WHAT CAN THE
DALAI LAMA DO NOW?
  • Return to Tibet to be with his people.
  • Advocate a boycott of China-made goods.
  • Advocate a boycott of the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
  • Use his world-wide popularity, books, friends and admirers for Tibetans in Tibet.
I will go back to
Tibet within
2 years. 1996.
My kata presentation
(to his leaders in Lhassa) implies my intention
to return.
What about dangers to the Dalai Lama
upon his return?
I have no fear of
death...
With a sincere and open
heart there is no need to
fear others.
My enemy is my best friend because he gives me the
opportunity to learn from adversity.

Only the Dalai Lama can stop the holocaust.
He must
GO HOME
WHAT CAN WE DO NOW?
It is not a time to pretend
to just sound good.

If you confront your (enemies) rather than avoid them,
you will be in a better position to deal with them.

Until China gives Tibetans freedom and human rights:
  • Don't buy anything made in China
  • Boycott companies who do business with China.
  • Avoid travel and investments in China.
  • Communicate to whomever you can by all means available, your advocacy: friends, elected officials, the Tibetan Government in Exile, Chinese embassies and authorities, all media, the United Nations.
  • Join the Alliance Against Chinese Genocide.
  • Contributions appreciated but are not tax-deductible.
    Not supported by any government agency.
It's time for the Dalai Lama to
GO HOME
THE FOURTEENTH
DALAI LAMA
I am definitely happy.

 The Dalai Lama's life is happy:
  • Worshipped by his fellow Tibetans
  • Enjoys world-wide media admiration
  • Writes, publishes, and copywrights over 24 books, some bestsellers
  • Receives hundreds of honors and awards including the Nobel Peace Prize
  • Lives happily and securely in comfort outside Tibet in India
  • Travels with his entourage in luxury all over the world.
  • Hobnobs at the highest international levels of jet-set society, arts, education, governments.
(All "quotations" in italics are from the Dalai Lama's own writings)

But now it's time to
GO HOME
TO TIBET

FOR 46 YEARS THE
GENOCIDE CONTINUES
  • 1.3M deaths from China's occupation. (By 1996, 173,000 while in jail.)
  • China's Tibet genocide by population transfer continues in violation of the Geneva Convention IV.
  • 6,200 Tibetan monasteries destroyed.
  • Children (including 6 year olds, women, monks,and nuns jailed, tortured, killed for loyalty to the Dalai Lama).
  • Systematic, intentional denial by China of Tibetan civil rights, education, employment.
  • China's railroad to Lhassa will complete the genocide as it has in Xinjiang, against the Uighurs and Inner Mongolia against Mongolians.

  The disgusting abuse of monks and nuns has been going on since 1961. Atrocities are commonplace-crucifixion, vivisection, disemboweling, burning, beating to death, burning alive, dismemberment, hanging upside down, tearing out tongues, dragging to death behind horses, electric shock into orifices, especially womens', rape.

Tibet is like a giant prison camp.
Tibetans are drowning in a sea of Chinese.
The Tibetan people are being wiped out from
the face of the Earth.

Now it's time to
GO HOME
FOR 46 YEARS,
THE DALAI LAMA'S
POLICIES HAVE FAILED

I have left no stone unturned.

Negotiation.
I am committed to negotiations. 1961-2005
Negotiation has failed, Oct. 25, 2004
China has refused to negotiate or even meet at any meaningful level.
I realized (in 1994) it would be impossible to negotiate with people who believe in this crude and criminal fashion.

Peace Plans.
The Dalai Lama's 5 Points, the Salzburg Proposal and innumerable plans over the years are ignored by China except as occasions for increased Chinese violence against Tibetans, e.g. the current Strike Hard campaign in Tibet.

Kowtowing to China.
  • Every time I saw Mao, he inspired me again.
  • I want to help the Chinese in any way I can.
  • I advised Tibetan escapees to return to Tibet to help their country.
  • Softening of Dalai Lama's Tibet Uprising Day speeches
World-wide Publicity Campaign: sells Dalai Lama books, earns admiration, royalties, VIP friends, awards for the Dalai Lama but does nothing for Tibetans in Tibet.

Ahimsa (non-violence) makes occupation easier for China and undermines Tibetans willing to fight for their freedom.
FOR 46 YEARS,
THE DALAI LAMA
DISTORTS AHIMSA
(NON VIOLENCE)
I'm happy in exile.
  • Ahimsa is not a psychosis or a suicide pact. Self defense and survival are part of the doctrine.
  • Ahimsa is a personal moral commitment not a political statement or directive to others being subjected to violence and threats.
  • Absentee ahimsa as practiced by the Dalai Lama is a hypocrisy. Unlike Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Suu Kyi, the Dalai Lama lives outside Tibet in comfort, safety, and honor while his Tibetans daily suffer Chinese threats, arrests, and atrocities.
The Dalai Lama is always laughing. . .
totally enjoys himself.
Professor Robert Thurman,
friend and co-author with the Dalai Lamai.
