Concerns for the future population and survive as nation "Tibet"
Choni Tsultrim
5/25/2010
A beautiful picture thousands of monks and nuns on face book, and of course much more interested monks pictures and videos in youtub westrener are madly loved check out. Do these pictures and videos tell us anything?
I would say "yes" They captured my attention and recalled me some of issue that we Tibetans are facing today. Population decreasing. No matter what ethnical back ground or race to continue sustain or survive under somebody else’s influencing of culture, language, religion, way of life and even believe and faith is so much more danger than nature disaster like Earth Quack or anything else.
In Tibet case, we all know that we are struggling to maintain our ethical identity, religion, culture and much more that I don’t even need to repeat here. But because China has been practicing birth control in Tibet, most of areas Tibetan families are allow to have one child specially those who are working in verity different offices with name of government staff and families are living in urban area are on child policy. Some cases parents are fined thousands of Yuans (人民币), faced imprisonment and even suicide.
But what about Tibetans living in free world? Do we need think about to survive as nation, nationality and much more? Have this ever concerns you of population decreasing every year.
Here are six factors why our population is dramatically decreased for last couple of years:
1) One child policy in Tibet.
2) Fear of fine and imprisonment or lose job and position in office.
3) Families don’t have resource to support kids.
4) Thousands of Monks and nuns across the country contributed huge influence of population decreasing.
5) Facing world’s most populated country China with 1,337,700,000 population naturally losing purity of Tibetan identity.
6) keep send kids to monasteries and nunneries to sustain monastic communities.
Are there similar facts for the Tibetans living free world?
I got chance to talk to more than ten people from different back ground but grew up in free societies. They all agreed upon one thing that is they don’t have the resources to support multiple kids or be a plurality family. I am not sure is that right word to describe however with job, family, kids, and so much more that they will not be able to support multiple kids, specially Tibetans are living developing countries.
I am so totally understand all these Tibetans telling me about don’t have enough money and resources to supports pluralism but we have to understand that this is not a problem only Tibetans facing rather to acknowledge entire world is facing same problem.
It’s been clear Tibetans inside Tibet have no choice but to follow Chinese oppressive regime stay on one child policy. The question is Tibetans in free world keep excuse above reasons and ignore even if schools are becoming empty and closing , monasteries and nunnery are also facing closing in so many areas in Tibet and in exile communities.
What about 50 years later if we continue to ignore our population decreasing and keep all the kids freely allow to marry whoever they want. Keep put kids in Monasteries and nunneries from earlier age to become monks and nuns. For job and living convenience parents just have a single child. I don’t think China needs waste so much time and energy to sabotage Tibetan culture and identity but we Tibetans are not pay attention enough for our future population to support our unique culture. Without enough population to support our culture and identity alive, there is no need to doubt Tibet will become a written history soon. Therefore, I think Tibetans in free societies needs to take more serious responsibility not just your kids have brothers and sisters to help each other in life but more importantly think about our future survive and I think this is much more important than hold a signs regularly protest in streets.
Two days ago I participated Kalon Tripa and Mr. speaker Penpa Tsering discussion in Armenian Church in New York. This question was asked but there are no specific solution and alternative way to follow through. People are laugh and joke about it during the break. I think we are so behind or so in dark not know how serious population crises we are facing at this critical time.
I know we Tibetans are over sensitive if somebody say something about religion or some other topic that most people are scare to talk about even if we are in free societies. People easily targeted threw stone on them. I don’t want that stone on my head so I just want to clarify some of things that I mentioned in this article that I am not an anti-religious person and I am not against anything on any sets of religion in Tibetan communities. My concern is our future be as a nation with total unique survive on culture, language, every tiny bit aspect of our civilization. For that we need people.
I think there are much more researches need to be done on statistic and find conducive, alternative and best solution on this issue. How we are going to do that? Please drop some lines of your thoughts.

Thousands Gather to Hear the Dalai Lama
VOA
Adam Phillips
New York Saturday,
22 May 2010
People line up at Radio City Music Hall in New York to hear the Dalai Lama speak.
The Dalai Lama, the exiled political and spiritual leader of Tibet, began a three day series of Buddhist teachings Thursday at New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall, which holds nearly 6,000 people.
An atmosphere of joy and camaraderie filled the streets surrounding the venue as people waited to pass through the security checks to attend the Dalai Lama's lecture on meditation and the Buddhist way of life. Those are subjects a beaming young ticketholder, named Mark, says he knows almost nothing about.
"I'm here to check out what he has to say, hear what kind of wisdom he has to share and to do my best to follow it, you know."
Manhattan is a world away from the Himalayan mountain kingdom where the Dalai Lama was born, and where Tibetan Buddhist mind training was developed. But New Yorker Ann Smith feels the message is universal.
