Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Thursday expressed his opposition to the violent protests by those opposing China's Tibet rule that have marred the Olympic torch relays in London, Paris and San Francisco. ''After More.. some trouble in London, as well as (in) Paris, I sent a message to Tibetans in (the) San Francisco area, 'please don't make any violent sort of activity,''' although they can express their feelings, said the Dalai Lama, who was making a stopover in Japan before his visit to the United States. The torch relay was held Wednesday local time in San Francisco, where the event was rerouted and cut short to avoid activists and demonstrators. The Dalai Lama reiterated his support for the Beijing Olympics in August, following the recent waves of unrest in Tibet. ''Right from the beginning, I support (China hosting) the famous world game(s)'' because it is the most populated and ancient nation, he said at a press conference in Narita, near Tokyo. ''In spite of unfortunate event(s) in Tibet, my position won't change.'' Asked if he would attend the Olympics' opening ceremony if invited, the Dalai Lama said, ''If things improve and (the) Chinese government starts to look realistically, I personally want to enjoy the big ceremony.'' On recent developments in Tibet, he called for international organizations to visit there and find out what is really happening. After March 10, hundreds were killed in different parts of Tibet and thousands were arrested, the Dalai Lama said. China's ''official explanation sometimes seems (like) a lot of distorted information so that sometimes creates unnecessary misunderstanding,'' he said.

Tibet, China -- Ownership of Tibet, Part Four #004

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:12:21 -0400

Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)When the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty in 1644, it further strengthened administration over Tibet. In 1653 and 1713, the Qing emperors granted honorific titles to the 5th Dalai Lama and the 5th Bainqen Lama, henceforth officially establishing the titles of the Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Erdeni and their political and religious status in Tibet. The Dalai Lama ruled the bulk of areas from Lhasa while the Bainqen Erdeni ruled the remaining area of Tibet from Xigaze. In 1719, Qing government troops were sent into Tibet to dispel the Zungar forces which had been entrenched in Lhasa for three years, and set out to reform Tibet's administrative system. The Qing emperor made a young Living Buddha of the Xikang area the 7th Dalai Lama and had him escorted into Tibet, and appointed four Tibetan officials renowned for meritorious service "Galoins" to handle Tibet's political affairs. From 1727, High commissioners were stationed in Tibet to supervise local administration on behalf of the central authorities. Officials were also assigned about this time to survey and delimit the borders between Tibet (i.e. Xizang) and Sichuan, Yunnan and Qinghai.In order to perfect Tibet's administrative organizations, the Qing Dynasty on many occasions enacted "regulations" to rectify and reform old systems and establish new ones. The Authorized Regulations for the Better Governing of Tibet, promulgated in 1793, had 29 articles. Their major purport was:The Qing government holds the power to confirm the reincarnation of all deceased high Living Buddhas of Tibet including the Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Erdeni. When the reincarnate boy has been found, his name will be written on a lot, which shall be put into a gold urn bestowed by the central government. The high commissioners will bring together appropriate high-ranking Living buddhas to determine the authenticity of the reincarnate boy by drawing lots from the gold urn. (Both the gold urn and lots are still pres...
