China Renewed Fight Against His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Friday, 25 February 2011

Dharamshala: According to a report from state controlled media 'Xinhua,' a top Chinese Communist Party official has called for a renewed fight against Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama's influence, as well as strengthened controls over Tibetan Buddhism.
The official Jia Qinglin's comments come weeks ahead of the 52nd Tibet National Uprising Day, and the 3rd anniversary of the most widespread uprising against Chinese rule by Tibetans in decades, which occurred in the lead-up to the 2008 unrest in Tibet.
China blamed the exiled spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama for fomenting the disturbances on March 14, 2008 which saw protest against Chinese rule, in Tibet's capital, Lhasa. But, the protesting Tibetans, including Buddhist monks from the Jokhang Temple of Lhasa clearly told world media that the Nobel Peace Prize-winning His Holiness Dalai Lama and exile government were not behind the mass demonstrations that also spread to all parts of Tibet.
"The fight against the Dalai Lama clique must be continued and deepened while each task in maintaining stability must be circumspectly deployed," and "issues related to Tibetan Buddhism must be handled well," Jia was quoted by the state controlled media Xinhua as telling party officials at a meeting Thursday.
Officials must "create a positive environment for development" in Tibet and Tibetan regions of the four neighboring provinces, the ruling Communist Party's fourth-highest ranking official, Jia claimed.
Jia also claimed the 'enhancement of ethnic unity, improved social management, and maintenance of social harmony' as reasons for the proposed crackdown, suspected to be an attempt to prevent another round of protest like the one in March 2008.
Jia's remarks reflect China's two-pronged approach toward Tibet that combines pumping in funds to boost incomes while tightening controls over religious and political dissent.
The Tibetan side says one of the fundamental points that the Chinese officials fail to acknowledge is the fact that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is sincere and serious in his efforts to find a solution within the framework of the People's Republic of China, through his Middle Way Approach.
"The Middle Way Approach is a way to peacefully resolve the issue of Tibet and to bring about stability and co-existence between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples, based on equality and mutual co-operation," Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari, Special Envoy of H.H. the Dalai Lama remarked on November 24, 2010, at the Institute of South Asian Studies, Singapore.
However, China accuses His Holiness the Dalai Lama of seeking to separate Tibet from China, despite his claims to be working only for a higher degree of autonomy under Chinese rule.
China says Tibet has been a part of its territory for at least four centuries, while Tibetans say Tibet was a fully functioning and independent state before the Chinese invasion. It threatened none of its neighbours, fed its population unfailingly, year after year, with no help from the outside world, and owed nothing to any country or international institution. China's invasion of Tibet was led by the Communist Party of dictator Mao Zedong in the year the party took over China in 1949

Pro-Democracy Protest Repressed in China




Monday, 21 February 2011

Dharamshala: The recent pro-democracy demonstrations that have swept the Arab world have finally landed in China, after activists used online sites to organise a nation-wide protest in 13 major cities, including Shanghai and Beijing.
The 'Jasmine Revolution', inspired by recent political unrest in the Middle-East and North Africa, was met with a stronger than usual police force in the two major cities, with several demonstrators being detained by authorities. Media were however able to capture interview footage and photograph the attempted uprising before protesters were dispersed by authorities, with footage now viewable on Youtube.
According to Hong-Kong based group Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, over 100 activists have been detained by police, confined to their homes or claimed to be missing. Searches for the word 'jasmine' have been blocked and several micro-blogging sites have been warning users against 'political, sensitive... or other inappropriate content'.
The call to protest was first posted on US-based, Chinese-language website Boxun.com by an unknown source, and participants were urged to voice their demands by shouting 'We want food, we want work, we want housing, we want fairness'. The slogan highlights common grievances among the Chinese people, who are dealing with high inflation and rising food costs, as well as increasing unemployment and forced evictions by the government.
All land in China is 'State owned', meaning that at any time the Communist authorities have the right to evict residents and turn their land over to developers, often for inadequate compensation, a practice that has sparked many small protests nation-wide that have been quickly repressed.
President Hu Jintao yesterday gave a speech to top leaders, asking them to 'solve prominent problems which might harm the harmony and stability of the society', and advising on the need to better manage the internet 'to guide public opinion'. On Chinese blogs and chat sites, the Chinese word for 'harmonious' is often substituted for the word for 'river crab', which has the same pronunciation, by those wishing to mock the central government's claim to a 'harmonious society' which is largely seen to be a cover meaning 'controlled society'.
The Chinese government has clearly been unnerved by the uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Yemen, Algeria and Libya, blacking out much of the press attention and focussing instead, by use of the State-run Xinhua news agency, on the instability caused by the demonstrations. The attempts by authorities to discredit these uprisings have highlighted the instability of the Chinese regime itself, which is struggling to control its large population by shielding it from the increasingly encroaching outside world.
Charges such as 'inciting subversion' have been a common way for authorities to arrest just about anyone for committing very ambiguous 'crimes', and anyone who speaks out against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) faces the risk of imprisonment and torture. It has become common knowledge that people who disagree with government policy will soon 'disappear'.
Even after dissenters are released from prison, they are often placed under illegal house arrest and prevented from having any contact with the outside world. Earlier this month, video footage emerged showing blind lawyer Chen Guangcheng and his wife under military guard in their own home following his release from prison, after four years behind bars for uncovering government-forced abortions in his local Shandong province. Following the release of the footage to overseas media, Chen and his wife were 'beaten senseless' by authorities.
China has become notorious for its internet and media censorship and use of brutal force to silence dissent among its people, and the question that has been hanging in the air for some time now is not one of 'if', but rather of 'when', with many people wondering just how long it will be before the autocratic Chinese regime is overthrown by the Chinese people

