Quite a few months have passed since the Sikyong elections and the strange events that followed. Nonetheless, being reminded of that depressing experience by a fuzzy Facebook video of the emetic countenance of Speaker Penpa Tsering staring at his rival Dr.

Lobsang Sangay being sworn in for yet another five years of purposeless posturing, is still enough to plunge one in a miasma of existential despair for the future of the Tibetan cause and people. But perhaps Rinpoche was just implying that the two Sikyong candidates were not groveling uniformly enough in their craven subservience, which is the requisite deportment for success even survival it seems in exile Tibetan society these days.

Soon afterwards the Nechung and the Tsering Chenga oracles joined the sycophancy chorus making oracular declarations rebuking the candidates for not paying attention enough to the security and long life of the Dalai Lama. During the election campaign and the events that followed nothing was discussed, not even incidentally, about the Tibetan cause or struggle.

The statements I came across on iPhone videos are remarkable for the courage and commitment of the young man but for his clear thinking as well. The two videos are difficult to watch as it is obvious that Dorje Tsering was in great pain when speaking. It also appears that he was not under sedation as his thoughts were clear and organized. He even offered his name, age, school, the day of the month and reasons for his action, and details of its execution. The English translation is by Free Tibet, London.

I have taken the liberty of making a couple of corrections. From the first video :. My name is Dorje Tsering. I am a year-old student of Tibetan Homes School, Mussoorie. In , China occupied our Tibet. This caused Tibetans to become fragmented… some are in Tibet, others in exile in many countries. I have had a strong determination to do something for Tibet since my early childhood. I thought if there was something I could do for Tibet, the only option would be to burn my body.

I bought kerosene and matches and burned myself. It seems the kerosene I put on my body was not enough to burn it completely, only the outside and not do much damage to my body internally. I did think about my parents and family at first.

In the past I asked my father and mother many times how it would be if I self-immolated. My parents would always say that they would feel very sad, so sad that they would die. Finally I want to say long live His Holiness and I pray that Tibet may gain independence as soon as possible. In a subsequent video where he again mentions his name, age, school and the date of his self-immolation he provides a more detailed reason for what he thought his action would achieve.

Excerpt from the second video. Because if I self-immolate everyone will be shocked to realize he had set fire to his own body. So when they think that, countries like UK, America… Africa … wherever, they will pay attention to Tibetans and support us and help us. But let us not forget the self-immolation of the humble Tunisian vegetable-vendor that sparked the Arab Spring.

Nonetheless his sacrifice was substantial enough to gain the attention and support of U. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The photograph was texted to his father at Safdarjang hospital where Dorje Tsering saw it before he died. I have no doubt that besides Mrs. Clinton many others will not forget the misleadingly sweet face that masked the steely determination of this young man. Think about it for a moment.

If the Rangzen struggle was still ongoing and vital as it was in the seventies and eighties, there would be plenty for the young man to do. For instance if the Tibetan Youth Congress had not been eviscerated by Dharamshala and was still its earlier dynamic self, I have no doubt you would see Dorje Tseten at the forefront of the Mussoorie RTYC leading a demonstration or a hunger strike against a visiting Chinese leader in Delhi.

But blaming Dharamshala and Middle Way yahoos alone is perhaps unfair. All of us involved in the Tibetan struggle, even Rangzen activists — including myself, have to share some of the blame. But one major folly I find with your writings including the one above is that your target is invariably predetermined in one single person-Prof Samdhong Rinpoche, who is obviously a non-Lhasan and an outsider to Central Lhasan bureaucracy.

You then go on to lay the plot in such a manner that the narrative portrays him in a very negative light. The only realistic one, together we need to end this culprit govt that we have..

In which decision maker are super religious,. Firstly, I would like to say thank you very much for your meaningful and straightforward article and was really enjoyed reading you post as always but I was really astonished when you said that CTA is the secondary reason of the death of Dorje Tsering. We, any of us, should not write such a factless statement. This kind of statement is just purposeless and will create division in our society.

