Story From Multi- millionaire to Rags
(Impermanency in life)
Choni Tsultrim
6/19/2010
When Robbins was 21, he relinquished his right to become heir of the 31 Robbins Ice Cream empire. Later, he became a multi-millionaire from his best seller. Unfortunately, he lost his fortune during the Madoff scheme in 2008. But interestingly, all the ups and downs in life have made him a better person.
In his newly published book “The New Good Life”, Robbins pointed out that turning into a pauper overnight might be a good thing, and that it can teach people to re-set priorities in life. He said that once he learned how to face hardship he was healthier and happier than before. More interestingly, all the hard times have made him a better person.
In December 8, 2008, Robbins received a phone call and learned that his entire fortune disappeared in the Madoff scam. He added, “When my good friend told me that all our investment was gone forever, I suddenly lost 95% of my assets. I was so frightened and would never forget that moment.”
He was 60 years old at that time. On one hand he blamed himself and, on the other hand, he started to re-build his life. He and his wife sold the majority of their furniture in order to avoid bankruptcy and both of them slept on the cot in his office. He rented out their house in Santa Cruz, gave up their luxury cars and expensive goods, worked overtime, and grew vegetables for food. They are making ends meet at present. After his personal experiences from going from riches to rags more than once, Robins is now an expert in dealing with financial hardship.
Robbins ' uncle loved to eat ice cream and died young, and Robbins concluded that ice cream is not good for the body. As a result, he refused to continue his father's business when he was 21. At that time, 31 Robbins Ice Cream was worth 1 billion dollars. He and his wife moved to a remote island in Canada; they were trying to stay away from the secular world and he became a vegetarian; they built a small log cabin and lived a self sufficient life for 15 years.
In 1984, right after Robbins brought their 10-year-old son back to California, he decided to write about the lessons he learned in life under an isolated environment. He published Diet for a New America in 1987, examining our modern diseases through our present diet and opposed a dairy diet. His book was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and became immensely popular. Robbins believes that material pleasures are detrimental for the soul and that people should focus on the quality of life instead of actively pursuing material enjoyment.

Dreams in China?
6/12/10
China is a large country. China has the world’s fastest growing economy. Compared to the United States, with its 3% growth in GDP, and the 2% growth in GDP for many of the European countries, our growth is really fast. Not even the 7% GDP growth of Russia and India can rival us. In these rapidly developing times, the vast majority of us young adults should be filled with dreams, because rapid development and changing times bring more opportunities, more wealth and the people should have more reasons to obtain this wealth.
I’ve read many articles that mention the “American Dream”. It’s a belief that if you’re in America, you can achieve your dreams through hard work, courage, creativity and determination. This achievement has no boundaries and does not rely on help from others. Indeed, UCLA history professor Ronald Mellor analyzed the key factors of the American Dream: everybody has an opportunity to succeed; success is dependent on one’s abilities and work effort rather than family ties or background; everyone has equal rights; everyone has the freedom of belief.
The American Dream is a product of the United States several hundred years ago during its times of rapid development. Even though America’s development is not as rapid now, the American Dream lives on today. The African-American president is the latest manifestation of the American Dream.
I am already 33 years old. I graduated from a respected university in China. However, I find that in China, I am unable to obtain a better life, no matter how hard I try. My wife’s wish is to be able to buy whatever she wants to eat in the supermarket. I am still struggling to satisfy her low ideals. Owning a house or apartment is something I don’t even dare to think about. Although I am very unsatisfied with my current lifestyle, but my situation in today’s China is not the worst.
When I entered university, only one million students were accepted that year. Each year China sees approximately 18 million births, which means that about 17 million people with the same age as me did not go to university. I can’t imagine their life today. What about those born in farming families, and are forever relegated to the farmer class? I do not know what their dreams are, or what sort of dreams this rapidly growing economy in China can afford them.
Recently, Foxconn’s employees jump off buildings to commit suicide one after another. All the media in this country and around the world are focused on this story. Everyone’s thinking and investigating the causes. I just want to ask, what kind of dream can I have in China? Who is depriving us from dreaming and achieving those dreams?
A Little Garbage Collector -- A Startling True Story
6/11/2010
Choni Tsultrim
Seven years ago, her father was stricken with chronic hepatitis which required him to take medication for the rest of his life.
Three years ago, her mother was diagnosed with advanced uremia, a crippling disease.