People of Tibet Have to Manage Themselves, Tibetan PM

Friday, 18 February 2011 The Tibet Post International

Berlin: The Tibetan people have to manage themselves without Tibet's spiritual and political leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama's patronage, said Tibetan prime minister (Kalontripa) Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche on Thursday (17th February) in Berlin during a round table discussion with journalists.
"Better to face the reality now, Tibetans will have to face it sooner or later," the Tibetan PM told the reporters, according to a report of the exile Tibetan government official media "Tibet Net" published on February 18. During a media interview last November in New Delhi, His Holiness the Dalai Lama had expressed his wish to retire from political life. His Holiness further said that he will ask the forthcoming session of the Tibetan Parliament in March to debate on the issue.
Dharamshala has received hundreds of letters and appeals from Tibetans all over the world. In early January, the Standing Committee of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile requested His Holiness not to retire and continue to lead the Tibetan people.
When the issue is debated in the Tibetan Parliament, the Tibetan PM said he will speak in favour of Tibetan people's wishes as he was directly elected by the Tibetan people. But as the head of the cabinet (Kashag), he will have to speak on His Holiness' behalf.
Since the establishment of the Ganden Phodrang Government of Tibet by the 5th Dalai Lama in 1642, successive Dalai Lamas have been the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. There is an extraordinary bond between the Dalai Lamas and the Tibetan people.
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama established the Tibetan Parliament in exile in 1960. For the first time in history, the Tibetan people directly elected their Kalontripa in 2001. Since then His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been saying he is "semi retired."
Speaking on the forthcoming Tibetan elections, Kalontripa said the Tibetan people's participation and awareness was much higher. He said that the future role of the Kalontripa will become more important given His Holiness the Dalai Lama's recent statement.
When asked to comment on the present situation inside Tibet he said, "The situation inside Tibet today is very serious. 2008 peaceful uprising was forcefully repressed. This repressive measure continues. Tibetans and other minorities are in constant fear. Detention and disappearance are order of the day. Tibetan poets and writers are under attack."
He expressed his admiration for the younger generation of Tibetans. "They have the greatest patience and determination," he said. Only a small percentage of the youth talk about violence but so far, no individual have advocated violence.
"Our commitment to non-violence is not a strategy," said Kalontripa. "It is our principle and faith." When asked why the Tibetan issue was more popular than other movements, he gave three reasons:(1) His Holiness the Dalai Lama ¬- a charismatic leader (2) Non-violence -¬ strong commitment and (3) Tibetan spiritual culture - day-to-day relevance to people.
Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche, the exile Tibetan PM was invited to Germany by the Tibet Initiative Deutschland, the oldest Tibet Support Group in Germany. He said that the visit also provides him an opportunity to thank people for their support for the Tibetan issue. He said Germany is one of the most important countries