"It has helped in the sense that when I have a problem I try to stop and think about the causes of the problems that I've created myself and what I can do to be constructive about it, rather than just venting anger or just being frustrated," says Smith, adding the Dalai Lama's teachings of nonviolence, patience and discipline have been a tremendous help in her daily life.
A gray-haired New Yorker, named Elizabeth, has been standing behind us in line listening and nodding.
"The Dalai Lama has thought a lot about life and he has a healthy, sane approach to the world," she says. "He believes that the way we think causes our problems and if we make our minds clear and calm, the world will be a calmer and saner place."
One lady came to New York from Dallas, Texas - over 2,000 kilometers away - to hear what the 1989 Nobel Peace Laureate had to say.
"He is the epitome of compassion to me. He loves everyone," she says. "And if you notice everyone on this line, they exude peace and tranquility and love and kindness that it's just phenomenal to be around."
Nearby, Gabriel is exuding curiosity.
"I came here for spiritual nourishment, I suppose you could put it that way," he explains. "I want to become more educated in terms of Buddhist scriptures and I think he certainly has been studying them long enough to explain them to lay people. He is a wonderful human being."
A young woman named Whitney expresses hope the upcoming lecture will satisfy her spiritual and her intellectual sides. She says she likes the way the Dalai Lama builds bridges between different peoples and different ways of thinking.
"I think he is a really cool dude. I study neuroscience in college and I love that he is interested in neuroscience and is trying to combine Eastern and Western philosophy and that he has the curiosity about how we think, and he kind of embraces our ideas and he shows us his."
Before long, Whitney and several thousand other attendees have passed through the iconic Art Deco portals of Radio City Music Hall, and taken their seats inside to hear what the Dalai Lama has come to share. After completing his New York lectures, he will continue on to Japan later this month.
Tragedy in China, Shocks the Entire Community

On May 8, a homicide case in Jiangxi Province resulted in eight people being killed, including the suspect's own mother and wife. Because of the recent rash of violent crimes, some experts have concluded that one of the causes is the continuing deterioration of social relations.
Zhao Yezhong, the suspect, killed eight people in a row on the evening of May 8 at Badu Town, Jishui County of Jiangxi and then ran away. He was later arrested by police.
The victims include the suspect's 80 years old mother, his wife, and 10-year old daughter. Five other suspects include Zhou's neighbor and an out-of-town laborer. A reporter from Voice of America tried to obtain the most recent development of this case but was told by the officer on duty that it is still under the investigation of security agencies. Further development will be published later by the security department, but the suspect has been arrested.
Deterioration of Social Relationships
Within the last 6 months, violent crimes have happened frequently, including the case in Beijing last November involving young children being killed or hurt in a school yard. The common feature of these cases is the killing of next of kin or innocent children through stabbings.
Killing one's own child and mother is a rare behavior in this world, but why does it happen so frequently in China, a big country with a high GDP? Mr. Hu Xingdou, professor of economics at Beijing Institute of Technology and chairman of the Chinese Sociological Research Association, said, “At present, the social relations continue to deteriorate, and a growing gap between the rich and the poor. Thus the rich and the poor are in more of the opposite stance.”
He added, “Currently, China is a predatory society. You may say that the privileged and the special interest groups are depriving the common people through a variety of means: the strong bullying the weak. Meanwhile, the weaker party is raising a knife to the more vulnerable. In other words, the weaker party has the mentality that he needs to perish together with the entire family or community in order to solve his predicament.”
Demanding Social Justice
Professor Hu believes that taking revenge on the weaker parties is an exhibition of cowardice and selfishness. One should ask society for social justice instead. He stated, “If one is in extreme difficulty, one should ask society for justice and resolve one's own predicament, but not raise a knife to someone weaker and ruin one's own family. These violent cases indicate the deterioration of social relations and also the cowardice and cruelty of human nature.”
Zhou Xiaozheng, professor of sociology of Renmin University in China, thinks that China's wealth distribution and social injustice are the main causes for crimes of violence. Therefore, eradication of social injustice is the key point in eliminating violent crimes in the community.

H.H's visit NYC, Organizer ticket sky Rock
Choni Tsultrim
5/22/2010
Tibetan leader His Holiness The Dalai Lama’s visit New York City is always such great benefit for all the walks of lives in the city whether they are Buddhists or non-Buddhists everyone has something positive to say about his teachings, compassionate nature and peacefulness and even his smile and gaggles give thousand of people peace and refresh their lives and even some times change people’s lives completely by listening to his teachings.
I remember couple of years ago HH gave teaching “ Three principles of the path to enlightenment” at Central park it was estimated close to a million of people gathered that day. I talked some of the people after the teaching. They told me that it was the best day ever they had in thier lives. Everyone was so happy that they learnt something from Dalai Lama. I remember some of my Chinese friends bought ticket for three days teaching at Music City Hall that year. They told me ticket was so expensive but it was worth.
