"These days the monks here in the Dalai Lama's personal monastery, the Namgyal, are also contemplating the fate of Tibet.

The country's parliament in exile has approved the Dalai Lama's request for an emergency session in November to debate the future direction.

This follows the Tibetan protests and Chinese crackdown in March. For the 130,000 Tibetan exiles, the question is whether to continue with their spiritual leader's "middle way" approach towards China - neither accepting Tibet's present status under Beijing nor seeking independence from Chinese rule. Some now question the middle path after the exile government counted 200 dead from the crackdown and an undetermined number of monks and lay people missing".