Tibet government in exile actually claims

By Tim Bodt

I wonder Tibet government in exile actually claims the 'Lopa areas of AP or not? Because according to 1914 treaty of Tibetan government with British India, Tibet ceased souvereignity over the area south of MacMahon line, including all c...laims like Tawang, Dirang, Kalaktang, Mechukha, and southern Pemakot to the British Raj. In fact, although the treaty was signed between Tibetan govt in Lhasa and British Indian govt in Calcutta, the Chinese later claimed it was done without their official recognition (they were present at the negotations but did not sign) and that AP till Brahmaputra river is part of Tibet and thus of China. In other words, if Tibet govt in exile claims suzereinity over AP it silently breaks the MacMahon agreements and thus also accepts Chinese souvereignity over Tibet. So please be careful with statements about so-called Southern Tibet i.e. AP being part of Tibet because it will not only offend the hand of Mother India who has been so kind and beneficient to the Tibetan people for the past 50+ years but also endanger the status of Tibet as a whole. 'Lopa bak gotpakam rokten ibi ga zhung phrangga chonyibu rokten nangkarang ngolokpa anyi halarang ma drikpela. It is better not to consider them part of Tibet now or in the future, although some extension till Tuting, Menchuka, Kalaktang could be imaginable in far future!

Tibet Lost Due to Lack of Modern Education: Tibetan Leader

Monday, 14 February 2011

Dharamshala: The younger Tibetans must work hard in their studies, particularly to put more efforts in studying Buddhism said Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama on 10 February in Jodhpur while emphasising the need for efforts in learning both traditional and modern education among the Tibetan community.

His Holiness also emphasised the need to excel in modern education. "We lost our country mainly due to the lack of modern education, so there should be no further negligence in this field. The parents should do their best to give education to their children," said His Holiness while addressing the exile Tibetan community in Jodhpur, according to Tibetan government official media; Tibet Net.

His Holiness recounted the events which forced the Tibetan people to become refugees. "Around 52 years have passed since we became refugees. We did not become refugees not because of some illegal activities committed by us in Tibet or due to some natural calamity. It was rather because of a force imposed on us by a foreign power that made us refugees when situation became desperate in 1959."

His Holiness said the Tibetan people living inside Tibet have maintained their determination and courage. "This was proved by their peaceful protests across Tibet against the government of the People's Republic of China. The Tibetan people living in the free countries are also putting efforts on behalf their brethren in Tibet," said Tibet Net.

His Holiness thanked the government and people of Rajasthan for their pledge to support the Tibetans doing winter business in the state for their livelihoods.

The Tibetan community presented a memento to His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a symbol of their deep gratitude and reverence. Over 400 people, including 300 Tibetans and members of the Indo-Tibetan Friendship Society, attended the address by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Earlier in the programme, His Holiness offered souvenirs to Maharaja Gaj Singh, the erstwhile ruler of Jodhpur, Chandresh Kumari, Member of Parliament, and the city mayor. In his address, the mayor expressed gladness to get the opportunity to invite His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Jodhpur.

"His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a renowned figure throughout the world and his deeds are highly praised by people in all parts of the world. "The Nobel Peace Prize conferred on him is only a small acknowledgment in comparison his remarkable service to the world," he said. "I have a firm belief that Tibet will accomplish freedom during the lifetime of the present His Holiness the Dalai Lama," he added.

In her address, Chandresh Kumari, a member of the Jodhpur's royal family and the member of Indian Parliament, said: " I was fortunate enough to be able to meet and receive the blessings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama during the past 42 years of stay in Dharamshala." Ms Chandresh Kumari praised His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his remarkable service in promoting India's rich tradition of non-violence and ethics.

On behalf of the Indian community, Maharaja Gaj Singh expressed happiness to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in their locality. "Many amongst the local Indian people have never seen His Holiness the Dalai Lama, except in television and newspapers. Today, we feel very proud and happy to meet you here." He said the local people prefer to buy garments being sold by the Tibetan community owing to their good quality and reasonable prize

Tsewang Dorjee Q. Tim la ,I am sorry to ask you question. What exactly vigesimal system mean?

Ans.Tim Bodt
Lopen Tsewang, vigesimal system of counting means a system of counting in which 20 is the basic unit of calculation as opposed to the normal decimal system based on 10. French, Danish and other European languages have it, and some Tibeto-Burman languages have, or had it, including Tshangla. Even English use to have it (one score = 20, two score = 40 etc.). Instead of counting the number of fingers on two hands (2*5 =10), the number of joints between the metacarpal and proximal, proximal and intermediate, intermediate and distal, tip of the finger and distal and intermediate phalanx (small bones) on the four fingers (so excluding thumb) are counted (4*5 = 20). Tshangla calls 20 khaithur and 400 (20*20) and nyisho, Khengkha calls 20 khaithek and 400 nyisho, Dakpa calls 20 khaithi and 400 phongthi, Dzongkha calls 20 kheci and 400 nyisho etc.