Faced with such hardship, at the age of six years old Gong Linjun, assumed the responsibility of taking care of her mother by collecting garbage.
Now in the third grade, Gong Linjun was born in 2001. Her father Gong Deyi was diagnosed with a mild hepatitis in 2000 and his condition worsened to severe chronic hepatitis in 2003. After spending tens of thousands yuan in the hospital, his condition did not improve.
Three years ago, her mother was pregnant and her hands and legs became swollen. One day her mother had a severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with advanced uremia which needed immediate medical attention.
Mr. Gong Deyi went back to his home town to borrow money from relatives and friends. It was a great effort to borrow enough money to send his wife to the hospital. Little Linjun went to the hospital and ran directly to her mother's room. She held her mother's hand and cried out loud, “Mother! You cannot die...”
Collecting Garbage and Helping the Family
In order to help his wife, Gong Deyi quit his local job and went out of town to get a better paying job.
Little Linjun looked at her mother sick in bed and made up her mind, “I am going to collect garbage and then make some money to help my mother.”
In the beginning, little Linjun was quite shy and embarrassed. She was afraid that the teachers and students at school or neighbors would find out. She was always alone with a plastic bag and picked up water bottles, cans, and paper cups on the street between her home and school. She would sell them to a waste collection station at Huang Jia Ge and would net a yuan or two every time.
Later on, little Linjun thought: “Collecting garbage is not a crime, not robbery or stealing. Why should I be embarrassed? And why shouldn't I do it with my head up?” Thus she carried a plastic bag and a tong to school and started from the road to school. Slowly she expanded her territory and eventually ended up picking up garbage right next to Huang Jia Ge. Her total income at the end of the day would be about 20 yuan.
No matter if it was morning or evening, Saturday or Sunday, the residents in the district could always see a little person with a plastic bag and a tong hovering around garbage cans, regardless of rain or shine.
Carrying on the Heavy Burden
Linjun's mother needs seven hemodialysis per month. A hemodialysis costs 450 yuan plus treatment for lowering blood pressure and other symptoms. It is quite a financial burden for the family. Her mother can only rest in bed and cannot do any chores or field work. In addition, she cannot touch cold water. Therefore, little Linjun does it all, from cooking, washing clothing, to cleaning the house.
Excelling in the Classroom
Linjun is cute, lively, and well-behaved in school. She excels academically. She is also responsible for sweeping the classroom every day. Every morning, she is the first one to arrive. After she cleans up the classroom, she starts her morning reading.
Collecting Garbage Just to Save Mother
Not long ago, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News was accompanied by little Linjun's classroom teacher Li Saiqin to visit Linjun. Her home has an old TV and a washing machine, some gifts from kind-hearted people, but nothing else of value. Unfortunately, little Linjun accompanied her mother to the hospital for hemodialysis, so the reporter did not get a chance to talk to her.
Li Saiqin told us in tears about little Linjun, “She is very mature and sensitive, strong and independent. I admire her.”
Ms. Li also told us about Linjun in 2007, that when her story of picking up garbage to save her mother was published by a local newspaper, it was quite a stir for the local community. Many people lent a helping hand. In Linjun's home we saw a Notebook of Thanksgiving: A neat and clear hand writing recorded 3000 donations from people—from a large amount of several thousands yuan to the smallest amount of an apple and an orange. It is really impressive to see over 100 thousand yuan of donation was recorded in the little notebook.
“I want to save my mother and I want to pick up every piece of junk and sell for money. I must save my mother!” That is the utmost goal for this 9-year-old Linjun.