Same as last two years teachings in North America really helped people to know about Buddhism and Tibet. Whenever people see any announcement on magazine or online about HH’s come over America and specially in New York City is something everyone talked about and expected so that we all can get a glimpse of bless if luck enough.
As a Buddhist I am no different from everyone else. I really felt that whole entire city has been enriched and blessed so much in so many ways and specially those are believers of Buddhism and particularly all the Tibetans and people from Himalayan range so much vibrated for the last two three weeks rushed for tickets and lined up 3:00 AM in the morning for the better seats and most importantly everyone wanted to be close to him to get the best bless which is totally understandable. The funny thing was those who paid $25-$35 over were allowed to enter actual hall to see real Buddha. Nearly thousand of people only got chance to watch TV in a separate hall even though paid $10 ticket. Half of the people in the separated hall are rebucking sharply about the separation and hundreds of people don’t even have ticket murmuring outside door with no chance to get in and see Buddha compassion they waited for long time.
There are few questions come aross to my mind:
1) Why there were only few Tibetans on the teaching in the Radio City Music hall among thousands ?
2) Did Tibetans know that HH is teaching in the city?
3) or because those days were not Saturdays and Sundays?
4) or $360 tickets were too expensive for Tibetans to go to teaching?
5) or Tibetans already knew what HH is teaching in New York?
6) Why Tibetans are rushing for public talk, not for three days teaching?
Maybe the ticket cost so much that most of Tibetan won’t be able to afford to buy even though wanted so badly to participate His Holiness’ teaching.
Two days ago I read an article about a student asked H.H Dalai Lama why his teachings are so expensive. H.H simply answered, “Organizer decide ticket price, and not me.” I knew there so many others have same questions but never get chance to put up publicly. I actually met a family friend in New Jersey yesterday. First thing he asked me if I got chance to receive teachings. Before I answered his question he shook his head and said, “I will not be able to get any teaching from Dalai Lama because it’s too expensive and I have got four family members if we go to teaching it costs my family over $1500 and plus food and transportation and we simply don’t have money to do it.
We all understand some money maybe go to charity and of course organizer needs money to pay off their expenses. But the question here everyone has is that……
1) should we sell teachings to benefit something else?
2) why teachings are over expensive?
3) Should we think about people have no money?
4) Are these teachings are only for rich people?
5) Does these teachings are for benefit entire sentient being or whoever has money?
6) Who decide cost of ticket to push away poor people’s participation?
7) Why we sell Dalai Lama to make money for ourselves to rich your organization or Centers?
8) Is this truly Buddhist way of benefit other?
9) Does Tibetan office or government ever thought about this issue?
10) Or do we still continue to ignore no matter what?
Few days ago VOA Pema Dorjee interviewed Director of Indiana Tibetan Center Aga Rinpochen at the airport while he was there to receive HH the Dalai Lama for three days Heart Sutra teaching. He actually mentioned that they are going to raise money by selling ticket and give some money to help Earth quack in Yushu. Although the attention is perfectly right but raise ticket price to sky rock to push away so many poor people and not give chance or consider affordability those who have no money specially during this crisis is absolutely wrong and selfish. I am not saying that help victims is wrong but they needs to refresh thier mind and they shouldn't zig zag on propose of teaching "Heart Sutra" in particuler area. Their focus should be the people around that area not raise money for the earth quack. They can raise money anytime they want for the victimized by earth quack but it is totally wrong over priced tikect and not give chance to poor people.
This is just an example. To my knowledge pretty much all the organizer across the country no matter where and what state, ticket price for HH's teaching is over beyond measure. We all need to wake up once again to refresh our mind why we sell over priced tickets, Why we treat Lord Buddha's teachings as business? most importantly we need to check our motivation by doing all these thing. If we hold wrong or non-virtuous motivation from the beginning then what's the hell to waste time and energy.
Finally, While I was finish writing this article, I got a phone from a friend saying that he called for ticket so many times nobody answers phone. Finally somebody called Dolak said in phone “we don’t have ticket now so don’t even think about to come over because heavy security and you won’t be able to get in hall.” My friend was absolutely torn and trashed down mentally and emotionally.
My Buddha, compassionate one,
why I am not allow to see you?
It because I don’t have money?
You compassionate I know you are watching on me
And you know how I am feeling
I wish I have the power to make everyone equal
So that we all equally enjoy your bless’
My prayers go on with those wanted to see you day and night.
May all sentient being equally bless by,
“You compassionate one”
Secret channels with China
Ma Ying Jeou's secret channeles
May 22/10
Former National Security Council (NSC) Secretary-General Su Chi recently revealed that the administration of President Ma Ying-jeou has established 20 channels of communication with China, including some secret ones.
