Best wishes to His Holiness on the occassion of ur birthday. Mankind needs people like u for their upliftment. Almighty will give all the strength health and ur goals will be fullfilled in these year and may all ur troubles vanishes like a dew.
Dear His holiness, Happy birthday to you form me & my family. We wish you a very very long life & may God bless you with the strength to fight the Chinese oppression of the Tibetian people. India has ditched Tibet but the people of India love you & Tibetian people.
Your Holiness, I would like to greet you on your Birthday and want to assure you that I specially pray for your health and peace in your land. May your non-violent struggle for the freedom of Tibet be carried on. The world needs many examples of non-violence today. The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., are misuse of power and arrogance on the part of occupying nations. May peace be the gift for all! Varghese Manimala

I do agree bro... but tell me why Gandhiji have lotz of followers. Why cannot we (you and me) create the same vibration? There was something is Gandhiji ( We all have to admit). But as per father of the nation ( I strongly believe County is out mother, anyone who born here is a son of the country not father.. These cham-chas will not understand and our uneducated public will also not realized .. I admire gandhiji as a person and but hate him as a leader.

Gandhiji did make some mistakes, but so did others. We're making mistakes, too (i.e. allowing corruption and political leaders ruin our beautiful country). At least those guys had courage to face the worst of the worst. You can't blame Gandhiji for everything. I don't believe in non-violence, instead I believe in tit for tat. After all, he was a human being. At least he had courage to get beat up by bloody Brits, go in jail. Sumit, I completely agree that non-violence did not take us anywhere, but it did help us gain the respect in the world. I am proud to say that the great nation of India is the first country to gain its independence through non-violence.
Please don't blame Gandhiji or anyone else for what they have done for India.
Briefly, I am going to reiterate what John F. Kennedy said, "Ask what you can do for country instead what country can do for you."
Like debasis, I admire Gandhiji as a person, but do not agree with his few policies. And, please don't hate him.

this is an amazing column,every talks peace and in non-violent manner and are in harmony besides disagreemtn...hmmm.. I wonder why may be because we are talking about men who preach non-voilence
MY TAKE:the readers just proved Non-violence works
Chinese nation have shown greed for land and have destroyed neighbouring countries since ancient past. But now the time has come for tibetian people to reclaim their nation from evil nation.
Your Highness , with your blessings may peace reign supreme in the heart and soul of all individuals !!! May Lord give you the nergy spirit & tolerance to show us the way ....
Dear Lama u are a good man. But for what cause are u fighting. Tibet is growing , People are growing richer. Tibet has got the worlds highest rail link which has boosted its tourism inturn economy . Chinese government has promised to spend billions of dollars for its upliftment. So why you still want to fight for this cause. Nowdays people are happy there and the hans from chinese have integrated well with the tibetian community....Forget the past and return to potala .....U are one of the greatest spiritual leader so be spiritual not turn political. Long live lama....long live chinese tibet....
People i am am indian in china. China wants to own a big land mass. Claims a lot of territories as its own . Many people think china only uses force to acquire the land but the hidden thing is china wants to impress the acquired territory be spending tonnes of money than goes foe infrastructure building , economic upliftment. In case of tibet it used force to acquire and tonnes of money to retain it. In the case of hong kong china diplomatically acquired from the british , bus as soon due to asian financial crisis in 1997 many asian economies crashed including hong kong. China has put a lot of effort in making hong kong's economy powerful now.
So in any day a forcefully acquired economically powerful territory is better than a very poor and free territory . In this case though tibet was forcefully acquired its seculiarism and freedom of actions has improved only.

dude where are you speaking from...one of the Chinese operated concentration camps. Is it your brain writing this or is is controlled by the Chinese.
If you get a chance escape from that place and get rehabilitated at some institution.

Dude truth always sucks.....go to tibet and ask the tibetiens they will tell.....i ve been there man....Man i too dont like many of the chinese policies man, but the fact has to be accepted..... Just for ur reference US used force on Iraq and now see the consequence , Dick cheny and the Big shots in washington are stealing the oil , burn the oil in cars at Washington and the buildings at Baghdad....
U be to tibet , u will know what economic upliftment for the nomad has meant....
And dude the fact is The lama who was asking for the total freedom of tibet seeing the growing support for china in tibet has changed the stance as he needs a great degree of autonomy and not freedom.....

First, warm wishes to Dalai Lama.
Second, a very interesting discussion is waged here. Please see 7 years in Tibet if you have not - true story and not-challenged by the Chinese in to-to. But all things remaining equal, the Chinese can concentrate on their own country and not force Tibet to be theirs - I understand the nomad upliftment but it is like India entering south Bangladesh and saying "I want to help you'll out and you are arguably a part of India so listen to us...etc." I hope you get the point. Already lots of land in China are there and so much underdeveloped outside 50 kms north of Shanghai - they can start there and not fight for ice-land and kill poor non-armed Tibetans. Again, pls watch 7 years in Tibet (true story) - quite revelation. In their own little way, the Tibetans are self-sufficient and likes living an austere life. No harm in that!!
