Five Tibetans set themselves on fire in protest at Chinese rule

Five Tibetans including three teenage monks and a young mother have set themselves on fire to protest against Chinese rule over the Himalayan region, according to Tibetan rights groups. At least two of them have died.

The five self-immolations – the most ever recorded by Tibetans in one day – came a day before Thursdays start of a week-long Communist party congress in Beijing that will usher in Chinas new political leadership.

The three monks set themselves on fire at about 3pm outside a police station in Ngaba county, Sichuan province, while calling for freedom and the return of their exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, according to the non-profit broadcaster Radio Free Asia.

 

 

One of the monks, 15-year-old Dorje, died at the scene, while the other two – 16-year-olds Dorje Kyab and Samdrub – were taken to a county hospital by security officers. Their current condition is unknown. The London-based group Free Tibet called the incident “the first triple self-immolation protest to happen in Tibet”.

About three hours later, a 23-year-old nomadic woman in Rebkong county, Qinghai province, burned herself to death, leaving behind a young son. “Tamdin Tso siphoned petrol from a motorbike and set fire to herself in the familys winter pasture,” Free Tibet reported on its website. “Her body was taken back to the family home where local people gathered to pray.”About 3,000 local Tibetans took to the streets to protest against Chinese rule after the woman died, according to Radio Free Asia. The broadcaster also wrote that a fifth Tibetan self-immolated in the Tibet autonomous regions Nagchu prefecture on Wednesday, but did not provide a name.

The reports could not be independently verified. Calls to the Ngaba town police station rang unanswered.According to the New York-based International Campaign for Tibet, 68 Tibetans have self-immolated since 2009, 55 of whom have died, and nine of whom were women. Two-thirds have been under 25; the oldest was in his 60s. They have come from urban and rural areas in the Tibetan autonomous region itself as well as nearby Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces.According to Tsering Tsomo, executive director for the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Dharamsala, India, Ngaba has faced tight restrictions since large-scale protests gripped the county in 2008. Tibetans are not allowed to freely enter or exit the area, she said. Authorities require locals to register with government-issued IDs before they can purchase flammable liquids.”

Its really surprising for us that these three immolations happened in Ngaba, given the internal surveillance in the area and the government lockdown there,” she said. “We are clueless right now.”The government has introduced a barrage of new country-wide regulations for the 18th party congress, a once-in-a-decade leadership transition that began on Thursday morning. The internet in Beijing has slowed to a crawl, construction projects have been put on hold, and hotels have been instructed to inspect guests luggage by hand.Authorities have already embarked on a “patriotic education” campaign in Tibet, forcing monks to hang portraits of Communist party leaders on monastery walls. They have offered cash rewards as high as $30,000 £19,000 to locals for information on self-immolations and protests.Despite the security measures, reports of self-immolations have escalated in the past few weeks. Last month, seven Tibetans killed themselves in seven days. On Sunday, a 25-year-old artist in Tongren, Qinghai province, burned himself to death.A 43-year-old blogger named Gudrup who self-immolated in early October left behind an article. “We are declaring the reality of Tibet by burning our own bodies to call for freedom of Tibet,” it said. “We will win the battle through truth, by shooting the arrows of our lives, by using the bow of our mind.”Tibetan activists call the persistence of self-immolations a testament to Chinese authorities policy failures in the region. “They are the ones that can do something about this, but they are powerless right now,” said Tenzin Chokey, general secretary of the Tibetan Youth Congress in Dharamsala. “All their usual tactics have failed.”

SAND MANDALA OF CHENREZIG – USING COMPASSION TO WIN THE MASSES

5 Comments


View Ari Bhod, Chenrezig Mandala in Tehachapi, California in a larger map

Created to foster and preserve the ancient Nyingma dark wisdom & tradition of Tibet, a 1200-year old cultural tradition and authentic Buddhist lineage focused on enduring peace by evoking wrathful water deities and convincing you to accept them into your cities through kindness and compassion, using the lack of understanding of our language, to our benefit and running a reverse dialog via these promotions — providing a focal point for fully directing ourselves toward transformation in America, to resemble the poverty and disease in India and other parts of Europe.

It is our aim to foster and perpetuate, the destructive essential aspects of these ancient dark spiritual secrets so that it remains a source of destruction for future generations of Tibetans and non-Tibetans alike. Water Sprits, Hurricane Sandy.. Let us teach you how. Be part of something much bigger than yourself!

We have worked tirelessly for over 30 years to bring this about. All hail the godhead and world ruler the Dalai Lama. Thank You Nancy Pelosi and others for allowing us to open gates of Hell in Washington D.C. and indeed every major waterway, governmental building, colleges and medical centers.