Improvement of workshops in settlements would benefit local Indian villagers


[Monday, 7 February 2011, 12:37 p.m.]


His Holiness the Dalai Lama during the inauguration of the newly built Government Industrial Training Institute at an
Indian village located near Doeguling Tibetan Settlement in Mundgod, in Karnataka, south India, on 1 February 2011

DHARAMSHALA: Offering a financial contribution to the newly inaugurated 'Government Industrial Training Institute' at an Indian village neighbouring Doeguling settlement in Mundgod, His Holiness described it as “the Tibetans' contribution to the transformation of India's rural areas.”

Addressing the inauguration of the training institute last week, His Holiness said: “I am indeed very happy that our aim has now materialised with the start of this training institute. As I had promised earlier, I will send a contribution of Rs 100 lakh to the institute. As I knew that there are around 200 students in this institute, I also want to give a separate of Rs 10,000 for a one day picnic with meals and fruits.”

Underlining for the need of more efforts in the rural areas, His Holiness said the real transformation of India must take place in rural areas. "We need to modernise the farming system for which, technology, such as machineries and training are very crucial. So I really appreciate your initiative to start these kind of training centres in the rural areas, which I think is extremely necessary and important in order to transform India in economic field.”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama also expressed gratitude to the Indian government for their support to the establishment of Tibetan settlements. “Initially we Tibetans came here empty handed, but gradually with the support from the government of India and NGOs there is much improvement in the Tibetan settlements. So it is a duty on the part of our community to serve and help you when and wherever possible. For instance in Orissa, the Tibetan community helped in the construction of school buildings in the neighbouring tribal areas. It is our contribution to the transformation of the rural areas of India.”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama recounted his penchant to play with machines in his childhood days. “Since my childhood I love [working] with machines. Instead of studying texts and teachings, I spent more time in working with the machines.”

“The workshops in the Tibetan settlements, including tractor repairing centres, should have improved and extended so that we can help the local Indian villages with these facilities. But I really feel sorry that there is no active work in these workshops. I suggested that our workshops should reach a certain level of standard so that we can not only earn for ourselves but also serve to the local Indian community,” His Holiness said.

“I also very much appreciate the state government for taking serious concern for developments in the rural areas,” His Holiness added.

His Holiness further said: “While you work hard to modernise India, you should not neglect the thousands of year old India's own spiritual tradition. This is very important. The spiritual education is not only for the monastic community, but India's sophisticated inner science such as human emotions and mind should be taught in the schools. Nowadays, some of the world's well known scientists are really showing genuine interests about inner science. In order to develop and promote inner peace, we need to train our mind by knowing the system of human emotions. Inner peace can never be brought about by drugs and money, which may possibly bring more jealousy to the contrary. Some of the top modern scientists began to realise the need for inner peace through the training of mind.”

"I always have a view that India is a big country with over a billion population. Apart from being the world's second most populous nation, India has deep rooted democracy with independent judiciary, free press, freedom of expression and religion among others. In comparison to other neighbouring countries, India is a very very stable and peaceful of the last 60 years,” His Holiness said.

His Holiness praised India for its genuine democracy, and peace and harmony between different religious traditions. “India has a large Muslim community but they are very peaceful. Of course, few individuals including Hindus and Muslims create some problems which is quite understandable, but over all it is very peaceful.”

“India is a very important nation in the whole world because of its millennia-old concept of ahimsa or non-violence with which all major religious traditions live together in genuine harmony. All the homegrown religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism coexist very well with Zoroastrian. Christianity, Islam and Judaism. So there is genuine harmony in India, which serves as an example and model for the rest of the world,” His Holiness said.

TIME Lists His Holiness the Dalai Lama among Top 25 Political I




DHARAMSHALA: TIME, one of the world's top news magazine, listed His Holiness the Dalai Lama as one the world's top 25 political icons, describing him as “not only the greatest and most public advocate for Tibetan rights and the virtues of Tibetan Buddhism, but for interfaith tolerance and peace as well to people around the world.”

The list will be announced 6 February, which marks the 100th birthday of the late US President Ronald Reagan. “Few political figures in recent memory have matched the Gipper's charisma or enduring appeal. We look at other world leaders whose legacies have stood the test of time,” the magazine said.

