As Tibet’s revered spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, prepares to mark 50 years in exile, a special prayer ceremony is held on Sunday in Dharamshala for those killed in the March 2008 uprising. Tibet’s government-in-exile says 200 Tibetans were killed in the crackdown following last year’s protests. China says police killed one "insurgent" and blamed Tibetan "rioters" for 21 deaths. Sonam Dagpo, Secretary for International Relations, Tibetan Government-in-Exile, “Many Tibetans have been killed, many have been tortured, many have been imprisoned, many are suffering under the Chinese repression. So this is a meeting to pray for the Tibetans who have died under the Chinese operation.” Dawa Dolma, Tibetan Exile, “For their country a lot of people have died, and for them we are having these prayers so their souls get peace, so they are reborn with good karma.” Dalai Lama walking through crowd to get to prayer ceremony.Crowd of Tibetan monks sitting and praying.

Dalai Lama coy about naming a successor.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:21 -0500

The Dalai Lama himself has been coy about naming a successor. He says it could be through reincarnation, election or even appointment. But the uncertainty is doing little to reassure Tibetans, especially the younger generation who advocate a more aggressive stance against China. Tenzin Choeying, National Director, Students for a Free Tibet, “We have led a non-violent movement for a very long time. And what we now see is an escalation of tension inside Tibet, and Tibetans are really frustrated.” Many believe it’s the Dalai Lama’s unifying leadership that is keeping this frustration from boiling over. Now more than ever, Tibetans here in Dharamshala are in desperate need of their spiritual and political guardian.