中共对自治建议的解读显示无意解决西藏问题
达赖喇嘛：
【挪威西藏之声6月15日报导】由香港「亚洲周刊」资深记者纪硕鸣专访西藏政教领袖达赖喇嘛的内容，于本月13日正式刊载在该周刊上。达赖喇嘛尊者在专访中表示，中共统战部对于提交的《《全体西藏民族实现名副其实自治的建议》，虽无法直接辩驳，但却称是寻求变相独立或半独立，这显示中方根本不想解决西藏问题。
就问及有关达赖喇嘛尊者如何看待第九次藏中会谈结束后，与北京关系陷入低潮时，达赖喇嘛表示，中共召开第五次西藏工作会议，有个信息值得关注，北京召集了除西藏以外的其它藏区的负责人到北京开会，统一的去看，除西藏自治区外的四川、云南、青海、甘肃等藏区的藏人，对他们的政策、发展要统一部署。在全国人大代表会议上，温家宝总理在工作报告中也提到了对西藏自治区以及其它藏区的发展。
达赖喇嘛说，我们过去在谈判或者对外的诉求中，一再提到所有的藏区，我们所提到的是在中华人民共和国宪法框架之内的所有藏区。当然，这里面还有一个关键，因为零八年时出现了西藏自治区及之外的所有藏区的抗议。种种的因素，使中央看到所有藏区共同部署的重要性。
达赖喇嘛强调，我们提出的是西藏名副其实的自治，没有提大藏区，是中华人民共和国宪法框架内所规定的西藏名副其实的自治，我们提出的这些建议，统战官员无法直接辩驳，然后他们就提变相独立，或者是半独立。从这些方面可以看出，这些统战官员根本不想解决问题。
在有关北京连中间道路都没有接受，能否接受《全体西藏民族实现名副其实自治的建议》的问题上，达赖喇嘛回答说，如果要让中央政府承认或者接受什么，那只有一句话：「我们没有任何诉求，我们要回去。」还要肯定一下，中央在西藏做的非常好，西藏人民安居乐业了，我们要回去了。这样的话他们可能会接受。但我们没有办法提。第九次谈判时，我们提了一个建议。目前，中央和我之间最大的分歧是对西藏内部的看法不一样。中央政府一再讲，西藏人民安居乐业，没有痛苦。我们得到的信息，了解到西藏人民当然有物质的发展，但在精神等很多方面是痛苦的。我们的建议对西藏内部人民生活作一个完整客观的调查。另外，零八年三月份西藏所发生的事件，我向全世界呼吁，要求中央派人来调查，如真的是我们操控的话，我们要向全世界道歉，希望中央派人来这里了解情况。
在问及零八年十一月的对话和最近一次对话有什么进展时，达赖喇嘛表示，基本上没有很大的进展和变化。零八年六月在深圳有个非正式的对话，那时我们抱有希望，希望中共真的能面对现实，诚恳的和我们一起谈判。但以后的谈判中没有这样的希望出现。现在看来，中共最高层领导还没有一个解决西藏问题的方式。从宏观角度讲，在这样气氛下，去单独要求解决西藏问题，面对西藏的争议，我觉得是有困难的。

唯有达赖喇嘛才能代表全体藏人
西藏流亡政府：
【挪威西藏之声6月14日报导】
西藏流亡政府噶厦（内阁）于今天（14日）就中共官媒质疑达赖喇嘛能否代表全体藏人的一篇评论文接受本台专访时反驳说，唯有达赖喇嘛尊者才能代表全体西藏人民。
中共官方喉舌之一《人民日报》英文网站于昨天（13日）发表一篇评论文指出，“2010年初达赖集团发布了《全体西藏民族实现名副其实自治的建议》阐释录，呼吁中国政府就六百万藏人的处境进行协商，但回顾历史，旧西藏实施的封建农奴制导致西藏人民备受苦难。”
评论文还引述美国藏学家汤木•格朗非德（Tom Grunfeld）的话指出，1940年之前西藏非常落后和野蛮，尤其是西藏东部地区，在那里的38%的藏人连喝茶都成问题，当时，达赖喇嘛无能解决西藏人民的基本生活问题，使很多农牧民面临生存危机，因此，达赖喇嘛不具备代表全体藏人的条件。
对此问题，西藏流亡政府噶厦（内阁）增设秘书长次仁旺秋接受本台采访时表示，虽然西藏流亡社区推行民主体制，但居住在全球各地的流亡藏人都一致表示，愿意遵从西藏政教领袖达赖喇嘛的统一安排和指示，因此，中共政府就达赖喇嘛无权代表西藏人民的言论，缺乏事实依据，纯粹是在造谣。
次仁旺秋表示，（录音）真正无权代表西藏人民的是中共政府本身，因为它（中共政府）曾借用武力侵占了毗邻国家西藏，这严重违背了联合国和《国际法》相关规定，近来中共当局向外界大肆宣传所谓“旧西藏”、“封建农奴制”，以及“达赖喇嘛无权代表全体藏人”等谎言，其目的就是为了掩盖事实真相。
次仁旺秋继续表示，西藏东部地区主要以放牧为生，在文化大革命期间，包括西藏东部安多和康区等整个藏区曾的确出现了前所未有的饥荒状况。除此之外，西藏民众的生活和生产状况一直处于平稳状态，因此，以种种历史事件和研究文献来分析，所谓美国藏学家汤木•格朗非德（Tom Grunfeld）的言论，缺乏事实依据和权威。
《人民日报》评论文还宣称，2008年在西藏各地发生的和平抗暴运动是由达赖喇嘛和海外组织一手策划和组织的。对此言论，西藏流亡政府噶厦增设秘书长次仁旺秋表示，（录音）西藏政教领袖达赖喇嘛和西藏流亡政府首席部长桑东仁波切曾多次作出公开说明，并呼吁国际独立组织进行调查，除此之外，设立在北京的公盟法律研究中心也曾发表《藏区3.14事件社会、经济成因调查报告》，较全面地、客观地介绍西藏人民在忍无可忍的情况下，才开展了这起抗议事件，并揭发西藏境内所存在各种问题而被强行关闭。
据了解，公盟法律研究中心的调查报告曾要求中共政府认真倾听普通藏人的声音，在尊重和保护藏人各项权益的基础上，调整藏区政策思路，制定适合藏区特点、符合藏人意愿的发展政策；引导藏区经济结构的合理发展，特别注意引导全体藏人分享、获得充足的机会和发展利益；在劳动力市场方面注意保护藏人充分就业的权利；针对藏区农牧业区域，推进惠及个体的扶助和保障。

西藏存在，那么什么是西藏运动？
洛桑桑盖博士：2010年06月14日17 By DR.LOBSANG SANGAY
