Tibetan government in exile or CTA and HH Dalai Lama can make videos, pamphlets, include in their official websites and books orders to stop self-immolations. Be consistent and firm about it. It's high time.
The Tibetan leaders should talk about how self-immolation is a big sin according to Buddhism. Killing oneself is negative. The Tibetan leaders make videos, books and all that against Dorje Shugden people for over 20 years now taking away their religious freedom and spent so much money on doing this. Surely self-immolations is much more important to spend money to make books, websites, pamphlets and videos for?
HH Dalai Lama speaks at all public talks for many years against Shugden. Banning Shugden's worship. That is amazing because that is not democratic. Instead of speaking about Shugden at every public talk, he can speak AGAINST self-immolations. If people self-immolate, HH Dalai Lama should block them to see him and attend his teachings. Then if he does this, they will stop. Because HH Dalai Lama blocks Dorje Shugden practitioners old and young to attend his meetings and speeches which is so unfair and total religious discrimination and this forces many to give up Shugden practice unwillingly. So Dalai Lama should apply this to self immolation families to discourage others to do it.
If Dalai Lama consistently tells his people to stop the self-immolations, they will listen. Especially if he threatens them by saying he will be angry and he will not allow them to his teachings. Why not do more to stop his people from killing themselves? Save the Tibetan lives. Tibetan lives matter!
Very true there is a Kirti branch monastery in Dharamsala, North India where the Dalai Lama is headquartered. The exile Tibetan govt. is in Dharamsala also. The main Kirti Monastery is in Tibet and it is in this area where most of the self-immolations are happening these days. Definitely Tibetan leaders in Dharamsala are communicating to Kirti Monastery in Dharamsala and passing messages to Kirti Monastery in Tibet. Kirti Monastery in Tibet are most likely allegedly encouraging the locals to self-immolate. The monasteries have a very strong influence on the villagers, herders and farmers. It is not out of reason to think this. Otherwise why the self-immolations are mostly in this area?
Most of the self-immolations are in the Kirti area in Tibet is highly suspicious. Are the abbots and monks there telling people to sacrifice themselves by self-immolation for a rebirth in heaven?

This is what the Central Tibetan Administration should do, but what they should do and what they actually do are two complete different things. Why they never really stop their own people to kill themselves? Because the people are just the tools for them to gain moral and monetary support from the world, from the West especially.
While Lobsang Sangay is talking about making Dalai Lama's dream to return Tibet comes true, he himself couldn't care less about returning to Tibet as he can go to United Sates and enjoy his good life there. We all know he has lots of money and has property there. He is such a hypocrite. The money pumped in for the Central Tibetan Administration all goes to where and who? I need not have to say much.
For almost 60 years, the so-called Tibet Cause is a total failure. How many more people Central Tibetan Administration wants to kill by keeping on to fail their cause? How many more people Central Tibetan Administration wants to kill by encouraging the Tibetans in Tibet to kill themselves for the Dalai Lama so that the Central Tibetan Administration looks pitiful and get easy money?
As part of a strategic propaganda operation collaborating by Western imperialists who attempt to destabilize China., the CTA and supposedly NGOs encourage self-immolations by Tibetans and Buddhist monks in Tibet. This was promoted since 2009 by the CTA. The Dalai Lama praised the act as courageous though he questioned their effectiveness and glorified by NGOs advocating human rights for Tibet. Self-immolation is one of the main propaganda tools used by the NGOs and the CTA to garner media attention, political discussion and public donations. This is why it continues. It is through Kirti Monastery in Dharamsala that Kirti Monastery in Tibet spread the news and relevant materials for monks of lay to self-immolate. See this book published by the CTA that guide people to self-immolate.
The CTA is the only government in the world that encourages and glorifies self-immolation. They published a guide book to self-immolation and they built monuments to remember the 'heroic' act of the self-immolator. As much as they claim the self-immolation is to create awareness that China does not give human rights to the Tibetans, the CTA is the one that takes lives away!
The CTA is really evil, not only they exploit the Tibetans in exile, but they also exploit the Tibetans in Tibet. The Tibetans in Tibet are more gullible, so the CTA leverages on this and encourages them to sacrifice for the Tibet cause. But the real reason is that the CTA wants to use the self-immolation cases to earn the sympathy from the west and make more money for themselves.
Instead of using the donations to improve the standard of living of the Tibetans and give them hope, the CTA used the money to print a self-immolation guide and books with false information about Dorje Shugden. They constantly create conflicts and disharmony in the Tibetan community. They are very unkind and very damaging to people. A leadership like them should be thrown out.
After hundreds of people self-immolate inside Tibet, the CTA has never once put their foot down and say that enough is enough. Instead, they hail the self-immolation victims as heroes and thus encourage others to do the same. The CTA is responsible for these tragic cases of loss of lives.
It shows the CTA is not only corrupted, they are real evil. Which government will encourage their own people to sacrifice their lives, knowing that it would not help in achieving anything? They knew it well yet they still published book to encourage self-immolation, what government is that? And they are the government who supposed to lead the majority of Tibetan buddhists in the world? How can a government which encourages killing represent any buddhist? How could their people know that their decisions are not based on their own agenda?

The CTA is the worst government in the world. They only care about their own interest, they don't care about the welfare of the Tibetans. They exploit the Tibetans for financial gain.
They want the Tibetans to remain as refugees so they can use the refugee status to ask for free money from their sponsors. At the same time, they encourage the Tibetans to self-immolate. Have you heard of any other government in the world that encourages its own people to self-immolate?
It is so sad that the lives of the Tibetans are worthless in the CTA's eyes. If life is precious to the CTA, they will do their best to discourage the Tibetans to self-immolate. They will educate the Tibetans this is not the right method to free Tibet. Unfortunately, the CTA wants to use self-immolation cases to earn sympathy from the sponsors and more money out of it. Therefore, they will not stop the Tibetans from doing it.
Why do only Tibetans inside Tibet self-immolate? Not Tibetans outside of Tibet?
This is a VERY GOOD QUESTION for Central Tibetan Administration to answer...
How come exile Tibetans don't kill themselves but they expect those in Tibet to do so or they are being guilt trip and emotionally blackmailed to do so???
How strange? How evil can one government be?
This is pure evil.
Tibetan government must stop self-immolation immediately. No one should sacrifice in such a way and this way didn't make any improvement to bring Tibetan back to Tibet. Tibetan leadership should stop encouraging this act for raising fund as it's really not right. How could you get funding by encouraging people to die for you? This is totally not right at all!!!
CTA should stop this just like how they ban Dorje Shugden practice and go hard to it to save more lives. Do something good and meaningful for your fellow Tibetans for once pls.

Just accept it, the Tibetan government will not stop self-immolation immediately. Why would they? They are the one who encourage Tibetans to self-immolate by glorifying the act. They need the self-immolation case to show to the world how they are victimised when the CTA is the one who victimise Tibetans.
The CTA releases a self-immolation manual to guide Tibetans how to self-immolate and what to say in their suicide note. Which government in the world its people to sacrifice their life for the country in this way? No one wants to sacrifice anyone to achieve a goal. The CTA is totally off on a tangent.
CTA will not stop Tibetan from self-immolate, this will not happen. Self-immolation is a tool for them to beg for more money from the sponsors, this is the reality. This is how selfish the CTA is.
