Dalai Lama cede political power

 Not matter what the media pundits and analysts speculate, the Dalai lama is paving way for the continuity of Tibetan struggle by squarely putting the responsibility on a new breed of leadership. The Dalai Lama renouncing his ceremonial power is  hard for the Tibetan to digest. But as Holiness said, the exile democracy has fully matured and now is the time. I agree to what the BBC correspondent in Bejing said
"By devolving political power, the Dalai Lama is trying to ensure Tibetans will have an elected leader they can look to, who is outside China and beyond the Communist Party's control". see the detail article.

Tibetan exile should be proud of having such a beloved and most progressive leader. Who nurtured the exile Tibetan democracy to its full potential and now letting it stand on its own feet. Bejing will have  sleepless night. As a spokewoman of Bejing said this is a "trick" to international community. Dalai Lama possess a vision and political will that frighten the communist leaders.
I believe Tibet China conflict is a race against time, with a robust exile democracy, Tibetan can waite for decades and democracy will win eventually.

TYC protests

Chinese theives

Tibetan offers everything to the monastery to attain salvation and for good fortune, but not all Chinese nationals would perceive it in the same way. An attempted bulgary at Tibetan monastery were prevented by monks, read the detail story by clicking here..

Man Monk & Mystic

An authorized biography of the most celebrated world leader, Man, Monk & Mystic is a fascinating tale of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The title is fitting as the author attempted to describe the Dalai Lama in his multi-dimensional roles.
 He observed "I have seen many spiritual masters in my career, but there are very few who switch so effortlessly between their ordinary mortal concerns, their renunciatory  objectives, and their mystical calling as the Dalai Lama does".

A Fallen Hero

"Oh my God", I have yelled out, and I was completely shocked, extremely saddened, when I first read the news of tragic death of Jigme Norbu la. This shocking news has been flashed in most major wire news and they all have attributed his walk for Tibetan independence as a cause for his untimely death. Jigme Norbu meet his tragic end on a Florida highway, when he is walking for global peace and Tibetan independence. He was hit by a sport utility and killed on the spot.

He is dead while on duty. He gave up his life for the Tibetan people. A Tibetan hero's tragic death is  a great loss for peace loving people and those who fought for  Tibetan independence.

Third generation

A sense of camaraderie have been built among these young and third generation of Tibetans in exile. The sense of oneness and one voice and their desire to channelize their energy and time for a cause is completely voluntary act. They are taking parts in demonstrations to voice protest against Chinese leaders' recent visit to Washington D.C. These young Tibetans galvanize resources through fund raising for an awareness and for community activities for the run up to Kalachakra initiation in summer.  Out of the numerous activities under way coinciding  the Dalai Lama's Kalachakra is a basket ball tournament, with participants from Tibetan communities all over America.

Incredible Tsampa

 Jamyang Norbu la's  article on  Tibetan culinary is illuminating and empowering.  I was thrilled to read his  part I  of the article and look forward to read up coming parts too. After going through his piece on Tsampa  I feel great of being a Tibetan Tsapa eater.  We all know what Tsampa and the process of eating,  but JN's writings is extremely lucid, humorous and very telling. This is the gift  of great writer, and essayist. The complete article can be viewed here.