Has Su's act violated the Classified National Security Information Protection Act? If the Ma administration does not give the public an explanation, does it mean that everyone can follow Su in the future and leave the country in a state of anarchy? Su's statement not only confirmed that the Ma administration in fact maintains very close contact with China, but also highlighted that there are untold secrets behind the 12 cross-Taiwan Strait agreements signed since Ma's inauguration. How many more secret deals are being concealed from the people? How many of Taiwan's interests have been sold out? Integrity is the most basic requirement for officials in charge of national security, and military and intelligence affairs. What sort of NSC secretary-general would put up state secrets for sale? And what kind of president would consider this kind of person his confidant? Ma is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and he also pledged to protect the country when sworn in to the presidency. He cannot turn a blind eye to the dangerous signs that have been emerging in the national security system.

小心！你泄露国家机密了
5/20/2010
作者：Jason
国家机密离你很遥远，国家机密就在你身边。今天央视《焦点访谈》播出了一期名为“警惕互联网地图泄密”的节目，节目指出网友在Google Earth上标注了军事基地，行为属于泄露国家军事机密。著名博客“月光博客”被指建立论坛让网友得以“泄密”。
就像广电总局是流行的风向标，央视一向是国家政策的指南针。想知道政府接下来会推行什么政策，看看央视就行了。
比如说，央视让张殊凡小妹妹说互联网很黄很暴力，接下来政府肯定要搞互联网扫黄。
又比如说，央视找高也来说Google搜索让他的同学心神不宁，接下来政府肯定要让谷歌整顿，并大力推广绿坝。
再比如说，央视曝光互联网电视涉黄，广电总局马上就表示会出台管理规范。
……
只要抓住一点真理，就能明白央视操作新闻的逻辑：为了政策而制造新闻。
央视这一期“警惕互联网地图泄密”毫无疑问是为政府即将出台的互联网地图规范造势的。据我所知，央视在春节前就准备整Google Earth了，由于春节后有其它更好的题材，这个话题一直搁置。直到政府准备出台新政，牠们才被召唤开工。
这里有几条关于央视的定律，大家可以对照着，用事实去检验它们是否真理：
1、央视一旦曝光某个企业的负面消息，这个企业接下来肯定会在央视做广告，老总甚至会出现在春晚。
2、凡是《焦点访谈》批判的东西，10天内国家必定有相应的政策出台。
3、将《新闻联播》的内容反着看，往往能找到真相。
4、在央视眼里，网友和群众演员的差别仅仅在于有没有低廉的工资。
5、如果央视反复报道某个活动群众喜闻乐见，那这个活动必定深受冷落。
6、央视新闻偏向哪一方，这一方未来必将倒霉。
噢，我似乎泄露国家机密了。
这篇文章很短，主要是想提醒各位读者，你在网上的各种行为都有可能泄露国家机密。
比如你说某某领导人的领导有问题，这肯定是泄露国家机密的；
又比如你说在中国做网站很艰难，这又泄露国家机密了；
再比如你说政府在SB会用一亿美元援助发展中国家，地震赈灾却要民众捐款，这毫无疑问是泄露国家机密的。
别跟我说你知道1+1=2。

2010 Nobel Peace Prize nominee signs newly-released book « Bloody Harvest »
03/15/2010
Secret China (cindy liu)
New York – March 11, 2010 – David Matas, an award-winning international human rights attorney, member of Rights & Democracy’s Board of Directors, and nominee for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, attended the release of his new book, « Bloody Harvest : The Killing of Falun Gong for their Organs », and signed copies at the Alfred Lerner Hall in Columbia University.
At the book-signing event, co-author Matas discussed why he had decided to assume the responsibility of investigating the issue of organ harvesting after having heard the allegations from a medical doctor's wife back in 2006. Under the alias of "Annie", the lady told that Falun Gong practitioners in China were being killed for their corneas.
Matas said, “As an international human rights lawyer, I have worked with many major human rights groups, and I know Falun Gong has been persecuted in China.” “Investigation of organ harvesting is a very complicated issue. I know if we don’t do it, nobody will do it.” “It is a crime without a crime scene. It's an operating room so it's cleaned up afterwards. So there are no surviving victims and there's no corpse."
Matas and co-author David Kilgour found a way to launch an investigation by creating a list of evidentiary trails that could either prove or disprove the allegations.
"Basically, in a nutshell, what we came up with was that every evidentiary trail that we could think of, that could have disproved the allegations, went nowhere. Every evidentiary trail that proved the allegations gave us something. The result of which is, putting it all together, that 'standing back from the pile,' so to speak, we came to the conclusion that this was true, that what Annie had said was true. Not just for corneas, but for all organs. Not just from 2002 to 2003, like she talked about, but from 2001 till when our reports came out. Not just in Sujiatun [the location of the medical facility where Annie’s husband worked], but in all of China," said Matas.
