Tibetan Parliament in Exile: a personal portal to the doings of every governance at large


Following our parliament in exile's ongoing sessions and trying to feel its fever, but being within the limit of what is known as 'disinterested' coloration and participation, like what V.S. Naipaul, the great writer, an Indian by origin, writes that being familiar with a small drama leads to the understanding of great, complex drama, like the understanding of every complex formation through being familiar with a microcosmic entity first, I happen to come to get more of the developed country where I live as a guest, or say of every governance and its system at large. Then why not of a small, tucked away country below the 'developing' line; then why not of that is more or less of the relationship between a serf and a squire.

62nd Tibetan Women's Uprising Day commemorated in Dharamshala

It's rather sad for me to find less posts on the historic event in our struggle/resistance against Red China's illegal occupation of our country, known as March 12, Tibetan Women Uprising Day, on the social networking sites like facebook. But we have before our eyes, like here in France, during this year March 10 protest event, seemingly costly long colorful banners depicting a certain identity of a certain grouping, like meant to confuse our voice, our presentation to the world. What such a one (the name withheld as a token of consideration from my side) has to voice for other than for our collective cause. If such a one wishes, they can hold a separate event by itself, not to defile our historic event.

A Tibetan by origin


A Tibetan by origin, like those from the Himalayan regions at large who speak Tibetan and share the same mores related with Tibetan Buddhism, is the product of our forebears, the great empire and emperors' legacy that we should be able to keep as ours, not as someone adventitious. Being in the West, you might have come across how much even a developed nation, why not a 'super power' (the funny phrase), vies for incapsulating everything and everyone into their own intramural tropes and motifs, namely their ways of living, presenting as off the stale taste of yesterday's feast, can you feel it so yet?

Happy Losar 2148, Year of the Iron Ox!


The beauty of diversity lies not so much in its difference as in its linchpin, nothing other than it after all, that holds and disports its iridescent resplendence, like an arras of a tapestry whose beauty lies not so much in its multicolored threads as in its central wefts that hold them and give a space for each trope of a motif to stand out in its own way. Happy Losar 2148, Year of the Iron Ox!

A good idea


American embassy in Lhasa, a great idea. I want to hear Lhasians mingling their mellifluous lilts of Lhasa dialect into American, the best of the best for letting the other get what you want to express, the fast-food of what a language is all about for a plebeian, like myself. And, yes, as communally and convivially engaged and organized as Kyoto Tachibana Senior High School (SHS) Band, such a demo-oriented participation in appreciating the hardworking students taken to the streets for the people, like calling them out to breathe fresher air rather than holing up inside--come on Lhasians, come out and take to the streets so!

A repost of one of my facebook posts



'It seemed to me that men were born only to grow old, to live out their span, to acquire experience. Men lived to acquire experience; the quality of the experience was immaterial; pleasure and pain--and, above all, pain--had no meaning; to possess pain was as meaningless as to chase pleasure. And even when the illumination vanished, became as thin and half nonsensical as dream, I remembered that I had had it, that knowledge about the illusion of pain.' ~ VS Naipaul, A Bend in the River

My comment on this post on facebook back on  06 April, 2015. (Edited)

'The unity of experience', 'the illusion of pain' are, for me, like the interplay between sadism and masochism, the former begetting the later desperation standing on two different rawness defined by endless self-interest. The illusion, however backed by some sentimental or spiritual ground at last, is as variably risky as the interpretation of a presented idea of any. It's up to if the aggregated experience is workable, though desperate, through one last crash course for some sounder illumination or not, and for which, I think, the need of paramount importance is a workable ground of philosophical enlightenment which is itself heuristic, ever learning, adjustable and thereby robust ever.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama In Conversation with Greta Thunberg and Lead...


'Feedback loop', 'refreezing' to let remain the permafrost of Artic to Tibetan plateau to let do their natural job, 'reforestation' for balancing the sucking in of carbon and releasing of oxygen for our being able to live on this only life-supporting planet so far, 'educating ourselves' on such matters related with the existence of humankind with something grander of meaning than an animal: the former is sort of abstract as the coining of any idea is before getting to it with some sense of personal experience, but it does matter in being familiar with how we live and crave for, more needs, more such needs that aren't worth-craving for at all as we somehow tend to get to it at the end. Yes, it's rather an abstract idea than just a concrete, materialistic entity of being able to satisfy your demand with a diamond ring or something concrete like a Ferrari car; it's. It's about the reaction (feedback) of abnormal melting of permafrost of the areas as of the cause of fossil oil emission (from rigging for it, refinery plants to personal usage to those irresponsible acts), and thereby the release of excess of carbon into the air that turns out into 'heat trapping gas', namely 'greenhouse gas', as of the want of proportionate challengers in balancing it. So, the network or the cycle of cause and effect (loop) of the same reaction experienced in the sense of 'heatwave' or any across the globe, by every individual. Though the webinar was sort of carried out in haste as of the trammel of time now, it's worth-joining and learning for a Tibetan like myself, displaced, in exile.