Just saying, no offense though! Do not make it a Khampa vs Utsang thing regarding Samdong Rimpoche. Personally nothing against Samdong Rimpoche but everybody knows that he has no special affinity with any region. In fact he has once famously stated that he was born in the wrong cholkha.

So, your protest is not only lame but very disingenuous. He has his group of people from all regions that he has cultivated and who admire him. Therefore, as a former Serf myself I would request to refrain from adding more fuel to issues of sectarianism and regionalism stirred up by the Chinese. As you well know ALL Tibetans irrespective of class, cred or origin has suffered under the Chinese onslaught.

Be not too psychologically compliant and intellectually subservient to SR, JN or anyone for the matter. Jamyang la is great! Jamyang la is a respected personality but must know where he stands vis-a-vis Samdong Rinpoche for contributions to the Tibetan cause. If Jamyang la is unhappy with the Middle-Way, he must settle this bone of contention with His Holiness for proposing this, the Tibetan parliament for adopting this, and Kashag for enforcing the policy.

Jamyang la must have the guts to hit where intended and not beat around the bush. You Jamyang-la? Or Lukar Jam? If Jamyang la writes so irresponsibly on Samdong R for non-issue based stuffs, it will only doing disservice to the reputation he had built so far.

If Mrs. Clinton gets presidency, farthest extent LS can go is get only a photo-op. Steely impression and other things are wishful thinking, and Jamyang la knows better than many of us. Jamyang la, I am afraid your writing is now sounding worse than a sound of an empty vessel. Your writing used to spark a bit of freedom spirit in me but not any more.

I am disappointed that you are not offering anything more than criticising CTA and MWP and now even ridiculing our society and who we are. For our exile community the single most important deciding point is the election time.

In the recent election, there was so much confusion and drama but you seemed to be hiding somewhere, even hesitated to support the Rangtsen candidate let alone standing as a candidate. If you were to be remembered as a true rangtsen fighter, now is the time do something different than just writing to split our community into pieces.

Free thinking unconstrained by evidence and rationality is fertile ground for sowing conspiracy theories. Have you any evidence for such a straw man? I believe not any. IMO, the only people who seem to be accorded kudak titles in public these days are showered on the politicians like Lobsang Sangay and Penpa Tsering, both peasant stock. Tibetans who play with the kudak card or the regionalism card, I think they are either very ignorant or too clever.

I am a huge fan of JN. I often write under different alias here, especially to argue against fanatic posters like White and others. But, here I totally agree with poster no: 7, Sonam Tsering la.

This side of JN that I know for more than a quarter of century surprised me. I have no problem with JN taking aim at SR. I have seen SR targeting JN without mentioning his name directly.

I find this side of SR very dangerous and have made known my displeasure to the people working directly for SR, for whatever weight it might carried. May be nil. I find that extremely idangerous. This said, I have lot of respect for SR for his contribution. And with this I might not write here any longer. JN took the oxygen out during the election.

For people like me, I can write perfectly well in Tibetan and there is more fanatics in Tibetan language readers than in English. His blame on CTA is very uncalled for. Many, like myself, call for independence and still respect His Holiness dearly.

Even Middle Way supporters ultimately desire independence, though they align with this line of thinking either for the reason that time is running out for Tibetans, China is too strong and manipulative, or the fact that His Holiness is that only Tibetan who cares the most and knows the best on what is good for Tibetans. When Middle-way supporters die, they will equally pray for complete independence, regardless what they compromised under a difficult political situation while alive.

The other day, I was talking about Samdhong Rinpoche la only as an example to show JN-la unfair writings. But he only sided with his anti-SR folks and always cherry picked to portray SR-la in negative light and fuel the rift between SR-la and Chushi Gangdruk. This is gravely affecting Tibetans unity, if he cares to see it. I was only giving an SR-la example. I admire his Rangzen stance but spit on his very unmanly, filthy tactics that intentionally or unintentionally has been creating much division, even at this point when Tibetans have found relief that His Holiness has pardoned LS-la and PT-la for their petty regional politics in the name of democracy.

