So if Lobsang Sangay meant what he says, he should try to help India improve its relationship with China. They can also assimilate into Indian society and start to contribute into Indian’s tax system. These will be better than just saying it.

Indian has their own problems, if Lobsang Sangay really wants to repay the kindness of India and show appreciation to India. First, stop become the issue between India and China. Next, give an identity to the Tibetans so they belong to somewhere. If Tibet is their home, just go back. Being part of China is not that bad.

With such behaviour, of course India will distance itself away from the Tibetans and slowly withdrawing the support for the Tibetans. The Tibetans are wasting Indian’s resources unnecessary. The Indian government has to use their security forces to control the Tibetans to make sure they don’t create troubles when President Xi comes to visit India.

Tibetans are very short-sighted and ungrateful. They can never free Tibet, this is the fact.

In fact, I think CTA is sabotaging their own movement. Without the Free Tibet movement, CTA can no longer get donations from the west and they will not have money to survive. In order to ensure they continue to get the free money, they have to make sure Free Tibet movement continues. That is why, they are not keen to make the Free Tibet movement a success.

Lobsang Sangay has no shame at all to continue to ask India for help. He thinks Tibetans are entitled for the help given by India and they always take India for granted. The “Thank you India” event was just a show without sincerity. As a result, the Indian government didn’t even bother to send representative to attend or make it a big event.

Lobsang Sangay is still traveling around the world to condemn how China is oppressing the Tibetans. Just recently, Lobsang Sangay went to visit the Czech Republic and meet with “Friends of Tibet” group, whose purpose is to look into the Tibet issues. Clearly, Lobsang Sangay is not going towards the direction of being friendly with China.

If Lobsang Sangay continues to do that, what kind of message is he sending to China? His action is actually quite selfish because it has already been 60 years and there is no progress in the free Tibet movement, what is his plan for the Tibetans in exile? To let them remain as refugees for another 50 or 60 years? They are without an identity, they cannot move around freely, shouldn’t the CTA do something for Tibetans by now?

However, the Tibetans are taking their own sweet time to resolve their situation and get out of India as soon as possible to avoid being a burden to them. Lobsang Sangay even announced to the world that Tibet cause will need another 50 years. This means that Tibetans will stay in India for a total of 110 years which is over a century!

Who in the world will be willing to host refugees in their country for over a century? India is not obligated to do anything for the Tibetans and they certainly do not appreciate the help that they are getting. They have so much of donations and support from all over the world but they failed to make any changes to their situation. This shows that the Tibetan government are comfortable with their current situation and they do not wish to get out of it.

Sharmapa Rinpoche is the highest authority in the Karma Kagyu after Karmapa. By age-old tradition, Sharmapa is the one that confirms the real incarnation of Karmapa. He recognized Thaye Dorje as the genuine Karmapa. But Dalai Lama endorsed Orgyen Trinley as the real Karmapa. Dalai Lama is a great lama but there has never been a tradition of him recognizing a Karmapa.

Both ‘Karmapas’ have big followings in and out of Tibet. So which one should we follow? We have to follow the genuine Karmapa. If we follow the fake one, we will get fake teachings, fake lineage and no results. We can even take rebirth in the lower realms.

Only the Tibetan leaders can tell us which is the real Karmapa. You have told us which one is the real Panchen Lama. We follow the Panchen of your choosing. Since then we have condemned China and condemned the fake Panchen Lama. Now it is the same situation with Karmapa. We have denounced the fake Karmapa and ask him to step down. He is destroying the Karma Kagyu Lineage.

This issue has torn the Karma Kagyu sect in half. There are many who are so confused and some gave up Tibetan Buddhism altogether because of this. We must solve the confusion. This does not look good for the Tibetan government in exile because the confusion was started by Tibetan government. I support Dalai Lama and Tibetan government. But so many of us need to know the real Karmapa already. Don’t remain silent. Which one is the real Karmapa.

Tibetan government in exile, you have created two Gelugs (Pro-Dorje Shugden and against), you have created two Panchen Rinpoches, two Karmapas, two Dromo Geshe Rinpoches, two Kundeling Rinpoches and so on. When are you going to solve all the confusion. You are destroying Tibetan Buddhism.

Note what Namdol Lhagyari said is progressive and unlike the usual Tibetan rhetoric:

“The problem I see right now is how reliant we are on one individual,” Namdol Lhagyari, 32, the youngest member of Tibet’s exile parliament, said. “I understand that every freedom movement requires one role model, one leader, who would push everyone in the right direction, bring everyone to one goal. But he has reached an age where we will have to prepare ourselves for a post-Dalai Lama.”

These are important points to remember:

1. Tibetan lamas and monks SHOULD not enter politics. They should not hold positions of power, leadership and political roles. It will demean the Dharma. They are not trained, nor qualified nor have the credentials to be in government. They also do much damage to religion as people start to respect them less. The lines between respecting them as spiritual beings (sangha) and speaking against them when they are in government and make wrong decisions become blurred.

2. Monks and nuns should not get involved with the running of the country but should stick to education. Giving good education to the public about ethics, morality and in some cases Buddhism. No one wants to see a political monk or nun. Because it contradicts the very reason they renounced the worldly life in order to enter a life of contemplation, learning, meditation and gaining enlightenment.

3. Look at other countries where Buddhism is strong where sangha is sangha and never get involved with government or being public officials. In Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Sri Lanka etc where there are tens of thousands of sangha, you don’t see them in the government at all. Local or national governments both do not have sangha. Even in Christian countries you don’t see priests in government. That is Tibet’s big mistake to place monks/high lamas in so many government positions and as public officials. Very dangerous for the country as it has proven with Tibet and Tibetans.

4. Monks, nuns and high lamas should do dharma practice, produce books, videos, give teachings, guide the public, do funerals, blessings, be a nurturer, study dharma, build real temples, keep existing temples spiritual, animal shelters, environmentalists, be mediators, help with orphanages, shelters, the poor, half way houses, poor houses, and basically all sorts of charities that benefit the mind and body of sentient beings that is NOT GOVERNMENT BASED. If sangha gives good education, they can produce kind and good leaders to run the country.

Tibetans should never never never allow Sangha (monks, nuns and spiritual personages) to be involved with government, politics and rule of law because it ends up in disaster. That is how Tibet lost it’s country and will never get it back. There are too many monks in the Tibetan Parliament and as leaders remember Samdhong Rinpoche as the prime minister of exiles. That was very bad. The King of Tibet currently is a monk. How does that look? Very political.
Tibet made that huge mistake and Tibet will never recover from it.

However, Tibetans only look down on Indians because they are not on par with them. That is what they think. They rather go overseas and become a refugee there than becoming an Indian citizen. India even made the process for them to become a citizen easy but still they do not appreciate it. They rather stay in their Tibetan settlement as a refugee than being an Indian citizen.

This is how they mock and disrespect India. Indian’s patience with Tibetans is running out quite fast. Many Indians now leave messages against Tibetans and their leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama on public social media platforms. If Tibetans still continue with their way, soon Indians will have to make them leave their country.

Recently, another Friend of Tibet group is set up in the Czech Republic and Lobsang Sangay is very happy about it. Is he challenging China? To tell China he will continue to condemn China and fight for Tibet’s freedom? This is hypocritical.

Lobsang Sangay puts more focus on the Tibet cause than to find ways or formulate a strategy to bring the Dalai Lama back to Tibet. The Dalai Lama is getting older every day, he doesn’t have much time to wait for that to happen. Instead, the CTA keeps sending the Dalai Lama for overseas visit to make money. It is so sad to see the Dalai Lama is only a money making tool to the CTA.
