    Extractions: I am a Tibetan elder who has been visiting Santa Barbara over the past 11 years. Just yesterday (June 4) I was visiting the UCSB campus when I learned of the article written by Jiefeng Zhou titled "Filtering Out the Propaganda of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile" in the Daily Nexus (June 1), and feel that it is my responsibility to respond to his statements. It seems very clear to me that he is repeating the propaganda that the Communist Chinese government has been repeating for decades. Even though in his letter he states, "I should make it clear that I am not speaking on behalf of any government or organization (my father, who is a communist, always calls me 'Liberal J')," it seems that he isn't aware of the propaganda lens through which he sees the Tibetan situation. Does he know that several Chinese who had lived in Tibet have reported and written books about the actual situation in Tibet after leaving China and coming to the West?

    Extractions: Origins of Tibet's Dzogchen and Bon Teachings The uniqueness of Tibetan Buddhism, so different from its Indian counterparts, may be explained, at least in part, to the influence of another non-Buddhist belief - that of Bon. The Bon religion, according to both its own, and Nyingma Buddhist history, originated from white robed adepts from a Persian country to the northwest. Bon claims that its teachings were brought to Central Tibet sometime before 600 A.D. from the previously independent country of Zhang-zhung, west of Tibet near Mt. Kalish, and more remotely from a place called Olmo Lungring" in Tazik. Many scholars recognize Tazik as the present day Tazikhstan which is northwest of the ancient country of Zhang-Zhung. In ancient western Tazikhstan there were many Persian Sogdians who espoused the beliefs of Mani, (as well as numerous Nestorian Christians and Buddhists). One writer, when speaking of these same Bon origins, wrote:

    Extractions: ibet is a country that modern history has pushed to the side, and its people, most in exile from their native land, have a lot of history to recapture, said Karma Zurkhang, director of the Tibetan Alliance of Chicago. "Our issue, the issue of Tibet, transcends religion or politics. Our issue is linked with the survival of humanity at large," he said. Zurkhang spoke as a guest of Amnesty International Group 254, the chapter local to K-State, in the Union Ballroom Tuesday night. Zurkhang attempted to describe Tibet as it was before it was invaded by communist China in 1949. That is, the Tibet that existed before he was born. "I wish I had been around to see that Tibet," he said. "I wish I had been able to do something." Zurkhang urged Americans to push for economic sanctions against China in the hopes that the pressure will inspire China to rethink its human rights violations in its unlawful occupation of Tibet. "Sanctions do work," he said. "Look at apartheid. That could not have come about without sanctions. If we don't impose sanctions, it's like taking China for a ride for which we'll all have to pay someday."

    Extractions: The Tibetan Buddhism is Great Vehicle (Mahayana) Buddhism. There are two parts of it: the Exoteric and the Esoteric Buddhisms. The Tibetan Exoteric Buddhism is based on Madhyamika (dBu-ma, `middle way') of Nagarjuna. The Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, which is different from all other Esoteric Buddhisms, makes the Tibetan Buddhism unique. The Tibetan Buddhism requests the study of the Exoteric Buddhism as the foundation and puts the Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism as the most advanced form of Buddhism. We assume that our visitors have a basic knowledge of the Exoteric Buddhism. The doctrine of the Tibetan Esoteric (i.e. Tantric) Buddhism is based on `Mahavairocana-sutra', and `Kalacakraindriya-sutra'. Its theory may be summarized as follows: "taking the six elements as essence", "five Buddhas and five wisdoms", "taking the four mandalas as appearance", "taking the three secrets as means", "cause, base, final means" and "anger and fear". "Taking the six elements as essence" is the Esoteric interpretation of the origin of the cosmos. According to the Esoteric Buddhism, the six elements, the earth, water, fire, wind, air and ether ( consciousness), make up the dhamakaya (cosmic body) of the Mahavairocana. They provide the nature of all creation and are at once the source and the foundation of the existence of all phenomena. As they are possessed by all beings in the universe, they exist in the mind of the laity. This is the something Buddha shares with the layman. However, according to the Esoteric Buddhism, the laity are incapable of recognizing the nature of cosmic beings, "unless they are aided by the supreme benevolent power of the Tathagata", which means the practice of "the three secrets" is necessity if one wishes to purify one's mind and recognize the nature of all cosmic beings.

    Extractions: Home About Us Search Back To Tibet The History/Background of Tibet Shamanism was the predominant religion before the introduction of Buddhism in the 7th century. Buddhist missionaries from India came to Tibet and started an alphabet system for the Tibetan language and started translations of Buddhist texts. During this time Tibet was a strong kingdom but by the 10th century, things began to fall apart with Tibet separating into several principalities. In 1206, Genghis Khan included Tibet in his empire and in the mid-1600's, the Mongols allowed the Dalai Lama (monk filled with wisdom) to have political power within Tibet. This was done after he was named the head of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism in the 15th century. China came to control Tibet in the 18th century, but they didn't maintain their authority for many years. In 1911, Tibetan's rebelled and started asserting their authority and independence by trying to get rid of China's officials and military stationed in Tibet. This was completed by 1913, but a meeting was held with Britain, China and Tibet to come to an agreement regarding Tibet's borders and their status as an independent region. China never came to an agreement and the situation became tense finally culminating in an battle in eastern Tibet in 1918. The British attempted to settle the dispute with a truce, but they were largely unsuccessful. Qamdo (Chamdo) was invaded by Communist Troops not more than a year after their control of mainland China. This occurred in October 1950, and by May 1951 the Tibetan government conceded to the Chinese and gave up their independence. They signed a treaty that gave the Dalai Lama (who was 15 at the time) domestic power, but any affairs related to foreign matters or the military was to be deferred to the Chinese government. Improvements were made to communications in Tibet, as well as improving transportation - military highways and airfields were built in a number of areas in the region.

    Extractions: Tibet is located in central Asia, surrounded by the highest mountains in the world. It is north of India, Nepal and Bhutan, west of China, and south of Russia, Mongolia, and East Turkestan, covering a land mass of three times the size of the state of Texas. Tibet is sparsely populated, but rich in minerals, and home to many many rare fauna and flora. The headwaters of Asia's major rivers are located in Tibet; such as the Indus in Pakistan, Sutlej, Ganges and Brahmaputra in India, Salween in Burma, Mekong in Laos and Thailand, and Yangtse and Yellow River in China. Tibet is made up of three regions, collectively known as the Chol-Kha-Sum. From Ngari Korsum in Western Tibet to Sokla Kyao, the region is known as U-Tsang; from Sokla Kyao to the upper bend of the Machu (Yellow River) it is known as Dotod or Kham, and from the bend of Machu to Chorten Karpo, it is called Domed or Amdo. Tibetan history may be divided into four major periods; the rise and the fall of early kings from the 3rd century B.C. to the 13th century A.D.; the rise and the fall of the Sakya rule from 1247 to 1368; the rise and the fall of the hegemony of 1368 to 1644; and the rise of the Dalai Lama's influence and rule from 1644 to the present. All through these periods, Tibet was not a part of China. The Chinese claim Tibet to have become a part of China when the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo took Princess Wen-ch'eng Kung-chu of the Chinese Emperor T'ai-tsung in marriage; at other times, the Chinese point to the Mongol rule (the Yuan Dynasty); and still other times, China states that Tibet came under Chinese rule at the time of the 5th Dalai Lama. With no historical foundation to support their claim, they jump from century to century, hoping to find a period in Tibetan history to legitimize their claim. But there is none.
