HH the Dalai Lama at Buddhist Conference in Germany

Every generation, brings certain changes and fine-tunement into every society, and Tibetans are no different. Our Global village is evolving simultaneously and we are all assimilating each others values. Deng Xiao Oing used to say to the Chinese, the ones who resisted change, "To make an omelette, you have to crack the eggs."

I used to have a lot of respect for the Dalai Lama and his teachings. Since the recent orchestrated Riots in Lhasa, capital of Tibet, China and the disruption of a worldly event, The Olympic Games, the Tibetans certainly has lost a great deal of respect from Billions of people amongst the 200 plus participating countries. If the whole world were to only adopt Tibetan meditation practices without any form of exercise, how can one develop a Healthy Mind and Body. Heroes competes - Losers disrupt.

First of all, the Dalai Lama is not the only Tibetan leader and for many too peaceful. What is highly questionsble is if China should have been given the honour of hosting the olympic games (Ok, worst cases exist). As for Tibet, a bit of historical impartial reading there is no surprise the olympics are taken hostage. The invasion in the 30s intended to erradicate a neighbouring religios centre (dangerous anticomunist ideas?), a cultural genocide which is refuted by the chinese government.

By the way, China is very lucky that the Tibetan culture does not promote real violent resistance. If it was not like this the consequences could have been considerably worse. I feel little sympathy for the rather symbolic political embarrassment of a country that wants to be a superpower. It is a normal price to pay, wellcome to visibilty and responsibility at international scale. What I hope is not disrupted is the performance of the sportsmen and women later.

I am not sure that your statement of non-violent attitude applied to all Tibetanns. China has never demanded to be a Superpower. Taking lessons from its historical past, it has strenghtened itself for self-defense of its nation..Tibet is so lucky that it belongs to China. If it had belonged to Iraq, you can imagined what would happened now. Do you remember Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad? So be grateful to the motherland Who is protecting Tibetan minorities of China from U.S. Imvasion.

China's contribution to modern Olympic events had been very positive and a leading Medal receipient in Asia. It had raised the standards never seen before and it is indeed good for the world's humanity. It is very tasteless for anybody to hijack a Global event for a personal cause, whatever it may be. Politics and Sports certainly are seperate issues. The term cultural genocide is an improper statement, as nothing in this world remains the same, and it never, ever will.