The evidentiary trails included a number of different areas that would be necessary for or would allow for the harvesting of organs from people. Matas said that one evidentiary trail was calling the hospitals, posing as patients looking for organ transplants, and asking the doctors whether the organs were from Falun Gong practitioners on the grounds that since Falun Gong practitioners do qigong-like exercises, they must have healthy organs.

Two reports have been released on the alleged harvesting of organs from imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners prior to this book.
Matas was nominated along with Kilgour, a former Canadian Crown Prosecutor, member of Parliament of Canada, and Secretary of State, by Boris Wrzesneskyi, a member of Parliament of Canada, and Balfour Hakak, Chair of the Hebrew Writers Association, for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize for their work investigating the alleged killings of Falun Gong followers for their organs in China.
« Bloody Harvest »: The Killing of Falun Gong for their Organs » was twice on the best-selling list in Winnipeg, Canada, since its publication.
Secret China (cindy liu)
New York – March 11, 2010 – David Matas, an award-winning international human rights attorney, member of Rights & Democracy’s Board of Directors, and nominee for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, attended the release of his new book, « Bloody Harvest : The Killing of Falun Gong for their Organs », and signed copies at the Alfred Lerner Hall in Columbia University.
At the book-signing event, co-author Matas discussed why he had decided to assume the responsibility of investigating the issue of organ harvesting after having heard the allegations from a medical doctor's wife back in 2006. Under the alias of "Annie", the lady told that Falun Gong practitioners in China were being killed for their corneas.
Matas said, “As an international human rights lawyer, I have worked with many major human rights groups, and I know Falun Gong has been persecuted in China.” “Investigation of organ harvesting is a very complicated issue. I know if we don’t do it, nobody will do it.” “It is a crime without a crime scene. It's an operating room so it's cleaned up afterwards. So there are no surviving victims and there's no corpse."
Matas and co-author David Kilgour found a way to launch an investigation by creating a list of evidentiary trails that could either prove or disprove the allegations.
"Basically, in a nutshell, what we came up with was that every evidentiary trail that we could think of, that could have disproved the allegations, went nowhere. Every evidentiary trail that proved the allegations gave us something. The result of which is, putting it all together, that 'standing back from the pile,' so to speak, we came to the conclusion that this was true, that what Annie had said was true. Not just for corneas, but for all organs. Not just from 2002 to 2003, like she talked about, but from 2001 till when our reports came out. Not just in Sujiatun [the location of the medical facility where Annie’s husband worked], but in all of China," said Matas.
The evidentiary trails included a number of different areas that would be necessary for or would allow for the harvesting of organs from people. Matas said that one evidentiary trail was calling the hospitals, posing as patients looking for organ transplants, and asking the doctors whether the organs were from Falun Gong practitioners on the grounds that since Falun Gong practitioners do qigong-like exercises, they must have healthy organs.
Of the calls, 10% confirmed that the organs were from Falun Gong practitioners, with voice recorded admissions.

迫在眉睫的悲剧 ——玉树人的焦虑

迫在眉睫的悲剧 ——玉树人的焦虑
文/登玛（真言）
译/玉树之子
玉树结古镇因地震造成巨大的生命财产损失，接着又出现了一些令人感到焦虑的问题或现象。
·新一代藏人可能会被异化
西藏独特的宗教文化和传统习惯之消亡已经越发引起世人的关注。而在重建玉树的过程中，有目共睹的事实是：新一代藏人面临着变异成为其他民族的危险。事实上，近来已经计划将结古的年轻学生分别送往中国各地。
当局对一些人说，你们的孩子必须要送到某一所汉族的学校中，这样可以免除五年的学费，并可以受到很好的教育，如果不送孩子到汉族学校，则此处的重建需要费时五年多，在此期间你们的孩子将会失学。
