Q3b: There are American Buddhists who have been convinced that the Dalai Lama should be returned to power. They are probably ignorant of the historical facts, and their convictions are lead by their "spiritual" beliefs. I don't think that all American Buddhists agree with the Hollywood buddhists, though.
There have been abuses by the Chinese gov't, but the dictatorship under the Lamadom was far worse for the peasants. Tibet is to China what Alaska is to the US.
Q1: Serfs are NOT ALLOWED TO TRAVEL. You're mixing up serfdom and slavery.
Q2: Your question is wrong: Tibet DID have an army. The serfs were drafted into it. Where are you getting your history?
Q3: The Tibetan religious, financial and military exiles have been lobbying the US gov't since being kicked out during the Cold War, & the CIA was willing to covertly help defeat the Communists to a certain extent, but Tibet was not geopolitically important enough to assure victory for the exiles.
I think your comments are insightful. Also realize that it was a religious ruled region after the British invadion in 1940s, and before the 1950s China's reclaim of the land.
Sexual exploitation and slavery are voluntery. Search for "A year in Tibet", a Documentary by BBC. The commentator did not like communism but they showed (in my opinion) 95% nake truth there.
There are, though as everyone'd suspect, they (what I have seen so far) come from Chinese sources. It is interesting to note that very few aged people (except tibetan clergy, political associates, and westerners) aggressively pursue "free tibet".

I've seen ones that don't care about Dalai Lama, not yet outright hatred. I doubt rancor exists, as "Dalai Lama" has religious and theological connotations.
Seems the people who love Dalai Lama are his political supporters and followers
As a matter of fact, I've seem "pro-tibet supports" saying most tibetans are willing to align with the chinese rather than separatists. Of course, many demand better conditions and looser control.
1.slave masters try hard to prevent slaves from running away, very few slaves make it away (think about US slavery, except on a land that is not easily accessible)
there are a total of 3 millions tibetans, so I dont think ur "millions running away" is true
2.of course there was an army in Tibet, who do u think the chinese had to fight when they "invaded"???
how do u think they started the uprising some 40 years without arms???
because the 500 words limitation, i said end up in hell, it's not like the concept of hell in the sense of Muslim or Christianity, anyone who criticizes the DL who end up in endless cycle of low life form reincarnation as it's the most hard bearing on one's karma. (why? it's part of the Lama doctrine)
Not respecting your teacher means bad karma -but it is no very bad of scale ! However, being critical is central to our relegion ! Thats how we have progreessed and possess the one of the richiest philisophy of the world now
A. For thousand of years, Tibetans were told Buddhahood was the answer to their sufferings, but they were too dumb to understand the teaching of Buddha by themselves, too low caste to achieve better reincarnation, so Dalai Lama ('the supreme Qwan Yin Buddha') reincarnated to lead them to enlightenment.
Without Dalai Lama Tibetans were hopeless. And being a supremo of Tibetans, anyone shows any disrespect or criticize DL, would end up in hell.
First buddhs or Dala lama principle or teaching is -- Don't belive-just because he said --go against it--try to prove it wrong --if you dnt do that --you are not budhist !
I guess you must have read about some other relegion
I do believe China troops shot and killed people. However, I also believe those guys should be killed, not only in China, but also in other countries.
Those desperate people are those rich guys or rich monks who left China with DaiLai LaMa or their kids. That's why all Tibetans you met overseas love DaLai LaMa.
Think about it. If you are a slave, could you afford to pay the expense and leave China? You are too naive and stupid.
Q4: How many camcorders do you think were in Tibet in 1959?
Q5: The Tibetans who hate the Dalai Lama are mostly in Tibet.

His Holiness accepted the fact himself, and showed his grievance himself. Why worship a human being the way brainless Red Guard did to Mao?

You want to say the Tibetans you met outside china were Slaves or their kids? Fuck youself up! Idiots.

I spent three years in Tibet working in villages on solar passive buildings ...everyone there really do not like your Government!
I am just wondering what makes you think that Tibet was such a bad society ?
Those who flee are poorest of the poor ! come to nepal and India (walking thru mountaisn) they have nothing in hand except thier rosery !
Qestion still remain --why so much protest inside Tibet ? Forget outside tibetains !!

Maybe we need to use more troops there. It is simple.
What my friend heard is totally different from what you said.
I doubt what you said.

Before 1951, 90% of population are slaves.
Those desperate people are those rich guys or rich monks who left China with DaiLai LaMa or their kids. That's why all Tibetans you met overseas love DaLai LaMa.