『国际西藏邮报2010年6月14日达兰萨拉报导』玉树(Kyegudo)地震惨剧发生后的第49天，记住利用系统的同化战略是重要的，中国政府将西藏从全球地图移除，清楚地说明了他们的企图，因为目前玉树(Kyegudo)地震属于“中国西部”。该断层图像，绛红僧袍的僧人用自己的双手挖掘，对比解放军战士们利用挂着红旗的机器救援，这样的景象令人难以忽视。这正是从拉萨、理塘，一直到拉卜楞的藏人，表达民族主义的方式，抢救、抚慰自己的同胞，共同维护西藏的这块土地；而中国领导人，宁可把玉树(Kyegudo)当成是中国的西部造访。
为了研究西藏在全球公民意识里的地位，我在Google趋势键入西藏，比较全球感兴趣的主题，确切地发现，Google趋势出现了不同地区、城市，以各种语言，说西藏。同样，欣慰地发现，全球密切关注着达赖喇嘛，地震灾民坚定地重申对于尊者的信念，尽管在分离了五十年之后。总之，国际社会对于西藏的关注(红色线)，达赖喇嘛(蓝色线)，在特定的2008年出现了最高点。
坏消息是，当我在Google趋势输入“西藏运动”，让我吃惊的是，答案竟然是空白的，也就是说并没有足够的人寻找这个词语，也没有西藏运动的报导。那么西藏流亡政府？空白。西藏流亡议会？空白。噶厦：空白。Rangzen和Rangzen联盟：空白。自决或撒提阿格拉哈西藏：空白。但对于西藏新闻媒体，如西藏之声，自由亚洲电台和美国之音(藏文报导)：空白。除了中间道路出现在网页上，据Google趋势的报告，西藏运动似乎不存在。
image1关键的问题在：西藏人民行使言论自由就是西藏运动的有力证明吗？Google说，没有。
对于西藏流亡政府的词语，给予不同的定义，这样的混乱是时常出现的，如噶厦、西藏流亡政府、Bhoeshung等。西藏流亡议会、Chitue、Drotsog，或西藏大会？什么词都有。Rangzen或西藏独立是爱国、有力量的，但在Google上的意涵却是非常狭隘的。这是我们的自由西藏运动、拯救西藏、西藏运动，Lhakar运动或西藏自由运动？明显缺乏一致的语词来定义这项运动，是实现成为全球公认的实体的阻碍。
image9最终，西藏流亡政府的生存能力将决定西藏运动的持续性，彼此唇齿相依。如果西藏人民不能吸引来自世界各地人们的兴趣和支持，那么流亡政府的持续能力将陷入险境。
达赖喇嘛尊者多次建议西藏人民怀抱着最好的希望，但作最坏的打算。依据目前的情势看来，我们远远的、还没有做好准备。没有了达赖喇嘛尊者，从Google趋势明确的得知，我们将失去运动主要的奋斗目标与精神支柱。到时候，藏人留下的只是档案记录：故乡西藏。甚至祖国西藏成了中国政府我们的标的，如同玉树是中国西部的意思是相同的，而外国政府只能界定我们的国家是“西藏”或“西藏自治区”，以及“中国西部”，而且已经有一些国家就是这样来正名我们的国家。
image10由于中国政府的无情和在全球、区域和国家层面，还有在境内西藏和流亡藏人间施压，也就在这样多管齐下的策略，致命的边缘化流亡政府；而我们迫切需要有多双管齐下的对策来因应。我们根本没有自满的空间，也没有时间为手指指着对方。我感到乐观的是，一个激励人心的词语或缩写，将可封装统一的灵魂，我们的斗争！
西藏运动存活了50年，这是一项奇迹，主要是因为老西藏人和达赖喇嘛尊者不懈的努力。喜马拉雅山脉的挑战，就摆在所有年轻一代的面前，如果要加强和维持西藏运动再多个50年，年轻世代就必须肩负起一切。让我们运用我们的言论自由，明确地表达自己，团结一致、凝聚一致对外捍卫自己的声音。只有到那时，世界也要注意到我们的支持和奖励。也只有这样，Google的趋势图对于西藏运动，如同西藏高原一样，因为他们应该都是：高竣的山峰和美丽的山谷的同一代表。然后，到那时，将有玉树就是结噶多，真正意义是“九次转世”，西藏将继续是西藏人民的西藏。

Why tens of thousands of Young Chinese university grads move to Tibet every years?
Choni Tsutrim
6/8/2010
Here are some of the truths why we got 8-9 million Chinese across Tibet and still keeping flooding into country ( Tibet) wherever there is a nice empty spot they build houses, town, city and treat Tibetans miserably.
Here is what is going on in China.
Chinese media recently reported that the employment rate for high school grads over the past few years is steady at roughly 72%. This is in stark contrast to the employment rates for university grads. Up to the end of 2008, over one million university graduates were unemployed with increasing financial pressure on their daily living expenses due to ballooning inflation. Nearly 70% of them consider job-hunting to be their main focus each day.
In a survey titled “Status of Unemployed University Graduates” at Huadong Normal University, investigated the population of unemployed university grads in Shanghai.
