"The history of Tibet is the most moving example of an attack on innocence, made today by soldiers. It is a true story about a planet inhabited by a tribe of Pandora Na'vi people, as shown in the film Avatar . "- Beatrice Pawlikowska wrote in his book titled: Blonde in Tibet.
Well, who watched Avatar James Cameron? I'm guessing that most readers, at the end of eighteen months ago the movie was a made famous. The work of the director of Titanic , 3D, an original idea - the cinema filled with spectators. What is the movie? About Pandora, a planet inhabited by strange, blue ludków. Respectful of each other and any other creature. Until someone decides to destroy them all. A Pawlikowska compares well with the situation in Tibet. For what was and what is Tibet?
Roof of the World course. Up in the Himalayas, was a small state isolated from the rest. Tibetans are not engaged in technical innovations, modowymi, or politics. At the head of state became the Dalai Lama. This name was established in 1578, and it means nothing less than the Ocean of Wisdom. Each of the rulers is actually one and the same person - through reincarnation. You could say that Tibet is governed for six years the same man, and find his next incarnation is always accompanied by unusual events. A small child, which recognizes objects belonging to the previous ruler, be requested to return them (though I never saw these items on the eyes) - and so here it will be recognized as the reincarnation of Gedun Drup. And so, four years after the death of Thubten Gyatso, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama or found another little boy. He was born in 1935, Tenzin Gyatso. "The Office" took over the age of fifteen, he escaped after nine to India. He wandered for thirteen days on foot or by donkey (he was too ill to go), India was granted political asylum and received a house, now known as "Little Lhasa" - The Dalai Lama lives there today. The only question is - why the Dalai Lama fled?
Tibet is located at an altitude of about 5000 meters above sea level - hence the name, Roof of the World. The air at such altitudes is thinner, the smallest effort leads to massive short of breath. Sport would be a waste of energy, so the only the only discipline here was throwing a stone (one of two ways: who is the furthest or the target). The life of Tibetans mainly revolved around prayer and the practice of barley - barley because only held up well in harsh, Tibetan terms. We all love each other, lived according to the principles of Buddhism, and although I did not really have much in material terms - to be happy. Why should they grieve over something you did not know? They had each other and their religion. Focusing on the spiritual realm of human life is not sorry for lack of money - they were fulfilled. People can not understand the lack of material needs, focusing only on those non-physical. Chinese they could not understand it.
In 1950, Chinese troops invaded Tibet. It was decided to liberate the poor. Communist neighbor decided to help Tibet in its own way. In the end what it takes to be a system in our modern world? No way.
Tibetan monks were involved in teaching. Wise studied books, meditated, and helped to become better people to her students, ordinary Tibetans. Tibetans as spiritual guidance to repay, sharing food with the monks. Therefore, the monks could take up teaching - and they were not hungry. A Chinese did not like this - the population holds a social group that does nothing for the common good? That, my dear, is called the feudal system. Wyzwólmy them! Thus, Mao Tse Tsung (by the way, a very popular figure in the PRL) decided to liberate the poor, the oppressed Tibetans. And they could not defend themselves. Army of Tibet? Four thousand soldiers defending the borders from curious tourists. Attacking Chinese people were ten times more. And there is nothing to be surprised. The Tibetans did not think anyone interfere. War? Why? Yet Tibet, Buddhism, after all, did not support violence. Nobody here does not bother anyone ... except the Chinese.
Dalai Lama in his autobiography My Land & My People describes the atrocities the Chinese. Tibetans are subjected to various tortures by them leading to death. Beatings, hanging on the crosses, burning alive, drowning, autopsy, starvation, strangulation, hanging, repeatedly doused with boiling water, burying alive, rip the guts harnessed to plows, and many other methods that have been - as he wrote the Dalai Lama - "too cruel to them describe here. " And hard to imagine worse things than those listed above. Shooting seems to be here for quite a pleasant alternative, right?
Executions took place in public, family and friends of the accused (even if not always "the accused" because the Chinese did not want to even try to judge fairly, do not look for evidence of innocence, but even the fault), look at the suffering of loved ones. Monks were ordered to marry and take to work (the second son in the family was formerly put into the monastery), the children stayed away from their parents taken away to China, because the parents without children can better work children as it could get an education. During these trips to China, kids are subjected to painful treatments przeróżnym, it is said also to sterilization.
"I read the history of Tibet. It amazed me three things. Firstly, how much his story is similar to Polish history. Second is that in today's world is possible felony in front of witnesses and concealed. And thirdly, how lost civilization, whose biggest offense this happened, he believed in nonviolence and peace "- by Beatrice Pawlikowska. And I agree with her, who is not? Who does not - apart from the Communist Party of China?
So far killed more than 1.2 million Tibetans (about 20% of the population), are the reason for executions, torture and starvation (farmers were told to plant wheat instead of rice and barley, which obviously had no chance to survive the conditions in Tibet that year and died of starvation 70 000 people), 100,000 prisoners in labor camps, was arrested about 3,000 people, destroyed over 6,000 monasteries. Chinese Language became an official language, women are subjected to forced abortions if they become pregnant without permission. The Chinese have built roads, introduced the technique hate religion, they do not understand it. All these crimes are called, of course, Peace Liberation of Tibet (quite an ironic name, eh?) And 23 May we celebrated the 60th anniversary of this wonderful peaceful liberation. 60th anniversary of the terror and aggression used in the Tibetans.
I want to put just one question - how come? No one has turned to Tibet to help. Allies do not want to mix, the UN did not react. The International Commission of Jurists concluded that what the Chinese are doing is genocide. But so what? No major response, except maybe the silent support.
getting people to Iraq, even after Poland participates in the war. Is this the right thing - I do not know, do not judge me. But everyone there. And how much I hate war and violence, how great I am a pacifist - just do not understand why no one responds so the issue of Tibet? People pay attention to it so many times, but ... what? No progress. The case of Tibet is still standing still. Leaders fear the reaction from China. Tchórzymy?
I suggest to remember how it was in Poland under communism. Also no one was eager to aid us apart ourselves. With this, however, that we were "free" state and it was more of us. Tibet is no longer even a state, is part of China. Not only that, the Tibetans are the minority there, everywhere we see the Chinese people. At each corner stands the Chinese patrol. Why?
