YouTube video by furhhdl Peace of Mind from a Buddhist Perspective: The Dalai Lama's Reflections

Growing up, the most familiar sound in our house was the Dalai Lama's voice playing on a tape recorder in my Dad's study. His Holiness & Buddhist teachings were the light that helped my father navigate the most difficult times. And now the same is true for me.

In Tibet, Chinese Boarding Schools Reshape the ‘Souls of Children’ Across China’s west, the Communist Party is placing children in boarding schools to assimilate a generation of Tibetans into the national mainstream and mold them into loyal citizens.

China is separating Tibetan children from their families and placing them in boarding schools for assimilation and heavy political indoctrination. Many Tibetans fear a whole generation of children will lose their culture, religion and language.

China reports problems at five reservoirs in Tibet after earthquake Chinese authorities in Tibet have detected problems, including cracks, at five out of 14 hydropower dams that they have inspected since a magnitude 6.8 earthquake rocked the southwest region last week, an emergency official said on Thursday.

Reuters article reveals several of China’s dams in Tibet have been damaged from the recent earthquake. The damming of rivers in a seismically active country like Tibet poses great risks, which China often downplays.

China's "placing children in boarding schools in a drive to assimilate a generation of Tibetans into the national mainstream and mold them into citizens loyal to the Communist Party... Parents do not see their children for long stretches." By Chris Buckley for NYTimes:

What’s in a Name? Tibet, Xizang, and the Politics of Erasure Museums are guardians of historical narratives and play inherently political roles in shaping perceptions across time and space.

As Phuntsok Norbu, chairman of the Tibetan Community in Britain, explains, the Silk Roads exhibition at #BritishMuseum
exemplifies “the museum’s role in shaping global understanding of a culture that is actively being suppressed.”

Great reporting. Excruciating reading.

#China govt family separations, forced assimilation, persecution, physical & psychological abuse of #Tibetan children are *crimes.* Yet it's #humanrights defenders like #TashiWangchuk who are jailed for calling it out.

The earthquake in Tibet is a nightmare on top of a nightmare.

The majority of Tibetan school-age children have been separated from their families and made to live in state-run boarding schools.

This includes 4 & 5-years olds whose parents have no choice but to send them to boarding preschools.

China's Panchen Lama Visit Raises Concerns Over Nepal’s Geopolitical Neutrality Lumbini, Nepal – The upcoming visit of Gyaltsen Norbu, the Chinese-appointed 11th Panchen Lama, has raised questions about Nepal’s geopolitical positioning and its role in Beijing’s ...
