We can't be lured by such worldliness: We are Tibetans




My comment on the post of a YouTube channel named as Tibet Travel (Tibet Vista), a Chinese propaganda portal, the post, almost one year old, titled as: Fastest Train in Tibet: My Awesome Lhasa to Nyingchi Bullet Train Experience 

And I had to read again such shallow comments by philistines, worldlings and that means, so pathetically, the idea of almost 95 percent of the fellow human being existing on this life-supporting planet, who have this privilege of being a natural citizen of a nation state (as new worlds are theirs now and we, the rest, believe or take so), and who have thus nothing other to concern about than ones' petty self-interests to shallow this life related or sensorial pleasure-gains at any costs, despite their claiming themselves as a human being with this unique talent of being able to 'ratiocinate' rather than just 'parroting' or 'copying after' or 'degrading oneself to the lowest level of a flunky'. But, in practice, who doesn't want to be such a loyal flunky in the prospect of such huge, sensorially massaging, gains, when your own country is independent more or less? Why you have to care other than your shallow desires, you idiots!

And, practically, I am not lured in the least by your 'bullet train' or 'science fiction'. I find just profound, everlasting potentials in mental developments to transformations to such degrees of self-command and rejoicing and dedicating, despite being there as in a dream that, too, in reality, comes to pass only by the complex doings of the core lucid, cognitive entity of a mind to its subtle, ineffable level. And remember about the dreaminess like of your yesterday's life no matter how it had been, which none of us care to relate with what we observe now before us, taken as so concretely out there before us, which none of us dare to propose or think or imagine how they will have appeared to us by then, like after a lapse of some time, as so distant and aloof, when we will be preoccupied with the same infinitesimally collapsing but seen as grossly extant appearances to chase after, with the same illusion of concreteness that we have now over what we observe before us.

Racial discrimination against a young Tibetan girl, a student in Belgium by a woman teacher


"To err is human, but to forgive is unusual." ~ Anonymous Yes, the person, the perpetrator, but not her actions and that of a teacher in a Western civilized country like Belgium. I hold that taking legal actions against such isn't to ruin her or her career but to enlighten her in her life journey as a 'teacher', an educator, a master. She isn't qualified as a teacher yet but a discriminator, a bully. Can she do so to those of other races with their strong lot in Belgium? Why to a demure young Tibetan girl? The next one can be someone else's daughter or son, if not a Tibetan, an Asian one. Yes, great is peace, forgiveness but there should be some genuine sense of regret, remorse to enlightening or correcting herself, and can she have such? For me, the young Tibetan girl is really brave for having been able to sound off thus, for we very often tend to be timidly silent in such cases wronged by an outsider. But if done by a fellow Tibetan, then we can gang attack like happened in Belgium a few years back to stabbing to death like happened in France and that for petty, personal issues. I know commenting here thus doesn't make any sense, but how long we can pretend to be someone else. I am hitting on the point of the need of the convergence of moral enlightenments of both the forgiver and the one forgiven. And it isn't just for the young Tibetan girl but for her voicing against that edited, sensationalized footage (now more or less proved to be masterminded by CCP's nexus zeroing in on defaming His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama and dividing fellow Tibetan by arousing regional and sectarian jingoism among us) telecasted by certain medias and hyped by a few senseless 'celebrities' or greed or cupidity slaves. 

And, more surprisingly, how that teacher of a discriminator doesn't have the sense to make some personal research before treating the young Tibetan girl thus before her classmates. Like who, where this manipulated clip was first published (YouTube to Twitter by whom to by certain media outlets in India to by Celebrities of the sort to by Chinese ex-official to by Chinese official to by Global Times, the CCP's mouthpiece) and why? I think she is like the majority of Westerners is, a diehard believer of what any  portal of media says, but we believe them to be eclectic, maverick, educated.

Long live His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama: My root-guru


So I stand still like a tree, as per Acharya Shantideva's words in his chef d'oeuvre, A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, when one's, here my own, root-guru (or guru) is being groundlessly defamed by someone or more in the name of 'speaking up' or 'concern' like for 'animals' rights', 'women's rights', 'children's rights', 'sexual harassment', etc.--those catchy, attractive wordings so innocently vulnerable. But the question is can the media, so biased and sensationalism-starved by now, uphold its own principles practically as being taught academically in the stream of journalism before a luring candy (life-changing it can be but individually and worldly) posed by a sinner zeroing in on obstructing human flourishment in terms of freedom of expression, faith, gathering and determining one's own course of life? Can it be possible of living out, freely despite being just worldly, and that out of propagating just 'sensationalism' for the majority of a human mass so unfamiliar with 'ratiocinating', 'self-inspection', 'self-discovery' in this digital or internet era? I am so sure,  however, those sensationalism-starved Indian media outlets are destined to burst at last out of being over-inflated, biasedly self-interested. And so, by and large, an unbiased human sense reigns ever like one's true inner sense so subtle, so unfamiliar with our being familiar with just grossness or coarseness or crude self-interests of ours.

We have such treasures: Tibetan ladies who shine

Really, both of the ladies are great, and, here, the speaking one is sort of unbelievably unique. And, in essence, we have such Tibetan ladies, so eclectically educated mavericks. The main speaking one has really encompassed the essence of Tibetan Buddhist Studies, the direct products of Nalanda University, the two truths: conventional and unconventional, like the two sides of a coin, the means and the product, the relativity (so dreamy and infinitesimally collapsing but there...) and the emptiness of absoluteness or inherent origination. And, yes, thereby getting that each of the two sides forms the great co-relative truth, the one being the only means of  getting the other... Really, I do respect such Tibetan ladies and such ladies in general, who can pursue something of such grandeur, absolutely not related with superficial, earthly glitters and glamours arching just on 'money' and no more. And, yes, such a one treats money just as a minor or secondary means.
