----Look Off World, nobody
downplayed the destruction of Tibet. That considered, we Westerners have
benefitted greatly from the diaspora of the Tibetans, since they have come
abroad and started teaching giving such immense and esoteric teachings as the
Nyingthig Yabshi, Guhyagarbha, Kalachakra, and so much more. Tibetans in
general love the West and democracy. My lama here says if we are to get along
with him then we must memorize the American National Anthem. They love the red
white and blue as those are the colours of the Dur or demonic exorcism
guardians. We are seen by them as guardians against the demonic in mankind,
not the opposite as many Hindu fundies have suggested.
The reason noone ever did
anything about China is what can one do? They are simply put, as powerful as
anyone else in the world, if not in technology then in human might. Plus, the
damage was quickly done and not able to be undone. The Dalai Lama himself now
suggests reconciliation and integration into China as he thinks that would be
most beneficial for Tibetans still extant in Tibet as they would benefit from
the material wealth of the greater nation. Moreover, he feels that there
is hope that as communism disintegrates that Buddhism can perhaps replace the
rank materialism of China's present system. The Dalai Lama as a very smart man
sees that it's too late to 'turn back the trends of time (MMY).' Instead, he
hopes to change the future trends through maybe getting peace back into the
politics of the Chinese for the future. I believe this would be like instead
of mourning over the cracked egg, making an omelette out of it.
Nonetheless, the Tibetans have
been purified through fire, and their beliefs are stronger for it. I have
always comsidered them the 'sacrificial lamb for the slaught' of Revs.
I used to work with an American
Indian medicine man named Bearheart, who was a very powerful Cree Indian. He
told me that in general, the demise of a people nonetheless brings out the
truth of the people, and that therefore, though there are less medicine men,
he said that the ones alive now, though not well known, are nonetheless the
most powerful of them who ever lived. Their knowledge was born of the greatest
strife and has been tempered in the hottest fire. So don't think that
all of Tibet or its culture has been lost. Quite a good bit has survived,
certainly more than the knowledge of our own indigenous peoples here in
America.
The dispersal of Tibetan Buddha
Dharma into the world at large will bring it back to the Chinese land, and
that perhaps is the greatest revenge that could ever be had. Consider that
(and think outside the box ;0 )
