Tibetans love to sing. Here is an example of a song a girl and boy might sing to each other. This song is about a girl, from the capital of Lhasa arrives in an isolated village or nomad area, all the local boys flock around her as she is different and girls from Lhasa have the reputation of being special. The boy singing this song though is not interested; he prefers to be with a local girl. The girl sings that the boy is very handsome ( like a sweet-smelling juniper bush), and she is beautiful (like a peacock ); but romance is not possible because there is some major problem that cannot be changed (the river dividing them). If you want us to get together, you will have to do something about it and solve the problem, she explains.

    Extractions: It was billed as China Tibetan Culture Week and you'd have thought that alone would have been sufficient to alert politicians that this was a pure propaganda exercise. Tibetan Cultural Splendour, sponsored by some 80 Chinese organizations in Canada, and orchestrated by the government in Beijing, is concluding a 10-day tour of Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver, where it ends tomorrow. That China would ostensibly advertise Tibetan culture is beyond irony. For over 50 years China has put the boots to Tibet, ravaging cultural and religious symbols, killing people, repressing freedom, and transplanting more Chinese into Tibet than there are Tibetans. Cultural genocide. This reality apparently rang no bells with Canadian politicians. The tour got written testimonials and good wishes from the likes of Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson ("a wonderful opportunity for Canadians to become more familiar with Tibetan traditions"); Prime Minister Jean Chretien ("this celebration of culture to others"); Premier Ernie Eves ("opportunities ... to learn more about Tibetan art and culture"); Heritage Minister Sheila Copps ("increased understanding and appreciation"); Mayor Mel Lastman ("embrace and celebrate the beauty of Tibetan heritage and culture").

    OpEd Piece from TC Tethong on China Tibetan culture Week . Why the exuberance of this altruistic gesture to promote Tibetan culture to the Canadian people?  
    http://tibet.ehosting.ca/re_Tethong.htm
    
    Extractions: OpEd Piece from T.C. Tethong on "China Tibetan Culture Week" Last week, Mr. Hughes Eng, Co-Chair of the China Tibetan Cultural Week, held a press conference in Toronto announcing an upcoming celebration of Tibetan culture in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. A quick reading of his media statement reveals all the usual elements of Chinese government propaganda, though the organizers of this event have done their best to promote China Tibetan Cultural Week as a community sponsored event. Eng claims that " over 80 Chinese Canadian community groups involving thousands of people, have worked together to bring the China Tibetan Cultural Week to Canada. " As a Tibetan who has lived in Canada since the mid-1970s with almost no contact or support from the Chinese community, I have to ask myself: Why suddenly the interest and display of compassion towards the Tibetans? Why the exuberance of this altruistic gesture to promote Tibetan culture to the Canadian people? What is most telling about this whole episode is the total absence of any Tibetans in the preparation of this event . There are several thousand Tibetan refugees living in Canada, most of whom live in Toronto, and yet to my knowledge, not one is involved with Mr. Eng or his associates.

    Extractions: Current time in Tibet Dali Lama Biography "The Tibetan national flag is intimately connected with the authentic history and royal lineages of Tibet which are thousands of years old. Furthermore, in the Tibetan Royal year 820 or in the seventh century of the Christian era, at the time of the Tibetan religious King Song-tzan Gampo the Great extensive land of Tibet was divided into large and small districts known as "g?-kyi tong-de" and "yung-g'i mi-de". From these large and small districts, an army of 2,860,000 men was chosen and stationed along the borders of Tibet, and the subjects thus lived in safety. The bravery and heroism of the Tibetan people at that time in conquering and ruling even the adjacent empire of China is well-known in world history. "At that time, it is recorded that the regiment of Yi-ru ti had a military flag with a pair of snow-lions facing each other; that Y?-ru m? had a snow-lion with a bright upper border; that of Tzang Ru-iao, had a snow-lion standing upright, springing towards the sky; and the flag of ?-ru t? had a white flame against a red background, and so forth. In this way. the regiments of each area had its own individual military standard. Continuing with that tradition up to the beginning of the twentieth century, various regiments within the Tibetan army have had military flags with either a pair of snow-lions facing each other, or a snow-lion springing upwards and so forth.
