GCP: Why can't Dalai Lama return home?
by:Sophia Zhang 2007-12-16 02:19:17
The Canadian newspaper, Global Chinese Press (GCP for short, WWW.GCPNEWS.COM) released a signed article by Li Mu on December 10, 2007 with a title of "Why can't Dalai Lama return home?" and the full text is as the follows:
Recently the Dalai Lama becomes hot again as Canada, the USA and Germany suddenly remember to propagate this guy while the Dalai Lama as well as his clique is not satisfied with being left alone. Whenever the Dalai appears, there would be some "noise" and "let Dalai Lama go home" is a typical example. This article wants to have a discussion on why Dalai Lama can't go home.
According to my observation, the Chinese government never says they don't allow the Dalai Lama to go back home and they even put aside the penal offence of the Dalai clique's armed rebellion and illegally crossing the national border. In fact, it is the Dalai Lama himself who refuses to return home. For half a century, Dalai always had chances to go back home, but his clique together with himself insisting on being against China, have cut off the Tibetan Buddhism exile's home-way.
For years, especially in recent years, Dalai's against China activities mainly fall in the following aspects:
Dalai sticks to "Tibetan independence" theory system.
As the "Tibetan independence" theory means a lot, all the Chinese people as well as the Chinese government can't accept a theory with the following contents: Tibet is an independent country in history; China is the benefactor while Tibet acts as the lama; "greater Tibet" and religious high-degree autonomy. Actually, it is a "Tibetan independence" system.
Dalai has hoodwinked many people as he pretended to declare giving up "Tibetan independence", but what he said is only a kind of veil and can't conceal the substance of his "Tibetan independence" theory system. As a matter of fact, the reincarnation for great lamas in Tibet was conferred and approved by the central government since the Qing Dynasty established the titles of Dalai and Panchen, but now, Dalai persists in a kind of reincarnation controlled by he and his clique. What the clique called "greater Tibet" includes the whole Tibet, Qinghai, southern part of Gansu, western Sichuan and northern and western Yunnan with a total area of 2-2.5 million square kilometers, taking up a quarter of China's territory. With such an enormous area, the clique tries to carry out a so-called "high-degree autonomy", isn't it a request for independence or what?
Dalai insists on ceaselessly being against the Chinese government.
The Dalai Lama established a government-in-exile and launched activities with a stance of a "refugee". He stirred up Tibetans to cross the national border and directed the Tibetan monks for illegal activities; he rushed for the Nobel Prize of Peace and drew the Golden Medal from the USA Congress. Actually, some speeches delivered by Dalai are really ridiculous, e.g., Dalai alleged that the Chinese government restricted the birthrate of Tibetans as they wanted to make the Tibetans die out by controlling birthrate. Without saying£¬he purposely wanted to stain China's name with slander.
Dalai pays more attention to the profit of his clique even in spite of his Buddhism image.
Tibetan Buddhism has a tradition of politics and religion combination while Dalai has inherited this tradition. He and his followers of course are clear that the "greater Tibet" never exists. But in his clique, those from different areas who stirred up the rebellion belong to the so-called "greater Tibet". All those tribal chief, living Buddha, serf master and native-official from Qinghai, west Sichuan and Gansu's Gannan didn't wish to abandon their interests as they didn't belong to the bound of "Agreement on Measure for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet(the 17-Article Agreement)", so they chose to exile with Dalai and since that the Dalai Lama became their spokesman. Although all the Buddhists can't tell a lie, Dalai has to insist on a "greater Tibet" for the sake of his "followers".
Dalai can't return home as he has deserted the Chinese government's trust. It was in 1980s that the Chinese government had invited Dalai to go back to China to have a look and his family members were also welcomed if he, himself couldn't return. Unfortunately, they organized another rebellion based upon their visit. Furthermore, Dalai even waded in the reincarnation of Panchen Lama and this guy presented no cooperation with the Chinese government.
Dalai can't return home because of his clique and mainly due to the support from the western countries such as the USA, Germany and Canada. Here comes the ugly side of the western countries: separation of religion from politics is the development trend of human society and it was as early as 100 years before, the USA, Germany and Canada have established a regime with separation of religion from politics. But it is those countries that support such a clique with politics and religion combination, sustain such a Buddhism leader for long-term political activities.
The double standard is easy seen here and there in the western countries while Dalai is not the only leader for politics and religion combination supported by the USA, there are many such incidents in the Middle East. Of course, the American government won't allow any religious leader to play roles in their own politics as it will surely bring great harm to the healthy development of the nation.