另有一些人则在介绍汉地学校的种种优点以后说，你们班级学生都要投票，如果超过一半以上的学生选择去汉族学校，则所有学生都得去，否则这里没有办法维持一个班级的规模。有些则说：除了本省以外，你们可以选择去任何一所学校等等，听了令人恐惧万分。而很多家长并不知道其后果，以为是好事而打算让孩子到中国内地去学习。
从人类史累积的经验而言，这种现象很可能是较地震灾害更加严重的危险前奏，其后果对西藏民族和民族文化所造成的危害可能会远远超过地震等自然灾害。
· 就地震原因的说明之假话
几天前，地方政府开始关心民间的民意或议论，民间对地震的原因众说纷纭，大部分人都认为这是因为对玉树地区的圣山圣湖进行开矿引发了地震，由于此说影响很大，当局为了对人民作出说明，专门下令成立了一个调查小组，到各地去进行调查。
但据了解，虽然开挖矿藏的地方有很多处，但调查小组只去了一个地方就返回结古，然后召集人民开会说：“你们信任的是地方上的各大喇嘛，所以这次专门请那些大喇嘛到各地去了解是否有开矿，他们应该会对此作出说明。从今以后，要知道所谓开矿引发地震的说法是谣言等。
除了强调说明，官员在会议上讲话时还有类似 “那些说王玉虎(州长)挖矿藏的人，吃你父母的肉”（藏人文化中恶毒的咒骂）等令人恶心的言论。（州长王玉虎被玉树人讽刺为带来地震的祸根，因其名字倒过来念是虎玉王，意味着虎年玉树亡。）
·真诚救援者沦为罪人
还有许多令人惊恐的消息，其中之一是色达喇荣五明佛学院祸从天降。
地震后，各地都有众多寺院或个人志愿者前来救援，色达喇荣五明佛学院也同样有几千名僧侣携带大量救援物资前来。色达喇荣五明佛学院的僧侣们不仅亲手给灾民送去救济款或救灾物资，而且是仔细地分发给城乡所有灾民。
然而，令人匪夷所思的是，真诚地伸出双手救援他人的喇荣五明佛学院却遭到严厉的控制，据说这一切都是遵照中央高官周永康的命令执行的。几天来，色达喇荣五明佛学院的所有负责人被召去，指责他们的救援行动是非法的；指责喇荣五明佛学院加入救援工作是为了宣传，而不是基于慈悲或同情；还说他们自行统计死亡人数等等是对抗政府的行为；并禁止喇荣五明佛学院的僧人参加结古地区所有的超度祈福等法事活动。
这是地震以来第一个被无辜罗织罪名的事件，但肯定不会是最后一个。中国政府希望给那些无助的弱小灾民造成抗震救灾只能求助于政府的感觉，这其实也是抗震救灾的主要目的。也因此，中国政府对其他志愿团体或寺院僧人的巨大援助行为不仅感到非常不满，而且横加阻挠，禁止众多救援组织前往灾区，并不断地一再宣称：送方便面和饮水没有什么实际的帮助，关键时候还是只能靠国家；正因为抱着这样的动机和目的，故而除了自己以外，其他任何的救援行为都不被接受和允准。

Tibetan Weeping: Over 10,000 dead in Yushu Quake, Chinese authorities turned down offers of assistance
4/22/2010
Kan Zhong Guo
April 20 (Tuesday), Qinghai Province Jiegu County (KanZhongGuo)
Chinese authorities have refused offers of assistance from other countries. Ciren, a Tibetan who is at Yushu, sent an SOS SMS at first and later accepted an interview from “the Liberty Times” later on April 15, 2010. He told the newspaper that at least 10,000 people have died in the earthquake. The government spent most of the time digging up bodies and was not able to take care of the survivors and the injured, the vast majority of whom are suffering tremendously. He was worried that the death toll would climb without urgent medical supplies and professionals, tents, food, and warm clothing for the survivors.
The reporter dialed over 20 times before reaching Ciren. He sounded nervous, trembling because of the cold. He said that the local altitude is more than 3,000 meters and the outdoor temperature at night is only four or five degrees. Because the houses on the streets collapsed, most survivors are camping without any shelter. People are hungry and frozen. They are lacking tents, blankets, warm clothing and daily necessities. Their food stocks are enough for only one day. Many of them have been severely injured. Ciren hopes that the coverage will raise awareness of Yushu’s situation and raise international concern.
Meili Zhou, President of Taiwan Friends of Tibet, said that over 10,000 people have died in the earthquake according to information collected through the association. It is greatly different with Chinese state-run media agency Xinhua reports, which said 1,339 bodies have been recovered with 332 missing and about 11,400 injured.
Taiwan Friends of Tibet strongly condemned the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) refusal of Taiwanese rescue efforts. The Party’s behavior for disregard of human lives is very inhumane!
Dawa Tsering, Director of Religious Foundation of H.H. the Dalai Lama, Taipei, also questioned such behavior, pointing out that it is probably an attempt to cover the truth and block any foreign teams from entering Yushu.
Taiwan Friends of Tibet strongly appeal to the CCP to allow the international relief agencies to provide assistance as required. The association will continue to request the Taiwanese government to negotiate with Chinese authorities and grant Taiwan rescue teams access to Yushu.

Three Precious Jewels-Buddha, Dharma and Sangga.

Everything is in temples, therefore, Tibetans pay respect from different directions and prostrating whenever sees any signs of three Jewels. We, Tibetans built our homes also near by monasteries. This way we feel save and secure. Under the protection of monasteries Tibetans have lived for thousand of years.
