I think its rational in the present context to have a Tibet...in the lines of his Holliness .A Nation not visualized as a discrete geographic entity but rather as an place where an opportunity of freedom and autonomy for Peoples culture and practises and living is guarenteed . I belive that eventually transformation could occur when Tibet becomes the shelter for the common Chinese currently craving for sprituality.No nation can survive without the foundation of sprituality.Its good for China to have a nation within nation for its own future
