		<description>This is the reality, the CTA is not taking care of their own people, they are more interested in making money for their own. Why would a government encourage its people to self-immolate? Why would a government want its people to remain stateless with uncertainties in their lives?</description>

		<description>Self-immolation cannot help the situation and it&#039;s not a solution for any issue. Sacrificing oneself as such is not right and CTA and Dalai Lama should stop this. They cannot use as a sympathy card for donation. This is totally not acceptable. Tibetan leadership can imposed on Dorje Shugden ban so harshly, they can impose a stop for self-immolation too but why don&#039;t they do that? One reason that I can think of is they use this act to get the donation. CTA will put the blame on the Chinese for the act. This is totally irresponsible where they know they can do something to stop but they don&#039;t.

The world is watching how CTA operate and they can see what is going on and able to see what is logical. CTA cannot hide from their dirty mind game and no one will support them anymore when people start to see their true nature.</description>

		<description>For whatever reason, Tibetan leadership should strongly stop Tibetan from self-immolation. Tibetan leadership should ban this action as hard as to how they ban Shugden practice. Shugden practices don&#039;t harm anyone but the ban causes so much suffering to many Shugdenpa. 

Tibetan leadership should create awareness of stopping Self-immolation instead of using it to get funding. This kind of mindset is not right as to how can they exchange lives with money. Tibetan leadership plays the sympathy card to get funding from people and why people have scrifies in such way? Dalai Lama pls stop this.</description>

		<description>CTA only focuses on money and neglected their own people&#039;s welfare. Just look at how they handled the situation when Tibetans started to self-immolated to raise awareness against China. The CTA did not advise their people to stop the act and waste precious lives. In fact, they released a manual on how to carry out effective self-immolation. 

They do not care about the life and death of their own people. Their intention is to milk as much of advantages from the people. They are the worst government that anyone can have. It is better for the Tibetans to leave India and join China. 

The condition in Tibet is improving now and the quality of life is getting better. Many Tibetans have moved out of India and successfully found a better life for themselves. Anyone who is still staying back in the Tibetan settlements should move out before it is too late.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>The Tibetan leadership is incapable of doing any good to anyone at all. They are concerned about their own interest, their money and their power. The Tibetans including the Dalai Lama are only their tools to use to achieve their personal agenda. 

Not only the Tibetan leadership wants its people to remain as refugees, but they also manipulate them to sacrifice their own lives so they can use the self-immolation cases to further condemn China. Lobsang Sangay always uses these self-immolation cases to ask for more money from the west. They encourage the Tibetans to self-immolate by glorifying the act. 

Most of the self-immolation cases are in China mainly because the Tibetans in Tibet are more gullible, they don&#039;t know what is happening outside of Tibet. Thus, they can be easily manipulated. The other reason is that the Tibetan leadership is using self-immolation cases to create havoc in China.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Unlike 5 years ago, Tibetan leader Lobsang Sangay is not invited to Prime Minister Modi&#039;s swearing-in ceremony this time. It is clear that PM Modi of India snubs the Tibetan leadership once again in favour of deeper ties with China. The Tibetan leadership finds itself increasingly isolated as nobody wants to offend China by lending any support to the ungrateful Tibetans. &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;q&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:1.4em;color:red&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;PM Modi snubs Tibetan leadership for swearing-in ceremony&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
By Tenzin Dharpo
May. 30, 2019
DHARAMSHALA, May 30: The Indian Prime Minister who is fresh off of a massive win in the Indian Lok Sabha elections has done a U-turn by not inviting exile Tibetan government’s President to the swearing in ceremony due to be held later today, in a bid to not anger Beijing.
The President of the exile Tibetan government, known officially as the Central Tibetan Administration, Dr. Lobsang Sangay’s absence today at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi marks a stark contrast to 2014 when the elected Tibetan leader was seated in the former rows at the ceremony when PM Modi was sworn into office the first time around. 
The invitation to Dr. Sangay in May 2014 drew strong objection from the Chinese government who lodged an official protest censuring New Delhi’s disregard for the so-called ‘One-China policy’. Many said at the time that the invite was posturing at most, of Modi’s intent to India’s neighbor and biggest rivals both in Asia and global arenas. 
The New Delhi-Beijing relations post the Doklam stand off and Wuhan summit has meant that India has given a cold shoulder to the exile Tibetan set up, thereby taking a step back in using the much-touted ‘Tibet card’. The shift in policy has markedly been seen on the ground with New Delhi issuing an advisory to senior leaders to avoid His Holiness the Dalai Lama or pushing the CTA to shift the “thank you India” ceremony from New Delhi to Dharamshala last year.
The head of the Tibetan polity who extended pleasantries to PM Modi on his win, however may have anticipated the snub. Days after Modi’s historic election win, Sangay flew to the United States and is scheduled to return on June 5 to India next week.