The research showed that 68.1% of these unemployed grads made job-hunting their primary mission every day; 43.3% of them used leisure time to self-study or attend various training programs to increase their skills. Compared with unemployed universities graduates whose household registration was in Shanghai, those who came from other places had a much harder life. They lived in the cheapest hotels away from their families and schools, hoping to make a living for themselves in Shanghai.
The job application and interview process also strained these grads both mentally and physically, often leaving them depressed: 57.1% reported extreme fatigue; 40.1% reported to have lost sight of their goals; and 22.6% were disappointed with their lives. The main financial support for this group comes from their families. They fear being associated with the “Child Moocher Group“. They do not intend to rely on their families, and feel a strong sense of shame with having to rely on their parents. One grad commented, “I regret that I have to rely on them so much, because my parents are old and might get sick someday. Yet I am still not able to earn my own living and have to rely on them.” This sense of guilt adds a lot of extra pressure on them.
The social tendencies of these unemployed university graduates seem to be relatively anti-social. The report indicated that 59.3% of them seldom talked to others because there was nobody they could pour their hearts out to. One grad said, “Back in school, there were many classmates and friends around. Now everyone is busy with their own lives. Only I stay at home so I don’t say much every day. I can’t talk with my parents about many things either...”
According to the report, the majority of the unemployed university graduates are quite certain about their own social status. Out of those surveyed, 63.8% of them thought they belonged to the level between elite and ordinary laborers, 28.8% considered themselves to be amongst ordinary laborers. Only 7.4% deemed themselves to be elite. As far as salary was concerned, 48.5% would accept a salary range between 1,001 and 2,000 yuan ($143 to $286) a month, which is much lower than the recommended salary for university graduates in 2009 published by the Shanghai government. Unemployed university graduates dwell in coastal cities as they believe these are the places with the most opportunities.
