82. The Status Of Tibet
    The Invasion of tibet. The turning point of tibet's history came in 1949,when the People's Liberation Army of the PRC first crossed into tibet.  
    http://www.tibet.com/Status/statuslaw.html
    
    Extractions: The Tibetan Government-in-exile, headed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled head of state and spiritual leader, has consistently held that Tibet has been under illegal Chinese occupation since China invaded the independent state in 1949/50. The People's Republic of China (PRC) insists that its relation with Tibet is purely an internal affairs, because Tibet is and has been for centuries an integral part of China. The question of Tibet's status is essentially a legal question, albeit one of immediate political relevance. The PRC makes no claim to sovereign rights over Tibet as a result of its military subjugation and occupation of Tibet following its armed invasion in 1949-50. Indeed, the PRC could hardly make that claim, since it categorically rejects as illegal claims to sovereignty put forward by other states based on conquest, occupation, or the imposition of unequal treaties. Instead, the PRC bases its claims to Tibet solely on the theory that Tibet became an integral part of China 700 year ago. Early History Although the history of the Tibetan state started in 127 B.C., with the establishment of the Yarlung Dynasty, the country as we know it was first unified in the 7th Century A.D., under King Songtsen Gampo and his successors. Tibet was one of the mightiest powers of Asia for the three centuries that followed, as a pillar inscription at the foot of the Potala Palace in Lhasa and Chinese Tang histories of the period confirm. A formal peace treat concluded between China and Tibet in 821/823 demarcated the borders between the two countries and ensured that, "Tibetans shall be happy in Tibet and Chinese shall be happy in China."

Music In The Ruins Wed, Jul 19, 2000; by Michael Zajac. Tibet was an independent country; a country that held a culture distinct from China, evident in Tibet's people, history, language, and politics. The majority of its population have embraced the Buddhist teachings of nonviolence and compassion for hundreds of years. The country and people were led by the Dalai Lama, who served as both the spiritual and political leader. The Tibetan people knew little about war, starvation, torture, genocide or the world outside the mountains that surrounded them. It was in 1949 when the People's Liberation army of China invaded and took control of Tibet. Since that time, they have transformed a quiet and peaceful country into a brutal police state. Already 1.2 million Tibetans, representing 1/5th of the total population, have lost theri lives as a direct result of the occupation. Over 6000 of its ancient monasteries have been demolished, the wild animals are gone, the forests have been logged and much of the land has been developed.

Careful, thoughtful and authoritative."A.

He balances the traditional focus on international relations with an innovative emphasis on the intricate web of internal affairs and events that produced the fall of Tibet. Scholars and students of Asian history will find this work an invaluable resource and interested readers will appreciate the clear explanation of highly polemicized, and often confusing, historical events.

    Extractions: Pendant The Tibet Fund was founded in 1981 at a time when the international community had seemingly forgotten the people of Tibet, though Tibet itself remained under the iron grip of the Chinese government. Few foreign journalists or tourists were allowed into Tibet, and the story of the Tibetan people and their suffering was largely unknown. The failure of the world to recognize and respond to the situation in Tibet left many Tibetan refugees demoralized and feeling abandoned. Humanitarian assistance to the settlements in India and Nepal had diminished greatly in the 1970's, and many people believed that the Tibetan refugee community was in danger of losing its ability to preserve and sustain its culture and national identity. It was within this context that the Tibet Fund was organized to assist the refugee community and to preserve and promote the Tibetan culture. Despite the lack of international awareness and support for Tibet, a small group of U.S. citizens and several Tibetan immigrants living in the United States established the Tibet Fund, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama as its patron. Its initial capital was $10,000, consisting largely of donations from members of the Tibetan community. One of the Tibet Fund's first projects was to sponsor a visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the United States to raise awareness about the Tibetan culture and religion. On that visit, His Holiness expressed his desire that the Tibet Fund focus its support on the Tibetan refugee community's efforts at self-help, self-determination, and self-sufficiency, as well as on spreading a general familiarity with Tibetan religion and culture in the West. Responding to this challenge, the Tibet Fund began supporting projects in India and Nepal, and working closely with the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) in Dharamsala, India. Among the accomplishments of these seminal years were grants to Tibetan cultural centers, educational programs focusing on the situation in Tibet, monastic and religious exchanges, educational opportunities for Tibetan students to study in the United States, and productions of various films and documentaries about Tibet.