		<description>&lt;font color=orange class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;1st Time Dalai Lama Finally Admits His Illness Was Serious&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;In the past it is customary to cover up the Dalai Lama&#039;s illnesses. It could be to not worry his flock. It could also be to not show the world he is just another vulnerable human being. &lt;font color=blue class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Or it could be he does not want to disappoint people to show he is not a god?&lt;/font&gt; Whatever the reasons, the Dalai Lama and regime are well known for covering up his serious illnesses. In the past few years he had cancer of the prostate and that was covered up till the press dug it up. Now with this new video just out April 2019, Dalai Lama admits he was recently very ill. It was serious. &lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;Unfortunately the Tibetan cause will die with the Dalai Lama when he passes. He did nothing to groom up a new leader as he is a dictator. A ruler for life. &lt;font color=blue class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;He has been in power for over 60 years. He will never groom up another person to replace him because he is touted as a god.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Contemplate this:

Indian journalists sound desperate when they talk about terrorist attacks on India. As this article correctly states, there is little that India can do to address terrorism as they seem to operate from Pakistan. &lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;To deal with the terrorists, Indians will have to literally attack Pakistan which it cannot do.&lt;/strong&gt;

Well, there is something India can do which is to stop Dharamsala&#039;s terrorist activities against China being executed from Indian soil. The Tibetans have been attacking China for decades, yet they say they wish to return to Tibet. How do you return to a place you constantly criticize? The Dalai Lama is literally begging China to allow him to visit the Five Peaks of Manjushri pilgrimage site in China and also his birthplace in Amdo, Tibet. But if the Dalai Lama keeps criticizing China, why would they sit at the bargaining table with him? India allows for all of this to happen on Indian soil, so that would irritate China. 

Yet India wants concessions from China on the terrorist issue. Meanwhile, Beijing equates Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leader Hafiz Saeed to India supporting the Dalai Lama against China for five decades now. &lt;font color=#ff0000 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Furthermore, India wants China to speak up against Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) Masood Azhar. But India does not speak up against Dalai Lama.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;Whether the world thinks the Dalai Lama is the good guy or not, he is a thorn in China&#039;s side so anyone that supports him is not supporting China.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color=#ff0000 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Similar to the situation, LeT&#039;s Hafiz Saeed and JeM&#039;s Masood Azhar are a thorn in India&#039;s side but they do not bother China and her allies, so why should China do anything about them?&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;If India does something on the Dalai Lama, then it would be fair to ask China to do something about their support of Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Hafiz Saeed and Jaish-e-Mohammed&#039;s Masood Azhar. Simple equation.&lt;/strong&gt;

These reports are really bare-faced hypocrisy. It implies one nation is helpless against terrorists because the terrorists camp out in another country. But that did not stop the US from heavily bombing Iraq on the basis that it was harboring terrorists. The US did not hesitate to overthrow the government and murder its leader Saddam Hussein.

&lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;It is also very hypocritical that the same journalists who are outraged at China&#039;s annexation of Tibet are quiet about Israel&#039;s annexation of Palestine.&lt;/strong&gt;

It is interesting to note that most terrorist attacks are aimed at the US and her allies. &lt;font color=#ff0000 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Everyone conveniently forgets that the US has been throwing their weight around for decades and can even determine which leader they want in other countries.&lt;/font&gt;

Back to India - if China can convince North Korea to have détente with the US, China can similarly help India with the JeM. India simply has to give up the Tibet card. The article is also a one-sided opinion piece because India faces as many terrorist threats from Bangladesh, with just as many terrorist camps, but because Bangladesh is not China, their involvement is not mentioned.

India is a great country. &lt;font color=#ff0000 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;China and India as friends will be able to influence the globe literally economically and, eventually, militarily.&lt;/font&gt; But India has to play fair. By supporting the Dalai Lama, India will get nothing and furthermore, it will be a stumbling block to China&#039;s 1.4 billion people becoming friends with India&#039;s 1.3 billion people.  

&lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;The Dalai Lama has to be compassionate and stop speaking against China because he has to consider the difficulty he places India in as his host. Each time he criticizes and allows his refugees to protest against China and ask for western support, it makes China look bad. So if the Dalai Lama wants China and India to become closer and benefit each other economically then he has to be silent on this already.&lt;/strong&gt;

The Diplomat’s Prarthana Basu sums it up very well by saying in the article below that &quot;Now with another terrorist attack infuriating India’s populace, the mystery behind this Chinese silence remains unsolved. While most attribute China’s apparent silence as a favor to Pakistan, as both continue to maintain their &quot;all-weather friendship,&quot; others argue that China holds India responsible for granting political asylum to the Tibetan leader Dalai Lama, whom Beijing equates to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leader Hafiz Saeed.&quot;

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contemplate this:</p>
<p>Indian journalists sound desperate when they talk about terrorist attacks on India. As this article correctly states, there is little that India can do to address terrorism as they seem to operate from Pakistan. <strong class="bbcode-strong">To deal with the terrorists, Indians will have to literally attack Pakistan which it cannot do.</strong></p>
<p>Well, there is something India can do which is to stop Dharamsala&#8217;s terrorist activities against China being executed from Indian soil. The Tibetans have been attacking China for decades, yet they say they wish to return to Tibet. How do you return to a place you constantly criticize? The Dalai Lama is literally begging China to allow him to visit the Five Peaks of Manjushri pilgrimage site in China and also his birthplace in Amdo, Tibet. But if the Dalai Lama keeps criticizing China, why would they sit at the bargaining table with him? India allows for all of this to happen on Indian soil, so that would irritate China. </p>
<p>Yet India wants concessions from China on the terrorist issue. Meanwhile, Beijing equates Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leader Hafiz Saeed to India supporting the Dalai Lama against China for five decades now. <font color=#ff0000 class="bbcode-color">Furthermore, India wants China to speak up against Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) Masood Azhar. But India does not speak up against Dalai Lama.</font> <strong class="bbcode-strong">Whether the world thinks the Dalai Lama is the good guy or not, he is a thorn in China&#8217;s side so anyone that supports him is not supporting China.</strong> <font color=#ff0000 class="bbcode-color">Similar to the situation, LeT&#8217;s Hafiz Saeed and JeM&#8217;s Masood Azhar are a thorn in India&#8217;s side but they do not bother China and her allies, so why should China do anything about them?</font> <strong class="bbcode-strong">If India does something on the Dalai Lama, then it would be fair to ask China to do something about their support of Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Hafiz Saeed and Jaish-e-Mohammed&#8217;s Masood Azhar. Simple equation.</strong></p>
<p>These reports are really bare-faced hypocrisy. It implies one nation is helpless against terrorists because the terrorists camp out in another country. But that did not stop the US from heavily bombing Iraq on the basis that it was harboring terrorists. The US did not hesitate to overthrow the government and murder its leader Saddam Hussein.</p>
<p><strong class="bbcode-strong">It is also very hypocritical that the same journalists who are outraged at China&#8217;s annexation of Tibet are quiet about Israel&#8217;s annexation of Palestine.</strong></p>
<p>It is interesting to note that most terrorist attacks are aimed at the US and her allies. <font color=#ff0000 class="bbcode-color">Everyone conveniently forgets that the US has been throwing their weight around for decades and can even determine which leader they want in other countries.</font></p>
<p>Back to India &#8211; if China can convince North Korea to have détente with the US, China can similarly help India with the JeM. India simply has to give up the Tibet card. The article is also a one-sided opinion piece because India faces as many terrorist threats from Bangladesh, with just as many terrorist camps, but because Bangladesh is not China, their involvement is not mentioned.</p>
<p>India is a great country. <font color=#ff0000 class="bbcode-color">China and India as friends will be able to influence the globe literally economically and, eventually, militarily.</font> But India has to play fair. By supporting the Dalai Lama, India will get nothing and furthermore, it will be a stumbling block to China&#8217;s 1.4 billion people becoming friends with India&#8217;s 1.3 billion people.  </p>
<p><strong class="bbcode-strong">The Dalai Lama has to be compassionate and stop speaking against China because he has to consider the difficulty he places India in as his host. Each time he criticizes and allows his refugees to protest against China and ask for western support, it makes China look bad.

		<description>&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration:underline&quot; class=&quot;bbcode-underline&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;bbcode-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot; class=&quot;bbcode-size&quot;&gt;Karmapa Thaye Dorje Ignores the Dalai Lama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

(1)&lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt; Decades ago, the Shamarpa asked the Dalai Lama to endorse Thaye Dorje as the Karmapa. Shamarpa proved to the Dalai Lama that Thaye Dorje was the Karmapa.&lt;/font&gt; The Dalai Lama still refused as it will make the Dalai Lama look bad for endorsing Ogyen Trinley. ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJJXYAz3Bz0

&lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;It is known that Tai Situ Rinpoche recognized Ogyen Trinley by stealth.&lt;/font&gt; Tai Situ Rinpoche used the Dalai Lama&#039;s fame to promote his Ogyen Trinley candidate in order to secure the Karmapa wealth of many generations.

