		<description>Dalai Lama Dilemma. 
 
By:  Jordan C. Fan,  Prophet of Environment.
 
While the Dalai Lama has received unprecedented attentions by ignorant Westerners, his theology is really too ordinary to even sweep across Chinese minds.   In our mysterious Far East, people like Dalai Lama are everywhere and simply too numerous to be of any interest to anyone.  This is true not just near the Himalayas but also in every town, village and house across China, India and Indochina.   Although I am a Prophet or Grand Master of all clairvoyants, there are countless others with minor abilities to communicate with the spiritual world.
   
There are millions of people including other Buddhist monks in China who can tell the fortune of other individuals with extreme accuracy even up to the hour about when a person would die.    Some people could, on a routine basis, communicate with the dead or evil spirits everyday.   They could also pinpoint the exact locations with instructions from a ghosts to know exactly where they had hidden certain objects of importance.   Others could conduct seances to summon spirits from another world who are truly present at the scenes.    The Chinese “Hitting of the Not So Big Man” similar to voodoo could injure or even kill people hundreds if not thousands of miles away.   Southeast Asian Goong Tauu could force some people’s cheating love ones’ miraculously return to homes from far away places or face fatal consequences.   A lot of people can write thousands of pages of meaningful texts automatically without even opening up their eyes or use their minds.   All these should serve as warnings to Americans and Europeans not to mess around with Asians or we will definitely strike back.
 
Those European and American Dalai Lama supporters are in fact teasing and laughing at the Tibetans and other Buddhists for not being allowed to conceive by drawing the world’s attention on them.   Such practices of abstinent are no strangers to Asian cultures.  There were always thousands of eunuchs resided in Asian palaces through the centuries.    All were not allowed to conceived for the security of those monarchies.   Then there are always people who simply refuse to have sex.  Americans have always joked about the baldness of Tibetans.  Quite obviously, they should first laugh at Obama because even his name is bald!   Obama supports Tibetans simply due to their common hair styles and to defeat China but use other reasons as excuses.   Those foreigners are simply trying to be nasty in taking this opportunity to humiliate at Eastern culture.  Such unethically foreign habits must be frowned upon and stopped by all Asians immediately.
 
People similar to the Tibetans can be found everywhere in the United States.   First, there are special ancient religious tribes such as Jews, Shakers, Mormons, Amish, Mennonite and many more...  There are also new denominations and cults.  Many of them occupy exclusive area almost comparable to Tibet.   I won’t even dare to count those many numerous native Indian tribes and sub-tribes.  There are also Cajuns and others groups living in the Louisiana Bayou and Florida Everglades.    Many atrocities such as the massacre at Waco, Texas by the U. S. FBI, under the direction of Democrats, were examples of the American government’s mistreatments of minorities, so why don’t the Europeans criticize Americans?   If I discussed such problems in Europe, it will take me an extra ten years and another ten thousand pages.  I am not sure I will live that long?
 
Now we should discuss the issues of majorities, minorities, tribes and nomads living in China.  Nomads, similar to gypsy, are foreigners who are passing through China and should not be counted as minorities but migrants or foreigners.   There are in fact more than ten thousand majorities and minorities living in China.  In addition to Han, Manchurian, Mongolian, Muslim and Tibetan who should really be considered as majorities not minorities because there are other tribes living in Sichuan and Yunnan who are truly minorities.   In additional Hakka, Cantonese, South China Sea Islanders, Taiwanese and Shanghai people should also be counted as minorities which may also deserve some special and favorable treatments.   In addition, there are always many people in different towns and villages who have very different cultural habits different from ordinary Chinese who wanted to counted as distinct people.    The population of some of those people could even equal to the Tibetan population if not exceeded it.   Many of those people entered this Chinese melting pot after the Tibetans.  Since the inception of the People’s Republic, China have been treating Tibetans very well by investing hundreds of billions yuans into Tibet for Tibetan welfare.  This is even more so than other majorities and minorities elsewhere.  No country should waste their time and resource tending to such mammoth and unimportant issues while the Environment is fast deteriorating.</description>

		<description>Free Tibet and Taiwan for UN!  Time magazine rocks!  And so does CNN... The Chinese should face the fact that Taiwan isn&#039;t a part of China, its so obvious, Taiwan not only has a separate government but also a separate army, separate people, not to mention the San Francisco peace Treaty which liberated Taiwan from Japan and placed the island into Limbo cession until the USMG left in 1970...And don&#039;t get me started about how Tibetans nuns are being sentenced to life in prison for worshiping the Dalai Lama, an important religious figure in Tibet  The Chinese Government has even attempted to install a fake &quot;Pachen Lama&quot; who, in the 50th anniversary of the Tibet uprising, dared to cry &quot;I love China, China has helped Tibet a lot.&quot;  I say, if China wishes to become a good country, it should start acting like one.  What kind of country limits the amount of children you have to one?  I understand there might be some issues with overpopulation, but you should fix that by EDUCATING the Chinese, and by giving the women a higher status so that the husband cannot control her.  The solution to all problems is education.  After everyone is educated, then you have democracy, which is what China desperately needs.  The Chinese have realized that communism does not work, which is good, but now, they have to realize that dictatorship does not work either.</description>

		<description>Five Tibetan monks, who staged protests against Chinese rule last year in Amdo Labrang and later managed to escape Tibet, arrived to a hero’s welcome in Dharamsala on Sunday.
Disputing china&#039;s lies that the Dalai Lama faction caused unrest in Tibet the monks all spoke freely,
“No one was there to tell us to protest.  What has been happening in Tibet from last year are spontaneous outcome of a deep rooted resentment Tibetan people have had against the Chinese government.  Situation alone compelled us to come out on the streets against Chinese rule,” Gedhun Gyatso said.


