India - Dharamsala

It's so coincident that I decided to go to Dharamsala.
I just read some information on the internet, and I thought maybe it will be an amazing journey for me in India.
Dahramsala is famous because it is the location of Government of Tibet in Exile (西藏流亡政府), at the same time, Dalai Lama's resident is also here.
In 1949, Communist Chinese army marched into Tibet and started to control whole Tibet.
In 1959, Chinese government invited Dalai Lama to have a meal with the officers, most of Tibeten took this as a chace to trap him and got together outside of DaLai Lama's residence asking him to leave Tibet to protect himself and keep the spirit of Tibet going!
He did, he leaded around 250,000 people with him to leave Tibet to India, Budan, and Nepal.
Dharamsala is the centre of the excile goverment and also a popular place for people who interested in Tibeten Buddism.

Acturally I have to admit I am not really sure this history.
For Taiwanese, I got KMT's historial education which is not familiar with this at all.
(They have lost the war and retreated to Taiwan in that period)
But there are still lots of people in Taiwan who followed Dalai Lama as Tibeten Buddhists.
This year is just the 50th year of the asylum setup.
I am so impressed to India that they were willing to share their land with those guests.
I think not so many countries in the world who will feel free to do this.
Although only really few Indians are Buddhists, this religion still created here.
The written words in Tibet is based on Hindi (really similar).
Anyway, just like Dalai Lama said, Thanks India! You let the spirits of Tibet be able to keep.

I also took the chance to read some books about Tibet for this staying in Dahramsala.
I will try to discuss it as abjective as possible, but it is still so hard!
One monk introduced Buddhism to Tibet between 7th to 8th.
Tibet took this as their national religion after that.
The relationship with China and Tibet is always tight.
Mongolia (Yung Dynasty) and Manchu (Ching dynasty) were the foreign rulers for China.
They all asked Tibeten Buddhist as their national religion.
Most of the ceremony will also invite Tibeten monks to be the host.
Look at the Chinese history, they didn't like to attact other countries.
Mostly, they always asked them to take China as the king.
You can imagine the relationship between UK and other menbers of Great British countries.
It should be a little bit similar.
Based on that, I have to say Tibet was never belonged to China.

For 1959 to 90s, Dalai Lama still called upon Chinese government to return Tibet to themselves.
He also promised he will give up his any authorities on Tibet, moreover, he will help Tibet become a democratic country.
Recently, he changed a little bit to say he will be willing to let China as their country, but he hope Tibet be able to have parts of autonomy.

Unfortunately, Chinese government didn't have any positive opinion about that.
Based Tibeten govenment statistic, there were more than 1,200,000 Tibeten (1/6 of the population) killed by Chinese military or work-camp for the ruling of communist China.
Besides that, poor Tibet also suffered the destroy of Cultural Revelution in China.
90% of historial and religional stuffs were gone or become ruins.
And countless Chinese move into Tibet, it is not only gaining many business of Tibeten but also ruined and diluted the Tibeten traditions.

In sum, I learned some history and the real situation here.
Nevertheless it is not the big harvest for me for this time.
I kept find out how friendly Tibetens are.
They always showed their hospitality and kind for every tourists.
You don't need to bargain when you buy anything because most of them are honest to do the business.
For Chinese, they didn't even say to revenge or any evil words.
Dalai Lama keep ask everybody to forgive to keep the forgiveness in your heart always.
I was taken care and receipted many help from Tibeten from this trip.
Their spirits and personalities should be also listed into the UN world heristage.

I will not say "Free Tibet" or "Save Tiber," since they are always having different life to Chinese.
The military and political benefits should be much beyond than respect and comprimise.
