These patriotic education campaigns now a standard feature of life in Tibetan monasteries and nunneries. They are one of many tools Chinese leaders use to tighten party control of a religion whose charismatic leader, the 72-year-old Dalai Lama, is revered in Tibet, respected around the world and viewed in Beijing as a threat to the partys supremacy.

"the milkandcoffee' is deluding himself/herself. 888reventon is right... China is an authoritative state but the Dalai Lama is a wannabe spiritual "leader"

[jrohagan]

What exactly constitutes a "spiritual leader" then?

[TheMilkandcoffe]

TO 888reventon

stop deluding yourself

[888reventon]

If the dalai lama is really all about non violence why hasn't he ever condemned the west for its war crimes in iraq, afghanistan, vietnam or any war for the matter, not even the middle east???

China doesn't have a president, not the whole world uses one system, it's a communist government, it has a chairman system like Mao in the 1940's (I'm not trying to be biased or anything 'cause I'm Taiwanese so I try to stay away from mainland affairs)

[beancube2008]

Buddha is not Lama. Religious language deceived the world into believing their system picks those monks. They were actually the rulers of the lands who had ruled parts of China. Chinese shared what they own with them in a long history. Many people in China are different and they all learned how disastrous comings from conflict mismanagement. Chinese won't allow anyone take part of China to stir wars. Her first president had been betrayed by the running away GMT.

[mimmersk]

wasn't he an author of some dalai lama book?

If ForaTV wants to be more credible, try to invite speakers or experts who are able to give you different perspective, not always Dalai Lama perspective from his sympathizers.

Even this guy has said it himself, most overseas exile Tibetans have never been to Tibet or China. What does that really tell you? Guess for yourself.

[newties21]

I chanced upon this channel and surfing some videos, I found them interesting, but was dismayed and disappointed to see yet another biased video & biased 'speaker/ author' discussing Tibet.

The video description is already taking a non-neutral stance and completely prejudiced itself when it says 'Chinese occupation of Tibet'. Yes indeed this 'occupation' has happened for centuries, including the most recent period before 1951, why dont you check your own encyclopedia and maps?

Disappointed..

[reticulation]

That part at the end when he says "centuries" really impacted me because it's true.