    Extractions: the Efforts at Preservation of Tibetan Culture in Exile essay by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon BACKGROUND NOTES An excellent new book has appeared to fill out the limited information on modern Tibet. It is a history of the Chinese invasion and the Chinese attempts at total domination of Tibet: The Dragon in the Land of the Snows: A History of Modern Tibet Since 1947 The author, Tsering Shakya, was born in Tibet and later attended London University where he is now a research fellow. This book is well balanced, providing recognition for Chinese efforts that were aimed at helping the Tibetans (within the confines of the policy to absorb the nation into China) as well as those that were destructive. The early and dramatic part of the story—the Communist take-over in China and the subsequent invasion of Tibet in 1949 leading to the exile of the Dalai Lama in 1959—has been portrayed in the popular film Kundun and in the book My Land and My People by the Dalai Lama (1962).

    Extractions: Brief History of Tibet In 1949, one-hundred thousand troops from the newly formed People's Republic of China invaded Tibet. Until that time, Tibet had been home to one of the world's oldest and most religious civilizations. In the Spring of 1959, reacting to the brutal Chinese occupation, the people of Tibet demonstrated in the capital city of Lhasa, but were attacked by the Chinese forces. The Dalai Lama and 80,000 of Tibet's people fled into exile, taking temporary residence with their neighbors in Nepal, Bhutan, and India. Since the occupation, the People's Republic of China has carried out a campaign of cultural destruction against Tibet and its people. During this time, 1.2 million Tibetans - more than one-sixth of Tibet's population - have been killed. Over 6,000 monasteries, once the seats of Tibet's Buddhist religion, and other cultural centers have been destroyed and looted. Though several countries in the United Nations have condemned China's human rights violations, China has continuously ignored the views of the rest of the world. Such violations continue to this day, as the exiled Tibetan people wait to return to their once free country.

    From the Government of tibet in Exile.  
    http://www.tibet.com/Buddhism/budintro.html
    
    Extractions: Tradition has it that Tibet is the land of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion, and the Tibetan people are his descendants. They trace their ancestry to the copulation of an ape, an emanation of Avalokiteshvara, and an ogress, an emanation of the goddess Tara, whose progeny gave birth to the Tibetan people in the Yarlung valley. Buddhism became Tibet's state religion only later. Introduced for the first time in 173 C.E., during the reign of King Lha Thothori Nyantsen, it was gradually assimilated, disseminated and finally integrated into the Tibetan way of life due initially to the efforts of the religious kings. King Song Tsen Gampo took control of the kingdom at the age of thirteen and built Rasa Trulnang Tsuglag Kbang and Ramoche Tsuglag Khang two temples in Lhasa. He sent his minister Thonmi Sambhota to India to learn Sanskrit and writing, and as a result a Tibetan script was then modelled one of those current in India. He invited Acharya Kumara and Brahmin Shankara from India and the Nepalese Acharya Shilmanju, who began the propagation and translation of the Buddha's teachings. Although there was neither conspicuous nor extensive study of Buddhist doctrine, the king himself gave instructions to many fortunate people, mostly concerning the teachings of the Arya Avalokiteshvara. During the reign of King Trisong Deutsen, Buddhism was spread with great zeal after he had invited the Abbot Shantarakshita and Acharya Padmasambhava to Tibet. The task of translating Buddha's teachings was carried out with great vigour and enthusiasm. It is said that altogether one hundred and eight Indian scholars were engaged with Tibetan translators in the work of translating Buddhist literature into Tibetan. They also took part in establishing monasteries.
