  • great pod// presents the "real Tibet" and the issues facing the tibetan people inside tibet. China is sino-cizing tibet and aims to exterminate Tibetan culture and identity -now, especially with the recently built railway connecting China to Tibet & the huge influx of Han chinese into tibet. *In Lhasa, Tibet''s capital Chinese people already outnumber Tibetans -but i guess to the world the Tibetan people and their identity is expendable.

  • Another fine pod, Adrian but I must disagree journalistically and historically with how you worded one important line. Mao's war wasn't on "spirituality" Mao's war was on elite monks in a campaign of communisim. They destroyed the monastic schools not because of a hate for Buddhism but because the schools were bastions of wealth-hording--severly crippling the peasants who were forced to feed the monks. If you know my work you know I sympathize with Buddhists and Tibetans (See pod Whose Sacred Land) I just want people to understand the authenticity of Mao's reasons for destroying the monasteries. Awful and ruthful but nonetheless coming from an ideology of communalism and wealth sharing.

  • China killed thousands of Tibetans. Now they are taking over the land and economy. Tibet is being raped and the world doesn't give a sh..t. This is the world we live in. Questioning this fact is like questioning global warming.

  • nice pod. its sad that the spirituality of the tibetan culture is dissolving into consumerism.. "american spyle".
    i can only wish freedom for the tibetan people..
    thanks for the pod!

  • This piece depicts the dire situation in Tibet. I recall reading some of Dali Lama's book, but never have I seen a visual representation of oppression in Tibet. The impacts of soft power, and globalization is crazy to me...there is a sharp contrast between the coors light beer girls vs. the fight to preserve buddhist culture, and life...

    Very well done...
