Too bad they are protesting, it's a good way to make sure the problem remains, as you always get what you put your thoughts towards. So if you are protesting something you will get more of what you protest. if those monks spent more time in meditations and less time protesting they might not have these problems
one of the main aspects about buddha`s teaching is action...buddha himself was a " revolutionary" man, he also protested and took actions agains what he´d saw as unfair and atempting against the humand dignity. Buddism isnt only about exclude yourself into a monastery to meditate and sort out problems but take action and help the rest of the people to find happiness and peace. what you find bad most be the political dimension of it. blessings
I don't think meditating in a monastery is anything like what buddha taught.
But complaining against what you don't like gives what you don't like power.
Put your attention to what you want not what you don't want. Fighting against what you don't want simply gives it power to fight back. Maybe that is a little more clear.
More nonsense comments below. It was the brother of the Dalai Lama who asked the help of CIA. America helped China a lot, also by investing money during ww2 otherwise whole China would be eating sushi and talk Japanese.
Nonsense comment below. 'Your government' is nothing more than a surpressing CCP government violating human rights and torturing their own Chinese people and Tibetans to death if not giving them a living hell in Laogai camps.
Most of the West (and most of Chinese) didn't even know that His Holiness of Dalai Lama is NOT the leader of Tibet Independence movement, which is a secular group.
matrixbug: UR SOOO ignorant about Buddhist monks. Buddhist is all about Peaceful,loving,caring,kindness,compassionate to all living things on earth,forgiveness,nonvionlence and soo much more. By the way China has the most Buddhist in the "World".
in 17th,18th centray, those monks in Tibet was killing each other for the power, the King of China called them in and assigned a governor for them, and give the governor the name of "DaLai" and "BanChan" and so on. They still ruled by Chinese government, it haven't been changed.
I understand some of what you are saying. You are right that the monks should not used violence, I myself, a buddhist, was upset over the revolt in Tibet and the violence that followed by the monks. But, Tibet should be free, but in a peaceful, non-violent way.
"in a peaceful manner" it's easy to say from distantance. Psychologically is proven if one has to go through on and on through humaliating, it can turn into rebel. Tibetans are not holly, please see us a human being, not more.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
for being a buddhist, will you support your temple to overrun your government, or seperate and being independent country, lead by bounch of Monks and Nuns?? let's say in Thailand, or in India.
First learn something about history. The DL never wanted to be political. And certainly no political leader. The panchen lama was the political leader, but is now the youngest political prisoner of the CCP. About the rest of your comment... it's to stupid to even try to answere it.
and i found cnn always do that , to force you to think what they want. Dalai is the head of tibet, no part of the tibet religous system and slavery system, of course , when he and his men lost every thing , they will hate the china, but think about the normal people in tibet, the slaves, life must be better, so free the slaves is more important thant free dalai and his man.
having see this ,and wonder why every time cnn went to interview the FREE TIBET and someone in Dalasalan, there is no response from really land of tibet in china.this is a fair news, if you want fair ,you must listen to two side,
First off, it was Nepal and secondly, his name was siddhartha gautama... not Buddha. xD

Tibetan Monks are so f*cked up, seeking violence way to challenge a government authority.
How about overrun the Indian government, since much more Buddha believers are living there, China is not your holly land, neither Tibet.

Unlike the EVIL communist party the Tibetan Government is democratic.
Tibet is NOT part of China.
Even CCTV says the Tibetan Autonomous Region NOT the Chinese Tibetan Autonomous Region.

There were NO serfs, slaves or indentured farmers in Tibet in 1948.
Tibetans and Chinese are the SLAVES of the evil communist party in 2009.
