The CTA wants to keep the traditional feudal system in place, utilizing the Dalai Lama as their God authority. Will Tibetans argue with God? Probably not, hence the conversation quickly degrades to throwing paraphrased Dalai Lama "quotes". Dalai Lama said this, Dalai Lama said that... It legitimizes what they do or say without having to explain. Democracy is not about having elections once every few years. Democracy is not about pulling out edicts by your favorite god. Democracy is about freedom and power bestowed to the people, to critically and openly come together to make decisions for public good. All of this is unfortunate because the Dalai Lama himself as a Buddhist master, underscores the importance of critical thinking all the time. Just dial into his teachings this year for example, and you will find dozens of occasions where he emphasizes critical analysis whilst pulling the rug from underneath faith. Tibetans hear the Dalai Lama but do they ever listen? The CTA and its sycophants do not want Tibetans to develop critical thinking which is, oddly, a pillar of Buddhism.

Tibetans hear the Dalai Lama but do they ever listen?

This is so fake. Before speaking about others the CTA should remember to practice democracy themselves first. 😤😤 I wonder how the CTA can criticize China and then do the same thing, not allowing to voice their opinion to the Tibetans and making them apologize and promise to never criticize again.