The Mission of Chinese Entrepreneurs Is Obtaining Power
China's struggle for power.
6/2/2010
The Chinese companies listed overseas are frequently involved in two types of scandals: One is making false accounting in order to benefit financially, and the other is breaking through the marketing regulatory rules in order to reach a private gain. The chairman of an Asian medium in the Tokyo Stock Exchange took more than a billion yuan deposit as a guaranteed loan to his company and resulted in being taken off the stock exchange. The founder of newly listed Oriental Era in Singapore continued his false accounting practices, and last year admitted the difference between the actual account and reported account was 2 billion yuan. The former chairman of the Guangdong Land in the London Stock Exchange created the biggest possible loan fraud in the history, 4.7 billion yuan; making loans under its subsidiary and reported to the shareholders of being debt free. Unfortunately, scandals like these are on the rise.
Matsushista, founder of Matsushista Electric Industrial Co. had pondered for a long time and then decided that the mission of his company was to create benefits for the society. The achievement of Matsushista Electric Industrial Co. has indeed been just that. The mission statements for Western companies may be varied but the majority of them aiming to create benefits for certain aspects of the society. Chinese companies also have their corporate culture and their mission statements. However, the Western companies are sincere in carrying out their missions while Chinese companies use their mission statements to serve only as a decorative purpose.
In a privileged society, privilege becomes the most enviable of all. When the general public is being regulated and pressured, the privileged can go everywhere without interference. Privilege is another name for the government officials. It belongs to them. However, the officials need not only privilege but also money. As a result, the rich can exchange privilege with money. Years back, when the ordinary people could not visit Hong Kong and Macao, the rich could buy a permit from the public security department and some could even buy a permit to live in Hong Kong. When the ordinary people could not buy land, the rich could buy land even with a special discount. Lastly, if the rich were interested, they could become an official or a member of the NPC or CPPCC at various levels—the more money one has, the higher level one climbs.
Ten years ago the owners of large real estate companies toured around the country and they went to all different provinces and met with government officials. They were offered maps so they could drive around and created more GDP for the locals. The more money one has, the more privileges one will be granted. Everyone is pursuing greater wealth. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chinese entrepreneurs have no other mission but obtaining power!
These entrepreneurs, with only ten or twenty years in the business of either traditional industries or new technologies, cried out startling slogans such as, “Marching into the Fortune 500!” The whole society is filled with the enthusiasm of endless pursuing of wealth and the desire for quick success.
Companies have grown rapidly and owners have built things up in a short amount of time while facing various rules, requirements and limitations. Their anxious mentality has pushed China with 10% economic growth for quite a few years. Unfortunately, at the same time, they have also buried the landmines for themselves.
Warren Buffett said that only after the tide recedes, we know who has been swimming naked. The coming of a storm, the explosion of the landmines soon turn into scandals. The main cause of these scandals is the pursuit of power. No matter how impressive a mission statement they reveal, they are not concerned about what benefits their business can bring to the consumers. They have extraordinary courage to break any rules to reach extraordinary expansion, but ignore ethics along the way.
The Western society does not really understand this mentality. They are not even alarmed with a growing number of corporate scandals. Investment involves risk. Some people say if you can pick the right person to invest with, there would not be any risk. It is rare that you find such an investor. To invest in China, you are taking a great risk.
The desire for wealth connects two totally different worlds, but culturally they cannot integrate with or penetrate into each other. Everyone in China knows that the constitution of China is a trap. The Chinese entrepreneurs have all learned since childhood how to do lip service and their mission statements are nothing but decorative pieces. Even one day, when the Stock Exchange is having a sworn-in ceremony for the Chinese listed companies to ensure compliance with all regulatory norms, I am sure that owners of those companies will only talk the talk but not walk the walk.

Baby democracy still long way to go to be matured and true democratic Tibet.
Choni Tsultrim
What is our (Tibetan)democracy and how far we are about to be true practical democratic soceity?
Mr. Chime pointed out problems that we are facing:
Our exile democracy is still on its way to becoming fully democratic,
so that is why sometimes it looks strange. When we talk to people from
other democratic countries they laugh at some of our ways of
democracy, such as double voting for monks, and being limited to
representation based on provinces but not on population. We have
enfranchisement but it is limited, so we are still on our way. Our
status and structure of democracy are outdated; now it no longer works
properly. Our democratic government has to progress to a new
structure.