Tibetans against Dalai Lama's return

Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the regional government of Tibet Autonomous Region, speaks at a press conference in Beijing June 20, 2007. [china.org.cn]
( Qiangba Puncog is a native Tibetan, born and raised in Tibet )
The chairman of the regional government of Tibet Autonomous Region has said that the majority of Tibetan people do not want the Dalai Lama to return to the region.
Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the regional government, was asked to comment, at a press conference in Beijing, on two letters written by Puncog Wanggyai, a member of the Communist Party in Tibet, to Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2004 and 2005 asking for permission to let the Dalai Lama come back to Tibet. He was asked if the letters represented the view of the majority of the Tibetan people.
"I have not seen the letters but I have heard about the content. The content I know about differs greatly from the common opinions held by the majority of the Tibetan people," he said.
"His (Puncog Wanggyai) opinion does not represent the view of the majority of Tibetan people, nor does it represent views of the majority of officials in Tibet. It only represents a handful of people," said Puncog.
"The Dalai Lama travels around the world in Buddhist robes not for religious matters but to make Tibet issue an international one and to realize his own political purposes," he said.
He said the Dalai Lama's pursuit of autonomy or establishment of the greater Tibetan area actually disguised his pursuit of independence.
"People from the Dalai Lama side believe, 'once this succeeds, independence is not far away', and this reveals what they really want to do," he said.
Puncog said the channel of communication with the Dalai Lama and his personal representative has always been open. "I think the key question lies in the Dalai Lama giving up the claims of independence and separatist activities," he said, "we all expect him to show his sincerity and truly do some good deeds for the Tibetan people and the country during his lifetime."

Qian Xiaoqian, deputy director of State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China is making a speech in the forum, Nov. 29, 2007.
Tibet will further open up to the outside world and attract more direct foreign investment while promoting ecological and environmental protection, Nyima Tsering, vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, said here Thursday.
"We shall participate in domestic and international economic cooperation and competition in more fields and on a higher level, and strengthen cross-regional economic and technological exchanges and cooperation," Tsering said at the opening of "the First Forum on the Development of Tibet, China" in Vienna.
He said Tibet would work hard to develop an open economy and promote regional economic and trade cooperation on different levels and by various means, especially with southern Asian countries, in the wake of the launch of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
In his speech, Nyima Tsering elaborated on the progress achieved by Tibet over the past four decades and the challenges facing Tibetans.
He said that to pursue sustainable and balanced development of the autonomous region, Tibet must continuously push forward the "frog-leap" mode in economic and social development, accelerate infrastructure construction and promote the construction of "a new countryside."
It is a priority of the Tibetan government to improve the working and living conditions of farmers and herdsmen and increase their incomes, he said.
Tibet will also deepen reform and innovate systems, he added.
"We shall follow the established path of market economy development, treat the market as a guiding force, and continue to actively reform the investment and financing mechanism so as to attract more investment," he said.
According to Nyima Tsering, since the establishment of the Tibetan autonomous region, Tibet has been in the best period of economic development with the fastest economic growth thanks to the strong support of the central government of China and unselfish assistance by other parts of the country.
Tibet has maintained an economic growth rate of over 12 percent for the past six consecutive years, and in 2006, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the region reached 29.1 billion yuan (about 3.93 billion U.S. dollars), 89 times that of 1965, he said.
Over the last four decades, Tibet has witnessed comprehensive progress in social construction, he said.
"A fairly complete modern educational and medical care system has been installed in Tibet," he added.
There are six universities, 118 high schools, seven intermediate vocational schools and 880 elementary schools in Tibet, with a total enrollment of 540,000 students and attendance of 96.5 percent of the school-age population, he elaborated.
The life of the Tibetan people has improved significantly over the past four decades, he said.
"Social stability is being continuously maintained and people are enjoying their life and work," he said.
In his words, Tibet is a region rich in local resources, such as abundant grasslands, mineral, water, forest, flora and fauna, and tourist resources, which have created great conditions for Tibet's development.
But to achieve further progress, Tibet faces much challenges, he pointed out, citing weak infrastructure basis, investment and vulnerable ecological environment among others.
"We deeply understand we must make a lore more effort in the long run, and will sincerely implement a human-oriented and scientific outlook for coordinated and sustainable development, and work hard to solve existing problems while adhering to a policy of reform and development," he added.
The senior Tibetan leader encouraged people around the world to visit Tibet more instead of listening to "untrue" and "unfriendly" reports about the region.
"Tibet is a place where people live happily and also a beautiful tourist resort," he said. "I believe a fast-growing and new Tibet will leave every visitor an unforgettable memory."
The two-day forum on Tibet is jointly sponsored by the State Council Information Office of China, the Chinese embassy in Austria, the permanent mission of China to the United Nations and other international organizations in Vienna and Austrian organizations including the Organization to Support the Austrian and Chinese Economic Cooperations.