(2) Even though the Dalai Lama endorsed Ogyen Trinley as Karmapa, Thaye Dorje could not be restrained and continues to grow immensely in popularity all over the world. &lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Even without the Dalai Lama&#039;s endorsement, the Karmapa Thaye Dorje is growing in importance.&lt;/font&gt; Tai Situ Rinpoche thought that without the Dalai Lama&#039;s endorsement, the Karmapa Thaye Dorje would fall and become nothing. He was wrong. 

(3) Shamarpa Rinpoche had asked the Dalai Lama to at least ordain Thaye Dorje as a monk when he was very young and the Dalai Lama refused. This refusal hurt Shamarpa and the Karmapa Thaye Dorje very much. The Dalai Lama sidelined Shamarpa Rinpoche and Thaye Dorje. It was a grievous insult and detrimental interference. In the Karma Kagyu tradition it is the Shamarpa who is the first and foremost to recognize the Karmapas and only in his absence do other regents recognize the Karmapas. Not only did the Dalai Lama interfere in Karma Kagyu affairs but the Dalai Lama took sides. That caused so much fighting and disharmony within the Karma Kagyu school of Buddhism. &lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Tai Situ Rinpoche was wrong not to consult with Shamarpa Rinpoche in all of this.&lt;/font&gt;

(4) The Dalai Lama had no business interfering in Karma Kagyu traditions by recognizing a Karmapa. &lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;In the history of the Karma Kagyu school, there has not been one Karmapa recognized by a Dalai Lama nor did they ever need the Dalai Lama&#039;s endorsement.&lt;/font&gt; This interference by the Dalai Lama has caused the Karma Kagyu school to take two sides and broke them up and created much disharmony. The disharmony, fighting and mud-slinging as to which one is the real Karmapa has continued to this day in 2019. 

(5) Shamarpa Rinpoche passed away in 2014 and it is up to the Karmapa to recognize his incarnation without the endorsement or interference of the Dalai Lama.

(6) &lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Now the Karmapa Thaye Dorje recognizes his son born in 2018 as Shamarpa Rinpoche&#039;s incarnation and he does not ask the Dalai Lama to endorse this incarnation.&lt;/font&gt; He does not need it. The Dalai Lama has done enough damage. This will shift the dynamics of the Karma Kagyu school again in favor of the Shamarpa Rinpoche&#039;s side. Unfortunately, it will make Ogyen Trinley look strange and left out in the cold. Within the Kagyu school, the Shamarpa is the next highest incarnation after the Karmapa. The Karmapas always recognized Shamarpas and vice versa. It shows that the Karmapa Thaye Dorje has the full authority to recognize the next highest incarnation within their school on his own. &lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;This Shamarpa will be spiritually trained by the Karmapa Thaye Dorje himself without the influence of the aged Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile which most Karma Kagyus consider a regime. &lt;/font&gt;

(7) During the Kagyu Monlam prayers in Bodhgaya on January 2019, Thaye Dorje was there leading the Monlam (New Year&#039;s prayers) and so was the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, giving teachings in another location nearby. The Dalai Lama, while in Bodhgaya, wanted to meet Thaye Dorje but Thaye Dorje refused. Thaye Dorje avoided the Dalai Lama.&lt;font color=red class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt; It was an insult to the Dalai Lama that he had to accept for all the damage he had done in their Karmapa affair and Karma Kagyu school.
&lt;/font&gt;
The Dalai Lama had sidelined Shamarpa and Thaye Dorje when asked to endorse Thaye Dorje decades ago. Now that the Karmapa Ogyen Trinley has run away to the USA, the Dalai Lama wants to be friendly with Thaye Dorje so that he can get on the Karma Kagyu school&#039;s good side. Without the Dalai Lama&#039;s permission, the two Karmapas met in France and decided to mend the rift. This will make the Dalai Lama look bad. Even the Dalai Lama did not think in such a big way or a middle way to help mend the rift. Too bad and too late for the Dalai Lama to make friends with the Karma Kagyu school of Buddhism.

So much damage has been done. But the Karmapa Thaye Dorje is on the way to mending all this.