TIME's Citation:


“To countless Tibetans, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader and a head of state in absentia. But to people around the world, Tenzin Gyatso is not only the greatest and most public advocate for Tibetan rights and the virtues of Tibetan Buddhism, but for interfaith tolerance and peace as well. For decades — and from exile since 1959 — he has worked to resolve tensions between Tibet and the People's Republic of China. And like Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. before him, the Dalai Lama done so in a manner defined by nonviolence and tolerance. In 1989, he was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.

“The Dalai Lama's humility has endeared him to presidents and religious leaders of several countries, affording him the opportunity to raise awareness and drum up support for Tibet on a global scale. His 1998 book, The Art of Happiness, sold more than 1.5 million copies in the U.S. and made him a New York Times bestselling author for nearly two years...”

TIME's top 25 political icons are: Mohandas Gandhi, Alexander the Great, Mao Zedong, Winston Churchill, Genghis Khan, Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln, Adolf Hitler, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Ronald Reagan, Cleopatra, Franklin Roosevelt, Dalai Lama, Queen Victoria, Benito Mussolini, Akbar the Great, Lenin, Margaret Thatcher, Simón Bolívar, Qin Shi Huang, Kim Il-Sung, Charles de Gaulle, Louis XIV, Haile Selassie, King Richard the Lionheart & Saladin.

༡ ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་ཤུགས་རྐྱེན།



རྒྱ་ནག་སྲིད་གཞུང་དང་རྒྱ་མི་སྒེར་བས་བོད་དོན་སྐོར་ལ་རྩོད་གླེང་བྱེད་དུས་ཁོ་པ་ཚོས་ནམ་ཡིན་ཡང་ལུང་འདྲེན་བྱེད་རྒྱུ་ནི། རྒྱལ་ཁབ་གང་གིས་ཀྱང་ད་སྔ་རྡ་རམ་ས་ལའི་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་སྲིད་གཞུང་བོད་མའི་ཁྲིམས་མཐུན་གྱི་གཞུང་དུ་ངོས་ལེན་གནང་མེད་པ་དེ། རྒྱ་ནག་རང་གིས་བོད་བཙན་བཟུང་བྱས་པ་དེ་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་རྒྱབ་བརྟེན་དུ་འཛིན་བཞིན་ཡོད་པ་རེད། གལ་སྲིད་རྒྱལ་ཁབ་ཞིག་གིས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་སྲིད་གཞུང་བོད་མའི་ཁྲིམས་མཐུན་གྱི་གཞུང་དུ་ངོས་ལེན་གནང་བ་ཡིན་ན། རྒྱ་ནག་སྲིད་གཞུང་གི་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་རྒྱབ་བརྟེན་དེ་ཉིད་རྩ་མེད་དུ་བཏང་བ་རེད། དེ་ལས་ཟློག་སྟེ་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ལ་མཚོན་ན་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་ངོས་འཛིན་ཐོབ་ནས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་བརྟན་པོར་གནས་ཐུབ་པ་ལ་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་ཁས་ལེན་ཐོབ་པ་རེད།



༢ ཁྲིམས་ལུགས་ཐད་ཀྱི་ཤུགས་རྐྱེན།



ཉེ་བའི་དུས་ནས་བཟུང་རྒྱ་ནག་སྲིད་གཞུང་གིས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ལ་ཁྲིམས་འགལ་གྱི་སྲིད་གཞུང་ཞེས་བརྗོད་འགོ་བརྩམས་པ་རེད། དེས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ཁྲིམས་ལུགས་ཐོག་ནུས་མེད་དང་གཞི་མེད་དུ་གཏོང་བའི་ལས་འགུལ་སྤེལ་རྩིས་ཡོད་པའི་མངོན་རྟགས་མཚོན་གྱིན་ཡོད་པར་བསམ། རྒྱལ་ཁབ་གཞན་པས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ངོས་ལེན་གནང་བ་ཡིན་ན་རྒྱ་ནག་སྲིད་གཞུང་གི་ཇུས་ངན་དེ་ལ་སྔོན་འགོག་དང་། བོད་མིའི་རང་དབང་ལས་འགུལ་ལ་ཁྲིམས་ཀྱི་རྨང་གཞི་དང་རྒྱབ་རྩ་ཆེན་པོ་བཏང་སྟེ། བོད་ཀྱི་བདག་དབང་བོད་མི་ལ་ཡོད་པ་མ་ཟད་དེའི་ཁྲིམས་མཐུན་གྱི་སྐུ་ཚབ་ནི་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ཡིན་པར་ངོས་འཛིན་བྱས་ཡོད་པ་རེད།