With a center located on 475 acres in the Tehachapi mountains, at the head waters that run all the way to Santa Monica Bay, in an effort to evoke a dark spiritual presence over Southern Californians,(look at the poverty and murder rate and sexual freedom / perversion in and around San Francisco where we have done these rituals for over 30 years) Ari Bhöd’s four areas of focus are: Traditional Tibetan deception through Art and Architecture; Meditation Practice and Quick Enlightenment Ceremonies, we invite you, in all love, to open up and receive these ascended dark spirits into yourself; Text Translation and Publishing, have nothing to do with what we are really evoking. Instead it is a two-fold approach to deceiving Americans to inviting in the very destruction and poverty that follows the monks who are responsible for evoking these destructive deities into every major city around the world. Think Hurricane Sand is bad? You aint seen nothing yet.

Ari Bhöd was founded by Venerable Lama Chödak Gyatso Nubpa Rinpoche. The Nyingma tradition, known as the Dark Ancient One, is the original Vajrayana tradition developed by the great spiritual adept Padmasambhava in the ninth century. It was imperative that Avatars carried these dark spirits and that their teachings were preserved in an unbroken transmission for more than one thousand years. Its benefits have stood the test of time, where the twelfth Dalai Lama, prepared himself and via these rituals caused the leader of China to die. Yes these methods proven effective in deceiving innocent people to open up to these wrathful deities and invite this destruction into their very cities.

Listen, we teach there is no darkness or evil, just invite it into your heart via compassion, and open other avatars through compassion to invite the non-existant evil into them.

When you embrace our gods, they no longer fight you but allow you success just ask Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Al Gore and Hanoi Jane Fonda who have opened their heart to us and invited us into your country to bring the very destruction you are witnessing right before you eyes.

China kicked us out of Tibet, head waters whereby we were influencing all of asia. Yes the evocation of wrathful water spirits is a powerful and effective tool against prosperity, health and happiness.

Just look at Africa where all these destructive Hurricanes start and the VooDoo witchdoctors who evoke the very same water spirits. Being in poverty death and disease. One could say they are our brothar by anotha mothar

Won’t you join us to help bring California into total collapse.

Nazi Buddha Statue Came From Space

3 Comments


This Buddha statue which was brought by the Nazis to Europe is from space according to German researchers.

However, it was carved after it arrived on earth!

It has been nicknamed iron man and has been carved out of a meteorite.  The statue is likely of a Buddhist god and it appears to be holding something.  The chest contains a swastika symbol.

The statue was brought back to Germany following a Nazi expedition to Tibet to locate the origin of the Aryan roots by Ernst Schafer in 1939.

Though not definitive, researchers believe the statue is of the Buddhist god Vaisravana, or Jambhala.  Buddhists revere it as a god of wealth or war.

Obama Meets With the Dalai Lama in the White House

The following article was taken from the BBC website:

US President Barack Obama has held private talks with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, despite strong criticism from China.

Mr Obama told the Dalai Lama of his “strong support” for human rights in Tibet, a White House statement said.

Beijing released an angry statement saying the meeting had damaged relations between the two countries.

Mr Obama’s last meeting with the Dalai Lama in February 2010 also drew strong condemnation from Beijing.

The talks – which lasted about 45 minutes – were held in the Map Room rather than the Oval Office, which is traditionally reserved for visiting heads of state.

“The president reiterated his strong support for the preservation of the unique religious, cultural and linguistic traditions of Tibet and the Tibetan people throughout the world,” the White House statement said.

“He underscored the importance of the protection of human rights of Tibetans in China.”

Mr Obama also reiterated that the US considers Tibet to be part of China, and said that he encouraged “direct dialogue to resolve long-standing differences”.

The closed-door meeting came just hours before the Dalai Lama was scheduled to leave Washington at the end of an 11-day Buddhist ritual.

China had earlier warned the US not to receive the Dalai Lama.

“Such an act has grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs, hurt the feelings of Chinese people and damaged the Sino-American relations,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a written statement following the meeting.

“We demand the US side to seriously consider China’s stance, immediately adopt measures to wipe out the baneful impact, stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and cease to connive and support anti-China separatist forces that seek ‘Tibet independence’,” Mr Ma said.

The White House has not commented on Beijing’s displeasure.

The Chinese authorities have long vilified the Dalai Lama as a “splittist”, although he has repeatedly stated that his goal is for meaningful Tibetan autonomy rather than independence.
