As a coterie of security guards ushered the Dalai Lama from his Aspen, Colo., hotel room into his motorcade, he sent them into disarray when he approached the crowd gathered in front to share smiles, blessings and a little conversation. Those surrounding mountains reminded him of the home he left long ago in Tibet, he told them. When the Dalai Lama appeared in Aspen last weekend, it was filled with plenty of only-in-Aspen sorts of moments. He met with likely Republican presidential candidate John McCain at a private West End home where McCain was also hosting a fundraiser. Speaking in front of an audience at the Aspen Institute, the first question from the crowd came from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. There is another side to this place, though. Sure, Aspen is famous for its glitz, but the surrounding Roaring Fork Valley, and Colorado as a whole, is an epicenter of Tibetan Buddhism, Western style, and the Dalai Lama's visit tapped into that enthusiasm. ...

By Lucky Severson c. 2008 Religion and Ethics NewsWeekly (UNDATED) All eyes are on China as it plays host to the 2008 Olympic games, and for the moment, earlier unrest over China's treatment of Tibet has largely moved off center stage -- much to Beijing's relief. Yet the decades-long tussle over Tibet continues to color the games, and some wonder what will happen after the Olympic torch is extinguished and the world goes home. Will the games have done anything to soften China's approach to Tibet? The run-up to the games made many nervous. In March, Chinese officials used force and armed troops to put down demonstrations by Buddhist monks inside Tibet and China. Monks and nuns were arrested and dozens were killed. In response, Tibetan Buddhists and their Western supporters chased the torch along its winding route to Beijing. Chinese authorities dismissed the protesters as "Tibetan hooligans" and placed the blame squarely on the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of some 6 million Tibetan Buddhists. But Robert Thurman, a Buddhist scholar at Columbia University, said the Chinese have it all wrong. "The Chinese are desperate now to try to claim that the Dalai Lama caused all this upset, which of course he totally did not," Thurman told Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly. "He was totally upset." For many, the sight of rowdy, aggressive demonstrators ran against a conventional notion of Buddhism as nonviolent, even passive. Yet Lhadon T ... Source: upcoming.yahoo.com --- 41 days ago
Thirty paintings lay out the concept of "paradise" in Tibetan Buddhism, understood through different approaches and teachings, the most radical of which confronts us with the realization that paradise is all around us if we are able to perceive it. Poetry and writings by Buddhist masters, including texts that guide the passage from death to rebirth, are provided to accompany the visual communications of these ideas in paintings, textiles, and sculpture. ...

The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, was suffering from exhaustion and has canceled two planned international trips to undergo medical tests, his office said Wednesday. The 73-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner had been "experiencing some discomfort in the past couple of days," a statement from his office said, adding that his doctors had diagnosed "exhaustion." The Dalai Lama just returned from an 11-day visit to France, capping an intense few months since the violent uprising against Chinese rule in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, in March and the subsequent harsh Chinese crackdown. The Dalai Lama spends several months a year traveling the globe to highlight the struggle of Tibetans for greater freedom from China and to teach Buddhism. He canceled two upcoming trips to Mexico and the Dominican Republic and would rest over the next three weeks, said Thupten Samphel, the spokesman of the self-declared Tibetan government-in-exile. ...

The Tibetan spiritual leader, appearing at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, offered a defense of Islam in response to a question about the rise of violent religious fundamentalism.

The juxtapositions pop: a contemporary actor from Los Angeles in an 18th century Annisquam cottage, explaining Tibetan Buddhism and its growing popularity on Cape Ann over a cup of French-pressed Starbucks coffee. It’s a warm, sunny morning, far from the chaos and noise of Lindsay Crouse’s freeway commute in southern California, where she has been active as a performer and teacher in both film and theater for decades. Most famous for her role alongside Sally Field in “Places in the Heart,” which won her an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress, Crouse has acted in several well-known films and television series, and has been summering in Annisquam since babyhood. Only recently has she brought her acting chops to Gloucester, though, acting last year and again this year in plays for the Gloucester Stage Company, as well as at Windhover Center for the Performing Arts in Rockport — the latter owned since the 1960s by Ina Hahn, Crouse’s professor of modern dance while a student at Radcliffe. Crouse is quiet, centered, and soft-spoken in person, animated about issues she cares about and philosophical about the state of our nation and planet, and the film and theatre worlds in which she has worked and lived for most of her life. Her foundation in dance is still visible in her posture as she moves barefoot about her comfortably cluttered kitchen; her Harvard education and years in New England and on the stage are discernible ...

