Unconfirmed reports suggest that the Chinese authorities were alerted to his disappearance some time before 1 January. During the same week, in yet another example of the determination of the Chinese authorities to control religious activity inside Tibet, they announced the discovery of the reincarnation of another senior lama, Reting Rinpoche. According to a Tibet Daily report, government officials stated at a press conference held in Lhasa on 30 December 1999 that the search for the 7th Reting Rinpoche had been carried out according to "relevant central and TAR regulations, the historical system and religious regulations". Investigations into how the Karmapa evaded security at Tsurphu monastery were reportedly launched as soon as the Chinese authorities were alerted to his disappearance and security at the monastery, which is located in Toelung Dechen county, Lhasa municipality, was immediately intensified. One source told TIN that People's Armed Police arrived at Tsurphu shortly afterwards from their headquarters in Toelung Dechen county, in Lhasa municipality. The source says that Tsurphu monks were confined to the monastery and indicates that some were interrogated while at least two monks were detained and taken away to the county town. Reports also indicate that security was tightened on roads leading to Tibet's southern border.

When it comes to Asian countries and their history, Tibet probably has them all beat. As recent as 1949, the Chinese Communist invaded this magnificent country, which resulted in more than one millions people dying, over 6,000 monasteries being destroyed, and thousands of Tibetan people being tortured and imprisoned all because of their religious and/or political belief. Because of this invasion, the Dalai Lama, which is the country’s spiritual and political leader, fled in 1959, escaping to neighboring India where the Tibetan Government in Exile in Dharamsala was founded. Today, approximately 150,000 refuges live in exile, being placed around the globe.

Main Page Overview 12 Things Culture Other Resources Search/Site Map Contact Us ... Credits 12 Things You Should Know About Tibet and China This text is taken from the Students for a Free Tibet site . The contents have not been altered. The nation of Tibet was invaded by Chinese Communist forces in 1949. Since that time, over 1.2 million Tibetans have died as a result of the occupation, over 6,000 monasteries have been destroyed, and thousands of Tibetans have been imprisoned and tortured for their political or religious beliefs. The Dalai Lama, Tibet's political and spiritual leader, fled Tibet in 1959. He escaped to India and established the Tibetan Government in Exile in Dharamsala. It is estimated that 130,000 Tibetan refugees live in exile around the world, including over 5,000 in the United States and Canada. In this world of violence, the vast majority of Tibetans continue to adhere to the Buddhist principle of non-violence and compassion in their struggle for freedom. Tibet was independent. While the Chinese government claims that Tibet has always been part of China, there is much historical evidence to the contrary. Tibetans have a distinct culture, religion, and political system. As an independent state, Tibet had a sovereign government, currency, postal system, language, laws, and customs. Prior to 1951, the Tibetan government had also signed treaties with foreign nations, including Britain, Mongolia, and Nepal. The Tibetan Autonomous Region (T.A.R.) is not Tibet. Currently, the Chinese government has divided historical Tibet into many regions and prefectures. T.A.R. encompasses only the central area and some of the eastern regions of historical Tibet. Well over half of Tibet's original territory has been absorbed into China proper.

68. Mount Kailash However, in 1950, Communist China invaded tibet. The tibetan government, headed by the recently enthroned 14th Dalai Lama, was forced to sign an agreement http://www.sacredland.org/world_sites_pages/Kailash.html

Mount Kailash History Ganges Pilgrims journey to Kailash to complete a 32-mile ritual circumambulation. Most take one to three days to complete the circuit, although some devotees spend up to a month doing full body prostrations along the ground. All pilgrims respect the sacredness of the mountain by not climbing it. Along the route are monasteries and points of spiritual significance and ritual: natural stone carvings revered as footprints of the Buddha, rock formations representing mythological forms, places where pilgrims gather mementos and others where pilgrims leave behind offerings such as a lock of hair or a tooth. Kailash, which lies in the remote southwestern region of Tibet near the borders of India and Nepal, is far from any population centers and is not easily accessible. However, for most Buddhists and Hindus of Tibet and India, the journey to Kailash is the most important pilgrimage they can make. Current Challenges Preservation Efforts The past decades have seen some recovery from the damage inflicted by the Cultural Revolution. The Chinese government claims that since 1976, it has contributed more than $40 million to the restoration of Buddhist sites in Tibet. Private funders have also aided restoration efforts. At Mount Kailash, monasteries, temples and other religious structures have been rebuilt or restored and the Chinese government has returned some of the few religious artifacts that were not destroyed. Recent reports on human rights in Tibet indicate that major religious festivals such as Sagadawa are being celebrated somewhat more openly than in previous years. An estimated 10,000 pilgrims came to Kailash for Sagadawa in 2002. In continuing to complete pilgrimages and hold festivals at Kailash, the Tibetan people are preserving both their cultural identity and the sanctity of the place. Indian pilgrims may also enjoy greater access to Kailash as India and China are currently discussing opening another pilgrimage route across the border, which would allow more Indians to visit the holy place each year.