Monastery is school and we learn things for free, Monasteries is hospital provide us free health care. Nowadays, even monasteries provide us to learn English, Chinese and even schedule villagers to participate Dharma teachings, some of monasteries provide adult centers to special old citizen care.
In our lives , monastic community is indispensable. For example: when people passed away, or some body got sick monastery and monk are places and people to ask for prayer and help. When some body got new baby or get married monastery is the place to get new name for baby and get auspicious dates for matrimony.
One of the most effective service monastery and monks provide is to help so many villages and people when they got argument each other or even fight for any reason monasteries is the place to go Seattle down the cases, specially after Chinese divided all the grassland in nomadic area. Animals didn’t get enough grass to eat. Some family has to protect their own grass yard make sure they have enough grass for their own animal. This new problem brought in nomadic area by Chinese. Some area in the past few lives were lost because of fight on grass to feed animal.
The most happiest activities we do is circumambulations around temples and prayer and to build Mandala offering. Visualization of whole entire world as treasures mountain, rivers, even sun and moon offering to precious three Jewels Buddha, Dharma and Sangga accumulate meritorious deeds.
Unfortunately, devil communist came to Tibet, accused monasteries were the Landlords of exploitation took away monasteries property rights, destroyed all the relic statue of Buddha’s, killed thousands of monks and burnt down all the religious monumental and texts.
My three precious Jewel. Oh glorious monasteries, only thing left behind are destroyed walls and broken ramparts.
Buddha, Dharma and Sangga, we all brutalized and deeply hurt. We are in fear and scaring our lives each and every single day.
China, these were not only damages and sufferings brought to us, The most hurtful is that every time they baselessly accusing our great compassionate leader H.H the Dalai Lama and China‘s constant criticize and propagating Tibetan Exile government is only a group of Post-liberation land Lords.
We all know Tibetan population in exile is from cross the country, majority are from peasants, nomads and our ancestors grazing sheep, yaks, horse escaped under Chinese rains of bullets.
Because our supreme leader H.H’s left is simply sun set above us for ever, life in dark, died or alive simply not different. Everything can change on the world but our faith will never change.
Earth Quack in Yushu in Tibet is a great example. Monks and Nuns first came, selflessly helped thousands regardless racial ethnicity this absolutely proved that Buddha, Dharma and Sangga are our best protection and helper.
Nevertheless after all the hard works monks and nuns have done day and night first few days, for Chinese propaganda TV news camera game, China brought plenty lazy military garages called rescuer team, forcedly ordered Monks withdrawal from the scene, shamelessly criticized monks’ way of rescuer people. After few hours work almost all Chinese rescuers stay group by group just talk and eat even sleep in tents. Nobody really cared about rescuer people underneath debris.
This is such a absurd Drama or disgraceful China’s political game on humanitarian cause.

My beloved country Tibet has truly suffered a unthinkable devastation.
There is no other way to describe pain people are experiencing.
An earthquake of vast portions has hit Yushu with no reservation.
The many aftershocks of the quake have not given in a bit.
Homes flatted out and thousands are victimized.
China still play TV camera game.
To watch the sufferings going through – is such painful.
Only a human soul– you can only bear so much.
Watch the TV in disbelief at what you see – it puts me hopeless.
I swear God Chinese official or rescuers felt nothing –
But played game whenever there was TV camera.
Heartless Chinese rescuer: You are way out of God’s touch!
I have heard of such things happening – I am witnessing it with my own eyes.
I know I am not there – but, I can almost feel their anguish and pain.
God – Please help this my home Tibet and its people – I sigh.
I am proud watch and hear of thousands of monks flood into Yushu
And selflessly offered help and prayed for the victims no longer with us.
China use earth quack for Politic stage-Shame on China.
To the Victims Yushu I offer my prayers, love and support.
You are suffering and there seems, at this time, to be no unpredictable end;
But, with the abundance of outpour from all over the world of undying support,
Our home Yushu will, someday soon, be rebuilt and amend.
Alive Buddha compassion is always on heads of us.
We all work together one drop at time to rebuild lake to ocean.

Massive earthquake devastated China’s Sichuan province two year ago, lost thousands of lives and many thousands are still unknown family finally get chance to register their loved ones for dead.
China’s stupid law intentionally ignored families lost loved ones in earth Quack. 70,000 were killed and 18,000 unknown or yet disappeared in the devastation May 2008.
China’s media press exaggerated so many ways that Chinese Government was stood on top of every possible way to help victims in Quack.
Many thousand of families still in pain and suffering because lake of response and help from government medical, shelters and even foods and cloth. Families only accuse government not help but they also accusing so many Chinese NGOs and governmental organizations abused and corruption on so many millions of dollar donations from all over world.