There are plenty of travel books and lusciously illustrated magazine articles about Dubai (and the other wonderful Emirates). But I can't find a reliable social and economic survey of the money-sotted and tiny principality. We all know the basics. And this important basic, in particular: about 80% of the inhabitants are foreigners, not foreign immigrants. Guest workers, and I suppose guest workers should do as they are told. Well, these workers have very few rights, and the right to strike is not one of them. Still, as the FT reports this morning, 250 taxi drivers went on a five-hour work stoppage. Oh, yes: they were promptly deported. We know of other official debaucheries in the string of emirates; this is not an exception. I know that the fashionable human rights supporters are deep into the Dalai Lhama's historical freedoms to be a clerical despot, and at the moment it is very chic to have China as a target. I do not disagree with this posture, though Tibetan Buddhism is, after all, a despotism. Still, a new, if altogether artificial culture is developing in Araby. It is being supported by western industry and western finance, and its glories are dispatched to the western public by western journalists and western tourists. But what about the exported workers of Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Egypt, Yemen, Bangladesh? Are there any Palestinian workers in Dubai? Are you mad? ...

The Vikramasila Foundation and the Palden Sakya Centers of America announce that on Saturday, August 8, at 1 PM, the Ven. Lama Pema Wangdak will give a dharma teaching at the Palden Sakya Vermont Center, in Jamaica. Lama Pema has been Tibetan monk since he was 7 years old. After graduating from the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies in Benares, India, where he achieved his Acharya degree, Lama Pema was sent to the West by His Holiness Sakya Trizin, as the first of a younger generation of teachers in America from the Sakya order. For the past twenty years he has been guiding and inspiring Western students and practitioners, in the New York City area, Europe, and South America. For those who would like to participate in a traditional Buddhist practice as well as attend the dharma talk, Lama Pema will lead a Green Tara sadhana (ritual practice) at 10 AM. Both the practice and the dharma talk are free of charge; any meritorious donations will benefit the Pema Ts'al schools for Tibetan children in India and Nepal. Flowers and fruit for the shrine are welcome. The Palden Sakya Vermont Center is located at 227 Water Street, off route 30, in the village of Jamaica. All are invited to attend, and children of all ages are welcome. No background in Buddhism is necessary. For further information, call Michael Marantz at (802) 874-4739. ...

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala (or Shambala) is a mystical kingdom hidden somewhere beyond the snow peaks of the Himalayas. It is mentioned in various ancient texts including the Kalachakra and the ancient texts of the Zhang Zhung culture which pre-dated Tibetan Buddhism in western Tibet. The Bon scriptures speak of a closely-related land called Olmolungring. I hope you enjoy. All comments and critics are welcome as always. ...
clipped by: Smoke TNT clipper's remarks: 4) Thanks to China's press restrictions, Tibet doesn't even get a fraction of the media coverage the Palestinians get. Clip Source: backspin.typepad.com August 3 Visiting the Dalai Lama for her latest documentary, " Buddha's Warriors ," CNN's Christiane Amanpour casually compares Tibetan and Palestinian efforts for statehood Our visit coincided with the events that commemorate each March 10, the date the Dalai Lama fled Tibet on horseback in 1959. He managed to evade the Chinese Communist forces, disguised as a soldier and escaping at night. The somber remembrance is a little like what the Palestinians do every year. They call it al-Nakba, or "catastrophe," which marks 1948 when they lost much of their land as the state of Israel was founded. Here are four reasons such a comparison breaks down. 1) Tibetans don't seek China's destruction, or threaten Western interests. 2) Tibetans haven't launched a campaign of suicide bombings, rockets, or kidnappings. 3) The Tibetan independence movement is neither allied nor co-opted by foreign outsiders like Iran, Al-Qaida, Syria, Hezbollah, or the Muslim Brotherhood.