69. BabelStone Tibetan Postage Stamps Independant Tibet the independant Tibetan government established its own postal service, to be used anywhere after the dissolution of the Tibetan government in 1959. http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Tibetan/StampsTibet.html

Postage Stamps of Independant Tibet Introduction After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911 the independant Tibetan government established its own postal service, and issued its own stamps, although these were only valid for internal use as Tibet did not join the Universal Postal Union. Tibetan independance lasted until the overthrowal of the Republic of China by the Communists in 1949, and the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The People's Liberation Army entered Eastern Tibet in 1950, and extended Chinese control over all of Tibet during the next few years. A Tibetan governement existed until March 1959, when it was disolved following a failed uprising. On 9th September 1965 Tibet became an Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. As Chinese post offices were opened throughout Tibet, Tibetan stamps became replaced by Chinese stamps, and Tibetan stamps ceased to be used anywhere after the dissolution of the Tibetan government in 1959. Most stamps were xylographed locally, and printed on Tibetan paper. The primitive method of production meant that a wide variety of variations and shades occur for each stamp. All sets were printed using dull ink and/or shiny enamel paint. Many of the stamps were reprinted a number of times over many years.

Tibet: What To Do? By Rev. Dennett Slemp And Russell Howell There are few black and white issues in the world of international politics. The military invasion of Tibet during the decade of the 1950’s and continued military occupation by China is one of them. Over one million Tibetans have been killed or have died of starvation. Except for a few tourist centers of recent establishment, religious practice has been forbidden, interfered with, or severely restricted. In an effort to destroy the existing culture, numerous monks and nuns have been imprisoned, tortured, killed, or forced into exile. The majority of the six thousand Buddhist monasteries have been destroyed. Over one tenth of the population has been imprisoned at one time or another. The Chinese have systematically stolen religious objects, exploited natural resources, clear cut the timber reserves with Tibetan slave labor, deposited nuclear wastes in Tibet, and sent millions of Han Chinese to Tibet as colonists. There is absolutely no historical, political, or legal basis for this invasion. It is a simple act of larceny and brutal aggression. Chinese goals and methods, including million-victim genocide, are similar to the activities of Nazi Germany in Europe. The only acceptable solution is for China to leave Tibet. This will undoubtedly only be accomplished by international public opinion influencing the thinking of China’s policy makers. This article suggests that people understanding this horrible situation use all their ingenuity and abilities to bring this matter to public attention and influence the Chinese government, by any means available, to act in a civilized manner and leave Tibet.

OPEN LETTER TO THE TIBETAN GOVERNMENT IN EXILE Français Italiano Brussels-Rome, April 29, 1998 Dear Mr. Prime Minister and Members of the Cabinet, The initiative of the hunger-strike undertaken some weeks ago in New delhi by six Tibetans, is provoking a growing emotion all over the world. This initiative has the unquestionable merit of recalling to the conscience of public opinion the tragedy of your people, their inexpressible sufferings during those last forty years, the inability of the international community to affirm the value of Law and of dialogue, the hypocrisy of the ruling classes as prolix in words as miserly in actions. Unfortunately, the initiative of the Tibetan activists, as understandable as it is urgent and necessary, risks failing if one does not proceed immediately to convert the objectives of this action into really attainable and concrete goals. Their hope, as well as that which their action triggered in millions of people, risks, tragically, to end in despair. We need to take action at once, to bring this initiative back towards a "new possible", reasonably and concretely achievable today. The objective of 1.300 parliamentarians from all the world asking the UN General secretary, Mr Kofi Annan, to receive H.H. the Dalai Lama is something possible. It could become - together with that of the appointment of a UN special rapporteur for Tibet and the introduction of Tibet on the agenda of the next General assembly, for example - the first stage of the worldwide Satyagraha for the freedom of Tibet and for democracy in China.

By October 1950 the Chinese People’s Liberation Army had defeated the small Tibetan army. Under China’s occupation, Tibet has been renamed and divided into the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) Qinghai and several Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture's (TAP’s). Even today hundreds of Tibetans cross the Himalayas every year to escape from Chinese persecution. China’s rule in Tibet is truly colonial. In addition to mindless exploitation of Tibet’s rich natural resources and treating the Tibetan people as second class citizens- China is now implementing a population-transfer policy that seeks to reduce Tibetans to an insignificant minority in their own country.