Thousands of Tibetans, led by monks from Labrang Monastery, staged peaceful demonstrations against Chinese rule over Tibet in Labrang in Sangchu County in Gansu Province on March 14, 2008. 
“We couldn’t remain silent when peaceful Tibetan protests in Lhasa and other places were being brutally crushed down, and our fellow Tibetans were being killed for holding peaceful demonstrations,” Gyatso added.
-
“Our Tibetan brothers and sisters in Tibet are source of hope and inspiration for those of us in exile. Their fearless resistance despite imminent threat to their lives has become the strength and backbone of the Tibetan freedom struggle. Their heroism and courage constantly dictates Tibetans living in freedom in exile to keep the freedom struggle alive,”</description>

		<description>China not worthy to re-enter UN rights body, says Tibetan rights group


Dharamsala, May 10 - The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy based here said that China is attempting to ‘whitewash’ its tainted human rights record by seeking reelection to the United Nations Human Rights Council.

China will contest the election of the UN Human Rights Council on May 12 when 18 nations will become members of the council. 

The Tibetan human rights monitoring agency said China as a state has failed “miserably in terms of its human rights record in the whole of China and particularly in Tibet.”

“This failure is clearly evident in Tibet in light of the Tibetan people&#039;s mass uprising against the State in spring last year. The Tibetans, in one voice in all the Tibetan areas in present day China, showed their discontentment and rejection of the Chinese rule which has been marked by gross violations of human rights,” the centre said in a press release Friday. 

“China should not be re-elected to the Human Rights Council unless and until it can demonstrate not only by policy formulation but in practice its commitment to the protection of human rights of the Tibetan people.”

China’s current membership expires on June 19, 2009 and its second term in the Council, say analysts, will raise questions on its eligibility as a member. “This move will also develop a concern towards the credibility of the Council itself which is established on the premise that ‘members elected to the Council shall uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.”

Tibetan rights groups say that the protests throughout Tibet against the government was a clear indication that the Tibetan people did not want Chinese rule in the region which is marked by flagrant human rights violation. 

China as the most populated nation and one of the key players in the international system needs to exhibit evidences of moral uprightness and tolerance in order to be considered eligible for re election to the council. 

The UN Human Rights Council was formerly the ‘UN Commission on Human Rights’ which was dissolved in June 2006 to better address the human rights issues in the world and to do away with the inadequacies of the previous body.</description>

		<description>&quot;Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts.

		<description>Amazing:
DL constantly preaches compassion and human right while evidence comes out from India that his government uses violence, murder and intimidation to pressure any Tibetans who does not fall in line with his policy. He still insists that Tibetans are incapable of violence.</description>

		<description>China is the worst human rights abuser in the world and it&#039;s not just 
against Tibetans, it&#039;s against their own people, their own 
population.
The Dalai Lama is currently China&#039;s best ally 
because he is calling for peaceful dialogue with Chinese officials on 
autonomy and sovereignty for the Tibetan people.------------------------------------------But, given Beijing&#039;s aggressive new strategy to neutralise the Tibet issue internationally, the only practical and effective course of action open to Dharamsala would seem to be what one long-time Tibet watcher calls the ‘Baltic solution&#039;. This would entail shifting the goal of the struggle back to independence. It would require persevering in the international forum by repeatedly and forcefully asserting Tibet&#039;s claim to independence, both historically and in accordance with the principles of self-determination; knowing full well that, in the short term, this would not pay concrete dividends other than keeping the idea of Tibetan nationhood alive. At the same time, it would mean building up a strong and genuinely democratic government-in-exile, which would prepare Tibetans for a post-Dalai Lama future and shift the focus of the struggle away from his person, thereby keeping it from disintegrating in his absence............................................................................................................
These measures would invigorate the Tibet movement, make it vibrant and unified, and help it to remain a source of hope and inspiration for the people inside Tibet. And in some distant future, when the Communist Party of China no longer holds power, these measures would also do much to prepare the ground for real negotiations, and for the possibility of either complete independence or genuine autonomy in its true sense. It took the Baltic states more than 70 years to regain their independence; today, Tibet has as much right and resilience as a nation to hope for the same.</description>

		<description>Highlight of the video:
In 1956-1959, DL was part of the government of China. He changed his mind after China abolished slavery in Tibet. He then went to India to wage a guerrilla war against China from Nepal with the help of CIA for 20+ years. Now he said he does not want independence.