Tibetan govt-in-exile: Tsering, Aukatsang to battle it out for Sikyong’s post

An audience with His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa at his residence. The program was initiated last year to introduce the Tibetan movement, culture, religion and community in exile, showcase the real situation inside Tibet to the young educated Taiwanese and to create a stronger network in Taiwan. Lobsang Sangay, Kalon Tripa of Tibet and Mr Penpa Tsering, Speaker of Tibetan parliament in exile and many other prominent leaders, activists, writers and ex political prisoners etc. I thought that this would be a great opportunity to know more about the history of Taiwan and also for the students to have a first hand experience of our events in Dharamsala. Initially some of our Taiwanese friends were a little reluctant about screening it to the Tibetan people as it had strong visually violent images and they felt a little uncomfortable as Tibetans being Buddhists engage in non-violent movement. In the movie when Mona Rudao, the chief of tribe led the uprising with young Seediqs men against thousands of Japanese who were far ahead in terms of arms and ammunition, technology and resources, other tribe leaders questioned him about what they can achieve by waging a losing battle which will cause only death.

From , leadership of Tibet has been in the hands of the Dalai Lamas, whose succession is based on the doctrine of reincarnation, and who are known as spiritual leaders, although their historical status as rulers is disputed. Tibet was forcibly incorporated into the People's Republic of China in By virtue of its claim over all mainland Chinese territory, Tibet also has been claimed by Taiwan. The government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of Tibet in Exile disagree over when Tibet became a part of China, and whether this incorporation is legitimate according to international law. According to a number of international non-governmental organizations, Tibetans are denied most rights guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including the rights to self-determination, freedom of speech, assembly, expression, and travel; Tibetan monks and nuns who profess support for the Dalai Lama have been treated with extreme harshness by the PRC Chinese authorities.

But this is not a role that Penpa Tsering, the Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament-in-exile respects and honors. In a speech filled with lies and distortions of history, the Speaker attacked Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche Dechen Nyingpo, one of the most respected high lamas of Tibetan Buddhism and no doubt one of the greatest Gelugpa Lamas of the past century. In an environment that is already highly sensitive and on an issue that has divided the Tibetan people, Penpa Tsering referred to Dorje Shugden as the devil and denigrated Pabongka Rinpoche in a most offensive way. This must be the first time that an elected politician in what is supposedly a democracy maligns a Buddha and one of its holiest saints in such a terrible way and thinks nothing of it. Amongst other false accusations, the Speaker inferred that Pabongka Rinpoche was under the influence of the devil and created the Shugden practice to serve its own evil intentions.

The Clarity of Committment (Part 1)

The president also said that despite the administrative blockages, the Kashag has been carrying out its administrative works without any negligence in contrast to the parliament, which is unable to carry out its legislative functions including planning activities and campaigns in accordance with the changing situation in China and the international community. It has created great concern and apprehension among the governments, parliaments and Tibet supporters who genuinely support us. The parliamentary deadlock that began early June is in its 11 th week with no end in sight as both sides have displayed no genuine will for talks. Grassroots appeal and public outcry has failed to budge the impasse.

Parliament of the Central Tibetan Administration

He said:. He said: His Holiness the Dalai Lama greeting members of the Tibetan community at the start of their meeting at his hotel in Anaheim, California on June 19, This may be the fruit of our karma, yet among Tibetans in exile as well as those in Tibet, our spirit remains strong. Amongst other exiles we stand out due to the courage and dedication of our people. The report says you are teaching your children Tibetan. Stone Age tools found in Amdo are estimated to be 30, years old; artefacts in Chamdo are years old, while others found in Ngari are 10, years old. Today, it is the best vehicle for conveying the thoughts of the masters of Nalanda—something to be proud of.

Likewise, it is also the day we remember our heroic fellow-Tibetan men and women of patriotism. Also, to all those Tibetans left behind in Tibet who still continue to endure hardship under the brutal persecution of the government of China, I offer our shared sense of well being and destiny through the vicissitudes of good and bad times and solidarity. It was in a scenario of this background that China began its armed invasion of Tibet from the east. The memory and effects of this great uprising can never go into eclipse from the vast firmament of this globe.