Currently we only have one house in parliament, without political
parties and with representation based on Tibetan provinces. Other
democratic governments have bicameral legislatures and multi-party
systems. If we adopted these institutions, it would solve several of
the problems we have in our system.
One problem is that our parliament does not have proportional
representation. Tibetans in exile vote according to the province in
Tibet they originate from, not according to where they presently live.
Currently, provinces with big populations get the same number of
seats as provinces with small populations. This sort of system leads
to inadequate representation of the people because those in big
provinces are underrepresented. Moreover, this system prevents
promising leaders from big provinces from becoming members of
parliament because the competition is so tough. If we switch to a
bicameral parliament, the problem would be solved. We would still
maintain representation of the provinces, but we would also more
accurately represent the people. With a new house of parliament,
Tibetans could directly elect individuals or vote for a political
party regardless of where the candidate is from.
Another problem with our democracy is the date of election day. Too
often, elections are held in the winter. The problem with this is
that many young voters leave settlements during the winter in order to
pursue seasonal business, leaving them unable to vote. This leaves
only the older generation in the settlements on election day, which is
one of the reasons why it is so difficult for new people to be elected
to parliament. In order to ensure that all Tibetans have the
opportunity to participate, we need to hold elections in more
appropriate times of the year. Although the last elections were
postponed until May, this is an issue that must be fixed with an
amendment in the Charter.
Related to this is the problem faced by university students. Since
they are away from home during elections, many students would have to
travel back to the settlements in order to cast their votes.
Unfortunately, this is expensive to do and most students cannot afford
it. Moreover, their schedules do not allow them to take time off from
classes in order to come home to vote. We should rectify this
injustice by allowing voting at the universities that have the most
Tibetan students. Allowing students to cast their ballots at
university would increase political participation and lead to a
parliament that is more representative of the Tibetan community.
We speak a lot about educating the Tibetan people about democracy and
democratic values. This work is important in order to build a
stronger, better democracy and to encourage people to vote. But
voting loses its meaning if you are uninformed and have never met,
heard or seen any of the candidates. As such, we must increase
campaigning. Candidates for parliament have to visit the settlements,
speak to the people, have debates and make their views known if voters
are to make informed, responsible choices. Through campaigning,
Tibetans will be able to choose the best person for the job. I think
there should be more campaigning and education for Tibetans who live
in the settlements: they are the most likely voters.
At the moment in our exile we lack leadership because of a lack of
political parties. The one political party we do have is not
recognized by the government because we do not have any rules and
regulations for this in our exile charter. Political parties are
useful for many reasons, but one of the more important reasons is the
development of people to become leaders. Currently, it is up to the
community to develop leaders. However, one of the roles of political
parties is to develop leaders and ideas. The future of democracy in
Tibet depends on a multi-party system that will create tomorrow’s
leaders.
It should also be a priority to produce more leaders in exile and
abroad. Many Tibetan students are studying political science in
different universities and colleges. We should support those students
and encourage them to be the future leaders of Tibet . I think the
Tibetan international law students are also very important for the
future of Tibet because without background knowledge of political
science and international law they can’t be good leaders.
We need to think about the current situation and the long term goals
of Tibet . If our previous generation had done this kind of
preparation 20 years ago, we wouldn’t have a shortage of leadership
today. Anyway, the past is the past; let us think about the future.
If we work strongly for the future we can make a difference and
produce many good leaders.
The problems noted above are difficult, but I do not think it will be
very hard to pass a bill in our parliament about a political party
system and bicameral parliament. For the upcoming elections, the NDPT
will endorse many candidates. These candidates should then feel a
responsibility to carry forth NDPT goals of reforming the system if
they are elected. Should the NDPT win a majority of seats in
parliament, we will definitely change the system for the better. By
uniting in the upcoming campaign for Prime Minister and Parliament, we
can perfect our democracy.
All the big changes in our democracy have come from His Holiness Dalai
Lama. He gave us our democratic system and then later reformed it.
As we all know, His Holiness Dalai Lama carries the entire weight of
the Tibetan struggle on his shoulders. We must begin to help carry
the load, to take responsibility for ourselves. One way to do this is
to reform our democracy and progress to a stronger one. Through
learning about democracy and taking an active participatory role, the
Tibetan people will lessen the burden of His Holiness Dalai Lama.
