Dhramshala: - Imagine an uprooted nation recently reconfigured by bloodshed, and now fashioned so foolhardy in its gravitation to hubris that it seeks to tear off a piece of land almost the same size as itself, reformat the native citizens to the malady of its own political persuasions.
Dharamshala: - Every day we wake up and switch on our computers, TVs or radios, to learn the latest tragic news from Tibet- be it another self-immolation protest or the Chinese authorities locking down an entire Tibetan town or monastery, or detaining or imprisoning another Tibetan.
Dharamshala: - Imprisoned Tibetan monk and writer Gartse Jigme in a heartfelt appeal calls on the Chinese government to reach out to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and to listen to the demands articulated by self-immolation protesters, as a first step towards creating a truly harmonious and stable Tibet where respect for Tibetan rights and freedoms would replace oppression and suffering.
Dharamshala: - Tushita Meditation Centre is located on the steep hill above McLeodganj, home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It was founded by Lama Thubten Yeshe and his main student Lama Zopa Rinpoche in 1972 for the study and practice of Buddhism in the Tibetan Mahayana tradition.