So many families are still been waiting government response why their children had been killed in such poorly constructed school building used inferior material. Some families spoke out for their dead souls came out stage to honor their only dead child’s spirit which crumbled in when poorly school buildings collapsed. Many of family kids mothers were jailed gave them an additional mental and physical pain and suffering.
It is easy for China to recite their propaganda to attract world attention that they have been pending 96.3 billion dollars for reconstruction family home and school at earth quack zone Sichuan in China. The question is why there are still thousands of Chinese family yet not nearly satisfied what government have done for them. There are much be so many reasons yet to be discovered.
Oh hold down….. I need to go to bath room and I will be right back.
April 14 Yushu earth quack in Tibet is not so much different from Sichuan quack. So many thousand of families lost loved ones and homes were totally flatted by imaginable devastation. Monasteries, temples, office buildings, schools and homes of thousands are rootlessly vanished. Pains and sufferings that families and people in Yushu have been going through is hard to think.
Thousands of monks from so many parts of Tibet rushed to Yushu to save lives and provide any help families need. Monk worked selflessly without food and even waters for days and nights saved so many lives and helped thousand of injured and of course enthusiastically prayed so deeply for our brothers and sisters victimized and let their souls peacefully passing through intermediate state and reborn again. Mothers, daughters, sons smashed up by the all thing still be try to be that compassionate Tibetans and peacefully singing Mantras and recite prayers with thousands of monks around the country came together to pay last respect and watched many heaps of firing bodies our brothers and sisters in cremation.
Where is China? Where were those military rescuers sent to Sichuan to help? Why China took too long come over?
Where there some body or group of Tibetan needs to abuse, China has thousands of military and Policy force ready to jump on, killing, torture, imprison even humiliation and we needs to wonder why China was on slow move when it comes to save lives in Tibet.
Hundreds of people and school children were underneath collapsed building, homes for third day in debris still there wasn’t any sign governmentally help. Only reliability is that thousand of monk’s bear hands dig out holes saved hundred of lives.
Even after some groups of Military came only thing they did was dig out some hole here and there. Screamed and yelled for few hours and then slowed down. For they most important thing act on camera. Whenever media or press of news reporter comes they acted like crazy as soon as camera go away nobody really cared about anything.
According comment from Tibet, A father was begging a group of Chinese rescuers to help him dig his daughter inside collapsed building, they told him that “ Now is lunch time, you wait here and we will be right back after lunch” but nobody came back after lunch break.
China shouted loud on TV but acted very little and disorganized and humiliated thousand monks hard works of whole rescue processes. Fifth day of earth quack Hu came to visit Tibet. He promised Tibetans to rebuild their lives. He picked up a chalk and wrote on a blackboard in front of Hundreds. “You will have school and you all will homes, I promise you” he kept saying that until he walked away from Yushu.
The question is now; How soon all Tibetan families have livable home and kids have school to go to and monks have temples to do studies and prayer? How much money China plan to spend ? Is it just rely on sole international helps and donations? Or China will treat Tibetan no different from Sichuan Chinese plan to spend billions for million homes and school? What about their future? Is there any governmentally plan to help Tibetans to sustain their lives during this hardship?
This is a very great opportunity for China to prove that they care about Tibetans and stay on promises that they made to rebuild and bridge the trust between local Tibetans and Chinese government.
China this is chance, Good luck

Even after some groups of Military came only thing they did was dig out some hole here and there. Screamed and yelled for few hours and then slowed down. For they most important thing act on camera. Whenever media or press of news reporter comes they acted like crazy as soon as camera go away nobody really cared about anything.
According comment from Tibet, A father was begging a group of Chinese rescuers to help him dig his daughter inside collapsed building, they told him that “ Now is lunch time, you wait here and we will be right back after lunch” but nobody came back after lunch break.
China shouted loud on TV but acted very little and disorganized and humiliated thousand monks hard works of whole rescue processes. Fifth day of earth quack Hu came to visit Tibet. He promised Tibetans to rebuild their lives. He picked up a chalk and wrote on a blackboard in front of Hundreds. “You will have school and you all will homes, I promise you” he kept saying that until he walked away from Yushu.
The question is now; How soon all Tibetan families have livable home and kids have school to go to and monks have temples to do studies and prayer? How much money China plan to spend ? Is it just rely on sole international helps and donations? Or China will treat Tibetan no different from Sichuan Chinese plan to spend billions for million homes and school? What about their future? Is there any governmentally plan to help Tibetans to sustain their lives during this hardship?
This is a very great opportunity for China to prove that they care about Tibetans and stay on promises that they made to rebuild and bridge the trust between local Tibetans and Chinese government.
China this is chance, Good luck