༣ བོད་མིར་ཐེབས་པའི་ཤུགས་རྐྱེན།



བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་རྒྱལ་ཁབ་གཞན་གྱིས་ངོས་ལེན་གནང་པའི་གནས་ཚུལ་དེ་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་མི་ཚོས་ཐོས་པ་ཡིན་ན། ཁོ་ཚོ་བོད་རང་དབང་ལས་འགུལ་ལ་རེ་བ་ཆེ་རུ་འགྲོ་བ་དང་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ལ་ཡིད་ཆེ་སྔར་ལས་གཏིང་ཟབ་པོ་དང་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ལ་རྒྱབ་སྐྱོར་ཤུགས་ཆེ་རུ་འགྲོ་བ་གདོན་མི་ཟ། གནས་ཚུལ་དེ་གཞིས་སྲུང་བོད་མིས་ཐོས་པ་ཡིན་ན་གཞིས་སྲུང་བོད་མི་རྣམས་ཀྱི་སེམས་ཁམས་རྒྱ་ནག་དང་རིང་དུ་གྱེས་ནས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ལ་ཕྱོགས་རྒྱུ་ཡིན་པ་མ་ཟད་དེ་དང་སེམས་ཐག་ཧ་ཅང་ཉེ་བར་འགྱུར་རྒྱུ་རེད།



༤ རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་སྤྱི་ཚོགས་ལ་ཐེབས་པའི་ཤུགས་རྐྱེན།



དེ་ལྟར་བྱུང་བ་ཡིན་ན་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་གིས་རང་ཉིད་ལ་ངོས་འཛིན་ཡོད་པའི་རྒྱལ་ཁག་དེ་དག་དང་གཞུང་འབྲེལ་འབྲེལ་བ་བཙུགས་ནས། ཆབ་སྲིད་དང་དཔལ་འབྱོར། རིག་གཞུང་། སློབ་གསོ་སོགས་ཕྱོགས་གང་ཅིའི་ཐད་ཕན་ཚུན་འབྲེལ་འདྲེས་དང་བརྗེ་རེས་གནང་ཆོག་པའི་སྟེང་། རྒྱལ་ཁབ་དེས་བོད་དོན་སྐོར་མཉམ་འབྲེལ་རྒྱལ་ཚོགས་དང་རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་ཚོགས་པ་ཁག་ལ་གླེང་སློང་བྱས་ཆོག་པ་དང་། བོད་དོན་ཐད་ཀྱི་སྐུ་ཚབ་དང་མགྲིན་ཚབ་ཞིག་མང་དུ་ཕྱིན་དེ་བོད་དོན་དེ་སྔར་ལས་ལྷག་པར་རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་གནད་དོན་ཅན་དུ་གྱུར་ནས་རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་སྤྱི་ཚོགས་ཀྱིས་དོ་སྣང་བྱེད་དགོས་པ་དང་ཐག་གཅོད་བྱེད་དགོས་པ་ཞིག་ཏུ་གྱུར་འགྲོ་བ་རེད།