Primary School on Roof-of-the-World
http://pic.people.com.cn/GB/31655/6543727.html
This unique Primary School is located on Roof-of-the-World, 5573 meters above sea-level.
The Government of China is committed to provide a free-of-charge and compulsory education for every Tibetan child.
The Central Government of China invested a huge sum of money to re-build this school from ruins in 1986, so that the children of the nomads can receive an education.
This school covers an area of 8400 square meters and the building provides a useful area of 1221 square meters. The children are too far away from their nomadic families and are all staying in this boarding school for the entire school term.
Every morning the whole school will be singing the China national anthem.
The windows of this school are installed with double layers(rarely seen in China) due to winter fourty below temperature.
This school uses the latest technology, i.e. teaching Fine Art with computerized CD equipment.
The six teachers in this school and some of their students.
There are 141 students and all stay in this boarding school. It is too far from their nomadic camps. Students will learn how to take care of their bedding.
The school principal (also a teacher) is teaching his student how to read/write Tibetan.
The school principal's wife decided to move to such high altitude location, just to help out cooking tasks at the school.
Teaching Biology and practice it with a micropscope.
Students using computer aided equipments and internet access receive long distance educational training.
The cracks on a young face of every student review the hardship of the sun at high-altitude and lack of oxygen. It takes a very dedicated teaching staff to remain working long term in this special school.
The students automatically line up for their meals during lunch hours. This is a very well organized school.
Older students are serving rice (the main dish) to the students.
A study of the food being served, it reviews that students receive a very well-balanced diet.
After lunch being served, students are having fun at the school play ground.
During the Dalai Lama era there was no school or university, a child had to join one of the Monasteries to receive an education and that was the reason why many Tibetan mothers were forced by their own clans to give up their love ones to the Monasteries. Today, no Tibetan mother has to make such a decision.
The truth is that during the Dalai Lama era most Tibetan women were second class citizens and very seldom had any chance of an education. Today, all Tibetan children, both boys and girls, have equal chances of a free-of-charge and compulsory education. Tibetan women today provide a major and essential workforce in the government of Tibet Autonomous Region.
Without Lhamo Toinzhub(14th Dalai Lama), Tibet is better off today!
In 1951 Lhamo Toinzhub signed widely known as 'the 17 Pacts'
to run Tibet for Chairman Mao until he sneaked out in 1959.
For almost 9 years Lhamo Toinzhub had worked for Chairman Mao.

In 1959 conned by then Ambassador in India(Henderson) at his own free will,
Lhamo Toinzhub left Tibet and thus had given up his right to run Tibet.
As an early version of Iranian Czar or Filipino Marcos, he was tricked to leave Tibet.
Since 1959 for 49 years Tibet Autonomous Region has been run by capable
native Tibetans, most of whom were a SERF during Dalai Lama era.
These Tibetan leaders should be the only people who can make decisions
for the future of Tibet Autonomous Region, NOT Lhamo Toinzhub.
He has neither Tibetans' Trust nor experience to run Democratic and Modern Tibet.
Tibetans do not want someone both a Political and Religious leader to head Tibet.
Why do nations want to have Tibet returned to a SERF system under Dalai Lama?
It is because they want to control Tibet with a puppet like Dalai Lama.
This will lead Tibet into neither Democratic nor 'Freedom of Choice'.
Our World is enough to have only one Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini !
Lhamo Toinzhub has to realize Tibet today is a well established society,
and stop allow himself being used as a puppy by nations against China.
It is sincerely hope before his approaching death Lhamo Toinzhub
(14th Dalai Lama) will give up his so called 'Tibet Independence'
and for once in entire life doing something good for people of Tibet.
The only way to avoid ending up in history like Iranian Czar or Filipino Marcos!
