Following Gandhi's Path - TibetanCulture In Exile

Extractions: TFF director Everyone driving must turn around at the bus and cab station. Dharamsala is actually car-free, peaceful, chaotic and characterised by an astounding pioneering spirit. The street scene is dominated by monks in wine-red clothes and a remarkably great number of beggars with leprousy. On this dangerous, Himalayan slope, fantastic architectural constructions, often hotels, are being built. But they are said to collapse quicker than they have been built, when heavy rains or glacier-melt water come down in torrents. Everything is beautiful around here, except the trees. It is forbidden to cut down their very trunk, but everywhere people have climbed up and chopped off all their limbs. After all, they need firewood. Power cuts happen on a daily basis and, of course, electricity is rationed - except when the governor of the federal state of Himachal Pradesh, to which Dharamsala belongs, descends on his subjects for an official visit. At those times water and electricity is available around the clock. Apparently he is not supposed to get an excessively realistic picture of the local peoples' everyday life!

Extractions: Maison du Tibet Informations Témoignages Documents ... tourisme D'une manière générale, il est apprécié de tous que l'on respecte les coutumes locales. Les tibétains, très respectueux de leur religion, y sont d'autant plus sensibles lorsque cela concerne les lieux saints (évidemment pas de short ou chapeau dans les temples, ni même dehors, et pas non plus de cigarettes !). Lorsque vous visitez des lieux religieux, respectez le sens de circum-ambulation (dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre), c'est-à-dire suivez le flot des pèlerins, et non celui des chinois ! Généralement, les guides chinois font exprès d'aller dans le sens contraire en proférant des énormités sur les « superstitions bouddhistes ». Essayez de faire comprendre aux tibétains, moines ou laïcs, que vous êtes européen : l'accueil n'en sera que meilleur. Petites habitudes de chez nous

http://www.tew.org/development/tibet.colleges.html

Extractions: July 29, 2002 The graduation of the first group of postgraduates from colleges in Tibet Autonomous Region has proved that local institutions of higher learning have become sacred sites where traditional Tibetan culture is carried forward and developed. The 10 postgraduates, all Tibetans, completed their post-graduate studies and were awarded graduation and master's degree certificates on July 17. They majored in Tibetology, the history of the Tibetan ethnic group, Tibetan language and Tibetan medicine which constitute the core of Tibetan culture over the past three years. Their success shows that Tibetans can promote and carry forward their traditional culture in pace with the times. This was unimaginable in the past, however. Before the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951, there was not a single school in Tibet in a modern sense and education was only a tool controlled and manipulated by temples, with some people taught in private schools. Tibetan culture and art were made to cater to the nobles and high officials, and the feudal serfdom shackled the spread and growth of fine Tibetan culture. King Gesar, the longest epic poem in the world, was then only handed down orally by folk ballad singers, who, at the bottom of the social ladder, could only make a living by singing the story of King Gesar, the legendary hero of the Tibetan ethnic group. Butthe ballad-singing was regarded by the nobles as "beggars' hurly-burlies".

Extractions: Chinese have fallen for Tibet. Growing numbers of Chinese now practice Tibet's form of Buddhism, fill their glasses with Tibetan booze and consider a jaunt on the high plateau a badge of cool. Many of the Tibetan practices they ape can be as tacky as white men in redface doing a rain dance. Yet given that official propaganda has for decades blamed Tibetan culture itself for keeping Tibetans poor, ignorant and not above suspicion of cannibalism, this sudden interest shows the government's decreasing ability to mold public opinion, and the growing independence of Chinese trendmakers. "More information about Tibetan culture has come available, so more people see its value," says Zhao Jia, a travel executive who next month will release an off-the-track guidebook to Tibet's farthest reaches.

Extractions: Updated on It's Go here for a list of Tibetan words and phrases. The Tibetan Highlands (historical Tibet) cover an area of about 900,000 square miles, roughly one-fourth of the total area of the United States. As the highest and most extensive plateau on earth, the Highlands extend from approximately the 79th through the 102nd degree of east longitude from Ladakh in the west to Dar-rtse mdo (Chin. Ta-chien-lu) in the east, and from approximately the 28th through 39th degree of north latitude from the Himalayas in the south to the Kunlun and Altyn-Tagh ranges in the north. The Tibetan Plateau constitutes the hub of the so-called Central Mountain Barrier, the great divide of Asia, running from east to west and cutting off the south of the continent from the north. Owing to the inverse curvature of the great mountain ranges to the north and south the shape of Tibet is somewhat oval. The Tibetan Highlands are not only rimmed by mountain ranges, but are also traversed by many mountain chains. The western border region has the highest elevation, especially in the area of Mount Kailas (Tib. Ti-se) and Lake Manasarovar (Tib. mTs'o ma-p'ang), (both old pre-Tibetan names). The Tibetans call it sTod-P'yogs ('Upper Region'). The descent to the west, to Maryul or the Low Country, i.e., Ladakh, is over passes reaching 19,000 feet.Tibet is called Bod (Po) by the Tibetans, Bhot by Indians, Tobet by Mongols, and Hsi-tsang by Chinese. Tibet comprises an area of 471,660 square miles and had a population of 1,500,000 before it was annexed by the People's Republic of China in 1951.

Extractions: Inaccessible Tibet. These words conjure images of remote mountains inhabited by yeti and adepts who sit naked in the snow, warmed by elevated body temperatures. Tibet has remained a very difficult place to visit and is more fantastic than imagined. It is a land of immense contrasts: snowy peaks and sandy deserts, barren plateaus and forested mountains, empty expanses and crowded cities, and a deeply religious people ruled by an avowedly atheistic government. In June-July 1996, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and Cypress College (CA) in cooperation with the Chengdu Institute of Technology made Tibet accessible to a small group of geologists. We travelled from Chengdu (C), to Golmud (G), to Lhasa (L), to Katmandu (K). This virtual field trip attempts to capture the highlights of that trip, which was led by Associate Professor He Dashun, Professor Lin Maobing, and Associate Professor Wang Wenbin (all from Chengdu) and Dr. Dorothy L. Stout from Cypress College. Without the diligence of He Dashun and his associates, this wonderful trip would have been impossible.

http://www.tibetanculture.org/message/

Extractions: Dear Friends, Forty years ago, following the occupation of Tibet, many Tibetans, including myself, left our home to live in exile. Since then, repressive policies and rule by force inside Tibet have brought our culture to the brink of extinction. In many cases, Tibetans have faced torture and death in order to protect precious symbols of our unique cultural heritage. The preservation of our cultural identity is a primary concern for all Tibetans. Growing international support for Tibet is a source of much encouragement to us. Still, the situation inside Tibet remains extremely grave. Though we continue our efforts to ensure Tibetan cultural survival, we need assistance. CTAC is working to create a better understanding of the people, culture and traditions of Tibet as well as the threat that confronts them. Tibet's culture, steeped in the compassion and non-violence of Buddhism, promotes happiness, peace of mind, respect for others, and concern for the environment. It forms a valuable part of the world's common heritage. Humanity would be poorer should it be lost. Tenzin Gyatso
