It is so stupid! Da Lama doesn't want an "independent" Tibet. He
wants and his sycophants have echoed thus only a "genuine" autonomy
under Chinese sovereignty. So this poor man has died for naught!
It's so sad that Da Lama's followers are so ignorant! They don't
realize that Da Lama has been playing them like a bunch of yo-yos!
They don't realize that Da Lama does not have their interests at
heart. They don't realize that Da Lama is doing things only to make
his paymasters in the West happy.
According to Peter "Hard-Yards" Terpstra's story, the woman who
committed the grisly seppuku (hara-kiri), errrh, reincarnated as the
more iconic self-immolation, did so after having seen government
posters forbidding the display of Da Lama's photos and was visibly
angered by it.
To her, the announcment meant that she could not "pray before the
picture". So, she killed herself.
I see that she had an anger management problem. If Da Lama wants to
know why, the reason has been laid bare.
The headstrong woman, her father who never disciplined her in her
entire life - not even so much as having raised a finger at her by his
own admission - and those whom she interacted with have all been
taught the wrong ideas about living and values in general. It is
hardly the first time in history that the portrait of a certain
personage was forbidden from public display. If you have to pray
before Da Lama in order to retain your faith, then you have got the
wrong set of genes. According to Darwin, those who possess the genes
would not survive in the world which only accommodates the fittest.
According to "Hard-Yards",
Da Lama has lectured the public saying:
"...a calm mind is very>important for a peaceful and happy life.
Physical and material comfort doesn't necessarily guarantee 100%
happiness".
His Holiness also said that neuroscientists in America has found out
through an experiment that after practising compassion, stress and
blood pressures of people are reduced. So, a healthy mind is very
crucial for a healthy body.
Da Lama ought to offer his "compassion" practice secret to his
followers to help them reduce their stress and blood pressures.
Da Lama should value the health of his followers more than anyone else
as they seem to care more about his ten thousand year longevity rather
than their own short mortal lives. He should particularly care if he
wants to have one-sixth of China's current territory for his "genuine"
Tibetan autonomy when the able-minded/able-bodied Tibetans to take
charge of a state are already few and far in between.
So who does Da Lama think will be capable enough to pick up the task
of managing a state, however he wants to call it, if he got his wish
for a "genuine" autonomous Tibet in the end?
Does he think that a bunch of illiterates who are easy to anger
followed by suicide will be able to manage a power generation and
distribution authority and a transportation authority?
Or is Da Lama thinking that he can hire a bunch of American
contractors to manage his "genuinely autonomous" Tibet for him?
Does he realize that although the Tibetan monks and monasteries are
heavily subsidized by the Chinese government right now, he would have
to find another way to get the money to feed those consuming but not
producing monks and monasteries?
Does Da Lama think that those easy-to-anger-and-violence followers of
his won't also be angry and violent with him in the end if the Chinese
are out of the picture?
The truth is Da Lama doesn't care because he knows that he isn't going
to live for ten thousands of years and all he wants to do now is to
make his western paymasters happy, and no more!
The truth is the longer those ignorant followers of Da Lama have him,
the longer and the more they suffer!

Subject: Da Lama wants dialog (with China) while hobnobbing with
Japan's extremists - remember Yukio Mishima and his ilk and their
seppuku rituals - think self-immolations for Da Lama's ignorant
extremist followers - Da Lama has a credibility gap!

Da Lama should offer his advice, seriously, to his followers in those
monasteries where self-immolations have been repeatedly committed.
Note that seppuku, errrh, self-immolation, is a depraved form of
violence.
Da Lama should have offered his "compassion" recipe to those 15/16
year-olds and 18 year-olds who allegedly have committed seppuku, errrh, I
mean self-immolation, so that they could have had a way to reduce
whatever stress they had and hence their blood pressures. Had he done
that, those young lives would mostly be still living and breathing!
No, instead Da Lama did all he could to raise their stress by telling
the world that the Chinese government's policy of using the Chinese
language as the medium of teaching and learning was tantamount to
cultural genocide. Da Lama actively encouraged kids to become truant.
Instead of helping to establish guidelines and suicide-prevention
network, the kind of work Da Lama should be ready to offer as a form
of charity, especially when
