A recently released book about the Dalai Lama shows a different, darker side of the person deified by some Western politicians and media experts.
Maxime Vivas' "Not So 'Zen': The Hidden Side Of The Dalai Lama," the first book of its kind published in the West, refutes the long-time self-beatification of the Dalai Lama.
Confusion-and-curiosity driven, Vivas conducted a truth-seeking trip to Tibet in the summer of 2010 with several other French journalists.
He found a Tibet different from what has been described by the Western media -- Tibetan is used in local TV and radio programs, newspapers and shop signs, the language is also taught at local universities, and Tibet's environment is well protected.
"What I saw in Tibet is not like what I read from the French press and books," he said after a year-long research on the Dalai Lama and Tibet.
Under the guise of non-violence and religion, the Dalai Lama, who appeared as a spiritual leader in exile, was seeking to restore his rule in Tibet, Vivas said in the 130-page French-language book.
He also made clarifications on Tibetan history, saying Tibet has never been independent and has been part of China from the 14th century.
Vivas, a French author and journalist who has published more than 10 books, said his research material mainly came from speeches, interviews and books of the Dalai Lama during different periods.
He said his book, published on Aug. 18, was aimed at displaying historical and realistic truths about Tibet that had been covered up by the Dalai Lama all along.
Vivas said he wanted to refute the Dalai Lama camp's lies by quoting their own words.
"Based on the word of the Dalai Lama in his transcribed memoirs and also in his speeches during his trips abroad, Maxime Vivas highlights opportunism, omissions, tricks, and lies of a man and his kingdom," the publisher Max Milo Editions said in a statement.
"In a plea for secularism, the author raises the question of what would be a 'Free Tibet' led by a recalcitrant prophet in front of science and freedom of worship," the publisher said, while presenting a briefing of a feudal system decades ago under the Dalai Lama and the free primary education system in today's Tibet that has brought down the region's illiteracy.
You are a brave and wonderful people one day things will change for nothing stays the same, be strong, believe in the good for good thing happen with good intentions. FREE TIBET
How sad and pathetic that the tibetan exile fanatics are now using a kid whose not old enough to know the feudal ways of old tibet as their new tool of propaganda. Instilling in him a sense of hatred and animosity towards the chinese since he was a baby. Tibetans need the love and compassion of Jesus Christ!!!
@jewish warrior 666 Mmm! look..the young boy knows who he is and what is needed within his path. I doubt he would be full of hatred. for hatred is for others. No, no, no! he learns by example by the teachings of Buddha. If only man would listen and understand about true freedom, and it not within slavery of any kind, but from within one self .that comes the answer of love compassion harmoney.
I just don't agree with you. With all the challenges facing mankind I'm just not convinced that reestablishing a 21st century feudal theocracy is a priority. If the dalai lama and his exile fanatics are such champions of freedom of religion then why are they suppressing the shugden worshippers, isn't that hypocritical??? I'll take his words seriously when he allows tibetans to follow the love and compassion of Jesus Christ and until then we need to take his word with a bucket of salt!
Free Tibet! Whatever happened to people just getting along and treating everyone else with respect and compassion? My one true dream is for WORLD PEACE. A tall order I know. This young man is just precious.
tashi delek dorjee tsering lak, very good message to the world and this could be a very good example for all other tibetan parents and kids. tenzin palden you are the best.
for last more than 20 years same word lhaksam and fighting for free Tibet, i remember each and every moment that we spent time as childwood and you were also talking about cause of free Tibet and never give up. i salute you and i am sure your work will give a result one day. free Tibet. Thank You to you and specially to your family for supporting your work