༥ བོད་རྒྱ་གྲོས་མོལ་ལ་ཐེབས་པའི་ཤུགས་རྐྱེན།



བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ངོས་ལེན་བྱས་པ་ཡིན་ན་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་གིས་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་གཙོ་གནད་ལས་འགུལ་ཞིག་ཏུ་རྩིས་ཏེ། འབད་བརྩོན་བྱེད་བཞིན་པའི་བོད་རྒྱ་འབྲེལ་མོལ་གྱི་ལས་གཞི་དེ་ཡང་། བོད་གཞུང་གིས་ཞུ་བ་འཐེན་མི་དགོས་པར་རྒྱ་ནག་གཞུང་གིས་ཚུར་ལ་གྲོས་འགོ་འདོན་གི་རེད། སྤྱིར་གྲོས་མོལ་བྱེད་པ་ནི་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་ལག་ཆ་ཞིག་ཡིན་པ་ལས། དམིགས་ཡུལ་དུ་རྩིས་ནས་དེ་ཁོ་ནར་འབད་བརྩོན་བྱས་པ་ཡིན་ན་རྩ་བ་དོར་ནས་ཡལ་གར་འཇུས་པ་རང་རེད། རྒྱ་མིས་གྲོས་མོལ་བྱེད་པ་དེ་ཆབ་སྲིད་ཀྱི་རྩེད་མོ་ཁོ་ནར་བེད་སྤྱོད་བྱེད་ཀྱིན་ཡོད་པས་བོད་པས་ཀྱང་ཁོ་ཚོ་ལ་རྩེད་རོགས་བྱས་ཏེ། རྩེད་མོ་དེའི་ཁྲོད་ནས་རྒྱལ་ཁ་ཐོབ་ཆེད་བསྐྲུན་དགོས་པ་ནི་ཁོར་ཡུག་བཟང་པོ་མ་རེད། དེ་ལས་ལྡོག་སྟེ་ཆ་རྐྱེན་བཟང་པོ་རེད། དེ་འདྲ་ཡིན་པས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་དམངས་གཉིས་ཀའི་ནུས་ཤུགས་ཆེ་རུ་སོང་བ་དང་གཞིས་བྱེས་བོད་མི་གཅིག་གྱུར་དང་མཐུན་སྒྲིལ་ཡོང་བ། རྒྱལ་ཁབ་གཞན་གྱིས་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ངོས་ལེན་བྱས་པ་ཡིན་ན་ཆ་རྐྱེན་ནང་གི་ཆ་རྐྱེན་བཟང་ཤོས་དེ་རེད། ངོས་ལེན་དེ་ཐོབ་ཆེད་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་བཀའ་ཤག་དང་སྤྱི་འཐུས། སྐུ་སྒེར་ཡིག་ཚང་བཅས་མཉམ་འབྲེལ་གྱི་དམིགས་གསལ་ཚོགས་ཆུང་ཞིག་བཙུགས་ཏེ། གཤམ་གསལ་གྱིས་ལས་དོན་ཁག་བསྒྲུབ་དགོས།



༡ རྒྱལ་ཁབ་ཁག་དང་རྒྱ་ནག་བར་གྱི་འབྲེལ་བའི་སྐོར་གྱི་གནས་ཚུལ་བསྡུ་ལེན་བྱས་ཏེ་ཞིབ་ཚགས་པོས་ཉམས་ཞིབ་བྱེད་པ།



༢ ཉམས་ཞིབ་དེ་དག་གི་མཇུག་འབྲས་གཞིར་བཞག་ཏེ་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་ངོས་ལེན་བྱེད་འདོད་ཡོད་པའི་རྒྱལ་ཁབ་ཁག་ལ་བོད་གཞུང་བཀའ་ཤག་དང་སྤྱི་མཐུས། བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་མིའི་གཞུང་འབྲེལ་མ་ཡིན་པའི་ཚོགས་སྡེ་ཁག་བཅས་ཀྱིས་མཉམ་འབྲེལ་དང་མཉམ་འབྲེལ་མ་ཡིན་པའི་སྒོ་ནས། རྒྱལ་ཁབ་དེ་དག་གི་སྲིད་གཞུང་ལ་འབྲེལ་གཏུགས་དང་སྙན་ཞུ་ཕུལ་ཏེ་གུས་སྐུལ་ཞུས་རྒྱུ།



༣ བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་བཀའ་ཤག་དང་སྤྱི་འཐུས། སྐུ་སྒེར་ཡིག་ཚང་བཅས་མཉམ་འབྲེལ་གྱི་དམིགས་གསལ་ཚོགས་ཆུང་དེས། རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་ཁྲིམས་ལུགས་མཁས་པ་གདན་ཞུས་ཀྱིས་བཅར་འདྲིས་ཞུས་ཏེ་རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་ཁྲིམས་ལུགས་ཐོག་ནས།བོད་ཀྱི་གནས་བབས་དང་བོད་རང་དབང་ལས་འགུལ་གྱི་ཁ་ཕྱོགས་དང་ཐབས་ལམ་ལ་ཁྲིམས་ལུགས་ཀྱི་གཞི་འཛིན་ས་འཚོལ་བ། ཆབ་སྲིད་ལག་ལེན་ཐད་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་གཞུང་དམངས་གཉིས་ཀྱིས་རྒྱལ་སྤྱིའི་སྤྱི་ཚོགས་དང་གང་ཟག་སྒེར་བ་ཚང་མར་རྒྱ་ནག་ལ་ཁ་གཏད་གཅོག་དགོས་པའི་ལྡོག་ཕྱོགས་ཀྱི་ཐབས་ལམ་(Negative Approach)ཐད་དངུལ་དངོས་དང་དུས་ཚོད་ཀྱི་འགྲོ་གྲོན་ཆུད་ཟོས་སུ་མ་བཏང་པར། དེ་ལས་ལྡོག་སྟེ་མཐུན་ཕྱོགས་ཀྱི་ཐབས་ལམ་(Positive Approach)ལག་བསྟར་བྱས་ནས་བོད་གཞུང་དང་བཙན་བྱོལ་བོད་མིའི་སྤྱི་ཚོགས་ཀྱི་ནུས་ཤུགས་ཅི་ལྟར་ཆེ་རུ་གཏོང་རྒྱུའི་ཆེད། དེ་ཡང་།