Our main concern is what happens after His Holiness Dalai Lama. I
believe if we have a bicameral parliament instead of a one house
system, we can definitely survive and continue the struggle. Otherwise
I do not believe in the current structure because it is not
democratically proper. Parliament represents the provinces, not all
Tibetans democratically. Parliament has also stopped working as it
should; new voices and ideas are shut out. The way to change is to
have direct representation of people and not of provinces in a
multi-party system where true democratic deliberation can take place.
If we can change our structure and election process, then we can make
a difference and have a better mangtso for the people of Tibet .
Finally, all the members of parliament should read as many books on
international politics as they can, as well as maintain a practical
attitude in office.

玉树藏人求见习近平 与武警发生冲突
中国国家副主席习近平6月1号访问了青海玉树灾区，当地藏人在同一天前往州政府和军区门口示威，抗议政府强行征地，并要求得到习近平的接见。
海外“博讯网”报道说，藏人求见习近平的要求并没有得到满足。大批武警、特警前往镇压，藏人和军警发生沖突，多名藏人和喇嘛被警方帶走。
本台记者致电玉树州政府，电话无人接听。玉树州公安局指挥中心的电话也一直无人接听，无法进一步了解详情。
玉树一位不愿意透露姓名的藏人告诉本台记者，虽然他没有参加抗议活动，但据在抗议活动现场的朋友传来的消息，6月1号当天的确有藏人在州政府和军区门口抗议。
记者：那当时大概有多少人呢？
藏人：几百个人。
记者：有没有藏族和喇嘛被警方带走呢？
藏人：肯定会有吧，那些人都害怕不敢说。
这位藏民告诉记者，藏民抗议的原因之一是对政府强行征地不满，另外，玉树的藏民对政府打算分给灾民每户80平米的房子也感到不能接受。
“因为我们藏家人，一家人太多吗。80平方不够的。”
另一位旅居纽约的藏人也因为怕连累他在玉树的家人，不愿意透露自己的姓名。这位藏人对记者表示，据他了解，目前中国政府已经开始在玉树州比较偏远的地方建造一些小户型的公寓房。这位藏人说，这样的房子很不符合藏人的居住习惯。
“他们就不让你自己去盖，他们说我们需要向国际慈善组织去申请。即使申请不到我们自己可以慢慢地盖，不需要政府帮我们盖这么小小的窝。”
这位藏人说，玉树政府为了在灾区建造地震纪念馆、绿化园区以及商业用房等，向灾民强行征地，市场价每亩四五十万元人民币的土地，政府却只给藏民补偿1万多元人民币，而有些藏人全家都在地震中遇難，政府就把地无偿收归政府所有。这位藏人说，玉树的藏民对政府的这些做法非常不满，一个星期前就有两百多个藏人在州政府门口抗议。
“也没有一个充分的说明，没有说以后的计划会有什么样的补助，只是现在强拆所有的房子。”
这位藏人表示，“4.14玉树地震”之后，中国政府在第一时间将受伤的灾民送往西宁、成都等一些大医院进行救治，这让藏人非常感激。但是在灾后的物资补给等方面，中国政府派驻玉树的救援人员的工作，做得远远不如当地寺庙的僧人好。
“都要经过很多很多的关卡，包括这个礼拜之后，家里什么都没分到。那些求援物资他们那些是出家人哪，直接扛着那些救援物资然后挨家挨户的去送。”
纽约“西藏达赖喇嘛驻美代表处”联络官贡嘎扎西先生表示，玉树地震发生后，灾区周围的很多出家师傅义务参与了救灾工作，但是，这些僧人之后却都被赶出了灾区，这让他们感到非常遗憾。
“从出家人尤其是从佛教出去的角度来讲，他们通常强调为普度众生能够做一点事情。以某种理由把他们赶出山区，这个心里头已经刮了一条伤。所以从长远来讲这就是制造了一个不稳定因素。”
贡嘎扎西说，在他看来，除了安置灾民之外，玉树灾区当务之急的重建工作应该是救助孤儿、修葺校舍以及恢复寺庙。
“因为这些寺庙是出家人的主要的一个地方，也就是如何保护宗教文化的一个中心。”
贡嘎扎西还向记者表示，达赖喇嘛在青海玉树地震发生后立即发表声明，要求去灾区慰问灾民并举行祈福法会，遗憾的是，中国方面到目前为止没有作出任何回应。
