Tibet religion is Buddhism. The Buddhism in Tibet came from India in 7th century during the reign of King Songtsen Gampo who was married to Napail princess, and Chinese princess both of which were Buddhist. After Songster Gampo Landama had got the thrown and under his kingdom Buddhism was not allowed. He was later murdered by a man and Buddhism practiced with out bounders from that on. Tibet’s believe has been so strong and we have been carrying it for decades.

Tibet in danger

Since the china occupation over Tibet 17 percent of the population of Tibetan people have been lost. 6,000 monasteries were destroyed. More and more Chinese are settling in the city of Lhasa taking most of the jobs and filling streets with Chinese stores. Tibetans are getting eliminated slowly. The original people who used to live in Lhasa are not there any more the places are all occupied by Chinese who just moved out recently. Tibet is in danger of whipping out totally. I hope such a think never happens. I wonder if it keeps on going like this the tourist would not see the real people who used to live there and probably be disappointed. Some tourist said they are already disappointed with the current situation in Tibet.

Three years in Prison

Chinese court has sentenced 30 people to prison for three years on Tuesday. They have been given such a harsh punishment for taking part in the deadly rioting that has taken last month. It begin on March 14 in Lhasa the capital city of Tibet . According to the Chinese they were 19 death and more then 600 wounded, but according to Tibetan government in exile the crackdown have killed scores of Tibetans.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman said she did not know anything about the planned talk announced between Chinese government and Dalai Lama. She made clear that china blames Dalai Lama for the violence in Tibet and all over the world. The Chinese government say that the riot that began in Lhasa in March destroyed 7 schools, 5 hospitals and 120 homes but Tibetan exile groups say more than 200 people mostly Tibetan were killed in the crackdown. The government don’t want to show any mercy for the people who took part in riot. I don’t know what the outcome of this would be. No one ever said getting a freedom is so easy after all.

Human Rights

Human Rights is also one of the main issue in Tibet that is under Chinese authority. A Tibetan woman named Nechung who is 38 years old , mother of four, has been imprisoned . She was tortured brutally by the Chinese authorities in the prison guards. They show no mercy for woman and children. The reason for her being in prison was that she had taken part in a peaceful protest on March 16th and March 17th of 2008. Eventually, she died after days of torture in the Chinese prison.
After the brutal torture when she was released she was in a very bad condition. She had marks all over her body. She could not eat or sleep at night because of pain. Her condition was got worse and she needed immediate medical attention. She was taken to a county government hospital for treatment, but they refused to treat and attend her since they were influenced and intimidated by the local Chinese authorities. As a result she did not get the attention and care she needed and so she died. Even after her death the Chinese authorities warned Tibetan monks from offering prayers and ritual rites for her deceased soul. This shows how human rights is totally denied to Tibet tans in their own country. There is no freedom, no right, and definitely no mercy.

Dalai Lama wants autonomy

The Dalai Lama said in a news conference that he wants autonomy. He said that the world knows that he is not seeking independence, nor separation. He also confidently denied all that Chinese government has blamed him for. The recent protest in Tibet and through out the world is one of the biggest protest in Tibet’s history. There have been protests in history, but the world was unaware of the situation in Tibet. “Our struggle is with a few in the leadership of the People’s Republic of China and not with the Chinese people,” the Dalai Lama said in a statement released after a news conference. He also said if the Chinese government took the troops out of Tibet, he would urge his people to stop the protest. He is a symbol of peace and ocean of wisdom, so whatever he said in this conference is very true, clear and right at the point.

Panchen Lama

Panchen Lama is know as one of Tibet’s most important religious leaders. He have been recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama. Tibetans want their religious leader back and safe among them. But Chinese authorities have kidnapped the young boy and his family in 1995 just after his recognition as the reincarnation of one of the most important religious leader. Tibetans have appealed to the Chinese government to release the Panchen Lama and his family, but the Chinese government say they want to hold him and his family in a “protective custody.” Till now not even one international agency or human rights organization have been in contact with the Lama.

Furthermore, the Chinese authorities selected their own 11th Panchen Lama in November 1995 with an effort to control the internal affairs of Tibet. It is a six year-old boy named Gyaltsen Norbu who has been selected as the 11th Panchen Lama. He is another young victim in China's plan to control the Tibetan people, their religion, and their nation.

Protest in San Francisco

Long before Tibetans were able to negotiate and were more than happy to have autonomy by China. Now the situation has changed since the Chinese government don’t seem to give any interest in negotiation. Tibetans want independence. They want to make themselves heard and get world attention while China is getting its attention for the 2008 Olympic.
In San Francisco many Tibetan protestors rose up, there were many Chinese college students who are pro-Chinese and support the Olympic in China. According the CNN the Pro-Chinese said Tibet is a part of China and there is nothing Tibetans could do about. The Olympic torch had to be taken secretly without having it seen by the protesters. I think in Olympia’s history such a thing has never taken place. Some people are with China and some with Tibet and support there right to be a free country.
Looking at the current situation I don’t think the protestors will give up very easily. Tibet will be a free country yet can not be said, but yes they are on the run.
