自揭身份。你们哪里看见有“黑名单”几个字?干吗一看见自己的马甲就心惊肉跳?其实这是一份“红名单”,“红卫兵”的“红”;“一颗红心向着党”的“红”;“祖国江山一片红”的“红”……你们为党国作出了巨大贡献,党会记住你们的功劳,就凭这一份名单,你们就可在党妈妈那里领取赏金了。好好干!继续努力!! -

To the "johnsmear":
"Blacklist"? Where have you found such word? Why do you always get such guilty and sensitive just saying "there's no silver but 300 liang(此地无银三百两)"? That's a "Red list" indeed! You are your fellows can get reward from your "party-mom" taking this "Red list". Keep working!-------------------------------------------

Congratulation!
You can put most Chinese in you list of Wu Mao on the issue of Tibet.
If this is the way you see people who disagree with, then you are no difference as the evil communist party. -

I said it before and I am saying it again. Hollywood, Coca Cola, and drugs are bigger threat to Tibetan culture than any Chinese policy. Read the link and find out how Tibetan youth in India have become drug addicts and are being looked down upon by locals. It would be long before any anti-Tibetans riot breaks out in India. -

Donations cash:
International Campaign for Tibet
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit
Positions:
China should end human rights abuses in Tibet
China should directly engage the Dalai Lama to find a negotiated solution for the Tibetan people
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be A Voice for TibetYour voice and money can make all the difference in the world.
Since 1988, the International Campaign for Tibet has brought together citizens around the world to make the voice of Tibet heard.
Even a small effort can turn into big results.
Grassroots support has secured release of monks and nuns who were languishing in prison. It also made the difference when Congress voted to award His Holiness the Dalai Lama the Congressional Gold Medal.
Now we need your help to build our networks for our next challenge: to make sure the Obama administration and Secretary of State Clinton break new ground to help the Tibetan people.
It's time for the chinese immigrant to take a much stronger stand in support of the non-violent Tibet movement!
So please take a moment to invite your friends to join us. Together, each of our voices can make a big difference.
Thank you for standing with Tibet, the Dalai Lama and ICT.
