Comunità Tibetana in Italia ONLUS Tibetans use self-immolation to protest rule by Chinese as party congress opens BEIJING — Tibetan protests against Chinese rule intensified around the opening of a pivotal Communist Party Congress, as three teenage monks and two other Tibetans set themselves on fire over two days, activists reported Thursday. Four of the self-immolations took place Wednesday and were followed by a fifth involving a nomad in western Qinghai on Thursday. Since March 2011, dozens of ethnic Tibetans have set themselves on fire in ethnically Tibetan areas to protest what activists say is China’s heavy-handed rule over the region. Such protests have become more frequent in recent weeks, apparently aimed at the party’s weeklong conference that began Thursday to unveil the country’s new leadership. “These protests are aimed at sending the next generation of China’s unelected regime a clear signal that Tibetans will continue to fight for their freedom despite China’s efforts to suppress and intimidate them,” Free Tibet Director Stephanie Brigden said in a statement.
Jigtenmig - Classical Tibetan Language Blog Tibetan Arms and Armor Armor and weapons are certainly not among the images usually called to mind when considering the art or culture of Tibet, which is closely identified with the pacifism and deep spirituality of the Dalai Lama and with the compassionate nature of Tibetan Buddhism . However, this seeming paradox resolves itself when seen in the context of Tibetan history, which includes regular and extended periods of intense military activity from the seventh to the mid-twentieth century. Many excellent examples of Tibetan arms and armor can be found in museum collections today largely due to the fact that various types of armor and weapons continued to be used in Tibet into the early twentieth century, long after they had gone out of use in the West. Other types were preserved for ceremonial occasions, the most important of which was the Great Prayer Festival, a month-long event held annually in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. In addition to lamellar and leather armor, mail was also worn in Tibet.

L'ultimo tibetano comunista Sogno cinese Scritto da Simone Pieranni Martedì, 01 Aprile 2014 15:28 Phuntsog Wangyal, meglio conosciuto come Phunwang, è morto domenica scorsa all’età di 92 anni. Era noto per essere il «tibetano comunista», fondatore del partito comunista in Tibet e vicino alle posizione di Pechino, che poi in parte ha disconosciuto. La sua opera di 432 pagine, «Un lungo cammino per l'uguaglianza e l’unità», come altri testi proibiti in Cina è stato pubblicato da una casa editrice di Hong Kong, la New Century Press di Bao Pu, figlio dell’ex leader cinese Bao Tong (ai domiciliari dal 1989). Nel libro, ha scritto il Financial Times, «Phunwang sostiene che un ritorno del Dalai Lama in esilio, che la maggior parte dei tibetani considera come proprio leader spirituale, consentirebbe la riconciliazione e l’abbandono dei rancori». «La sua importanza è che non ha criticato la politica cinese verso le etnie da fuori, perché era un partecipante attivo della vita politica.
