I'm quite certain that neither Elie Wiesel nor His Holiness would agree with you. You should watch the President's section in the series. Those words meant a lot to the Tibetans, including those living under occupation. News gets around. Many Tibetans later saw this event via illegal vdo's, and some went to jail for that.
You may not like Bush, but you should still listen to what he said. Honourable words that HHDL and his people appreciated (and which of course made the PRC blind angry).
Elie Wiesel has never condemned crimes committed by George Bush, never condemned the Israeli bombing of Beirut in 1982, the recent bombing of Lebanon that displaced 500,0000 people, never condemned the recent Israeli slaughter of Gazans. There's no reason he shouldn't feel quite comfortable with Bush.
Free Tibet, Free Tibet From the Dalai Lama Institution!
"The Dalai Lama office was an institution created to benefit others. It is possible that it will soon have outlived its usefulness." -- Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
Sad his holyness would accept the prise of worst american president W.G.Bush, an killer under the clothe of Demorcracy- a loughing stock in the world. Sad to say his Holiness would like to be uesed by those once bullied, killed in old China and made huge fortune in today China. I do hope that Dalai will go Back to teach the young Banzan lama, give the government good advice on how governing Tibet better to wonder around to giving lessons to those fake buddhists in the west, China need U more!
All the US Congressmen want to go to war with China, to distact their problems internally and Iraq as well as Afghanistan. You are fooled by the USA, my dear! They are using Dalai to go against China, so they can have an excuse to go to war, they want China to be weak! DOn't you understand? They don't want a strong China, it threatens them!
Pathetic isn't it. The call is out for all patriots of the glorious CCP Empire to go to battle in chat rooms for the motherland. For the right to crush Tibet once and for all.
Here's good way to help spread the truth. You should check it out at w w w . p s i p h o n . c a. It's the very tool that Tibetans and Chinese need to circumvent PPC control of the internet. Tibet cannot be stopped by Mao's lackeys, FREE TIBET! : 什么是psiphon？
Banzaidawan; I think many people know that it isn't true what you say. But I know that China's government won't change and I'm afraid it waits until H.H. is no longer among us. In the hope to interfere when a new one is chosen, like they did with the Panchen Lama. I don't blame the Chinese people and beautiful culture but it's government.
tibet needs china's help to modernize into what? a poverty stricken state concerned with cosumerism just like the rest of the "developed"/"civilized" world? i'm not one for a theocracy at all but tibet was superior in everyway before china went in and started to destroy the country and its culture, so the tibetan government was doing something right. maybe china should learn from the dalai lama on how to run a country with compassion instead of through fear and oppression.
WOW, I read ELI WIESEL'S account of his experience in the holocaust when I was a 13, I knew he survived the holocaust and no disrespect but I did not know he was still alive.Great speech.
yeah he's great. if you read "Night" then you should read "Dawn" and "The Accident" also because they make up a trilogy. schools don't promote the rest of the trilogy for certain reasons you my come to find if you read it but it is deeply moving and thought provocking, and i think the school system does a disservice to read "Night" separately.
His Holiness is my teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher, and our hero. He is the most wise, most kind person on the planet and has done so much to alleviate suffering in the world. He brings tears of joy to my eyes....

Brutally, communist chinese has shot over 150 Tibetans on the streets of lhasa and thats called brutally oppressed.
China has imprisoned hundreds of its journalist who commited a crime called "freedom of expression"
In August 1983, Chen Renjie was sentenced to death, and Lin was sentenced to death with reprieve.

The award was given by unanimous vote by the entire US Congress (all parties), President Bush was there to show his own support for their decision.
If you want Dalai Lama to go back to Tibet, convince the communist government to allow him back.

Is it true that after the dalai lamas die they spin around in a magnificant ball of lights then go into another realm of spirituality?

Relax everyone. His Holiness the Dalai Lama said:
* He promotes Tibet autonomy, not independence.
* Tibet needs China's help to modernize.
Tibet has been a part of China for 800 years. You can argue all you want, but that's just the FACT.