My experience with Pemakoe students:

By Tashi Choedon

It was during last year of my schooling in C.S.T.Shimla, Miao students were repeatedly complaining of being discriminated by the school boys' captain off classes in their hostel. Moreover there was "Makto miao group" who shared the same problem. i was indeed upset and infact empathized for whatever happened to them. Therefore being myself as girls' captain raised that issue to the notice of everyone. I still remember, in the prayer hall all the students,everyone including Geshek la were present to discuss this matter. when miao boys were asked about the matter TO MY GREAT SURPRISE no any single person turn up,infact did not support me when the school boys' captain"lobsang tsering" whose name i still remember because of this incident and with his group even tried to put hand on me besides warning me for blaming them. i only know how "humiliated" "ashamed" and "trapped"i felt, I was proved and announced" wrong", "oversentimental" for my own people which infact wasn't true. i have got nice lectures and advices from the teachers and others as if that was my fault. When i couldnot resist,i enquired with miao group they just answered"we were scared" i was so shocked and realized that was one of the good lesson. i know how i spent my that span of last year in school after that incident. So why i am sharing this is since this forum aims for unity amongst we PEMAKOE, it should not be"just said" my experience is just a small school expereince though dreadful for me but "never let down" someone like in "bigger issue" who stands for us:)

Himachal to have probe wing to keep tabs on Tibetans

E-mail Print PDF
New Delhi, February 01: In the wake of the seizure of unaccounted money from a monastery of the Karmapa Lama, the Himachal Pradesh government will set up an investigation wing to keep tabs on the activities of Tibetan exiles settled across the state, Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal said Tuesday.
He also told the chief ministers' conference on internal security here that he has asked the prime minister to clarify whether the Tibetans were 'exiles or our guests'.'We will set up a Tibetan refugee unit in the state intelligence department in Shimla and a refugee cell in Dharamsala to monitor the activities of the exiles settled in the state,' Dhumal said.
The refugee unit would be set up in consultation with the union ministries of home affairs and external affairs, an official statement said.
The chief minister also requested the central government to fully reimburse the expenditure being incurred on security of the spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama and the 17th Karmapa Lama, Ogyen Trinley Dorje.
At present, only a small part of the expenditure is being reimbursed by the ministry of external affairs in case of the Dalai Lama while the entire expenditure on security of the Karmapa is being borne by the state,' he said.
Later talking to reporters, Dhumal said he has already apprised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P. Chidambaram about seizure of unaccounted money from the Karmapa Lama's place of residence in the Gyuto Tantric University and Monastery near Dharamsala.
I have asked the prime minister and the home minister to clarify whether the Tibetans are our guests or refugees,' he said.
He said during the raids on the monastery, the police seized currencies of 20-25 countries that included large amounts of US dollars, Chinese Yuan, Hong Kong dollars, Taiwanese and other currencies. 'It's a matter of concern for the internal security of the state.'
During the raid on the monastery, the investigating agencies last week recovered unaccounted foreign and Indian currency worth nearly Rs.70 million.Several central and state government agencies were investigating the recovery of the money from a trust having the blessings of the Karmapa.

The most baffling part of the total seizure was the 1.1 million Chinese Yuan (Rs.7 million) and over 600,000 US dollars.

The presence of Chinese Yuan brought to the fore the Karmapa's alleged links to China. He had arrived mysteriously from his monastery near Lhasa in Tibet region in January 2000.
The Karmapa has denied any Chinese link and termed the charges against him as 'grossly speculative and without foundation'.
More than 50 years ago, the Dalai Lama fled into exile and established his government-in-exile in Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. The government is not recognised by any other country.
A total of 27,542 exiles are in the state, mainly in and around Dharamsala. (IANS)
