On March 6, the 14th Dalai Lama gave the opening prayer in the U.S. Senate, "the first time the Tibetan spiritual leader has ever done so", as Washington Post reported.

"The Dalai Lama is well-known for spreading the gospel of peace and compassion," said Senate Majorirty Leader Harry Reid,D-Nev.

In the American Heritage Dictionary, PEACE means the "absence of war or other hostilities", and COMPASSION means "a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for someone struck by misfortune, accompanied by a desire to alleviate the suffering".

"Prior to 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama, as head of the Tibetan local government and the chief representative of the feudal serf owners, accounting for less than five percent of the total population of Tibet, possessed the overwhelming part of the means of production, while the serfs and slaves, making up over 95 percent of the total population, suffered destitution, cruel oppression and exploitation,” according to the White Paper of “Fifty Years of Democratic Reform in Tibet".

In 1959, the CIA of the United States assisted the Dalai Lama and his relatives to escape to India and establish the Tibetan "government-in-exile" in the armed rebellion. The Los Angeles Times reported in 1988 as saying that the declassified document of the U.S. government had proved that the "Tibet-independence movement" was executed by the CIA. The document also showed its budget of "500,000 US dollars for 2,100 guerrillas in Nepal, 180,000 US dollars for the Dalai Lama. The total budget is 1.735 million US dollars," and "this budget is required to be approved soon." In addition, it also reported that the Tibet separatist guerrillas were trained in Colorado State of the U.S. and Nepal with the support of the Indian intelligence agency.

After the Dalai Lama fled to India on March 10 in 1959,the Dalai Lama reorganized the rebellious troops in the 1960s and had harassed China's border along the Tibet Autonomous Region. In the 1980s, he plotted the riot in Lhasa. In the new century, the Dalai Lama intensified his scheming from creating the bloodshe on March 14 in 2008 for "Tibet independence at the cost of other people’s lives" to the instigation of self-immolations.



On Sept. 10, 2006, French historian Georges-André Morin disclosed through media the France Culture that Naxi German had a close relationship with Tibet back in history.

According to Morin, as a part of the Nazi Schutzstaffel plan, the swastika on the Naxi flag was created based on the symbol of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries when Harry went on a German expedition for the origin of the Aryan.

Laurent Dispot, reporter of Le Monde also disclosed the relationship of Heinrich Harrer, an Austrian mountain climber and Nazi Schutzstaffel with the Dalai Lama on April 25, 2008. At the end of the article, Dispot wrote that "the collision between the Dalai Lama and the Nazi alone is enough to let the Western leaders rescind the support to the Dalai Lama for his‘nationalism'."

Another important friend of the Dalai Lama is Shoko Asahara,founder of Aum Shinrikyo(also known as Aum and Aleph, is a Japanese cult that combines tenets from Buddhism, Hinduism, and is obsessed with the apocalypse,sources from the American think tank Council on Foreign Relations), who was regarded as a terrorist for organizing the Subway sarin attack at the subway of Tokyo in 1995. Since Shoko Asahara met the Dalai Lama at the founding ceremony of the Japanese Aum Doomsday Cult in Tokyo, he has kept a close tie with the “spiritual leader” and has been strongly influenced by him,reported by Irish reporter Gerald Kerlonry.

On March 14, 2008, 2008,rioters took to the street robbing stores, burning schools and attacking civilians. Striking civilians’ skulls was the first choice of the "protestors" in murdering the masses, who set alight 200 residential houses and 80 buses as well as the fire ambulances.

After the incident, the Dalai Lama smiled as usual when being interviewed repeating his values of "peace and non-violence".

Stéphane Hessel, a retired French diplomat spoke highly of the "Pacifism and non-violence" principles "stuck to" by the Dalai Lama. "Non-violence" is Hessel’s favorite tag,but he gave his full support to the "humanitarian" blitz of the NATO toward Libya in 2011, which killed thousands of civilians.


The German media DIE WELT published an article written by German scholar couple Victor und Victoria Trimondi criticizing the Germans’view of the Dalai Lama as the "New Jesus", reported by the China Daily.

The article said, "from the historical perspective, it is wrong to regard the Lamaism as a mild religion. The Tibetan history has not a peaceful history. It was not until the 20th century that Tibet got out of the dark Middle Ages. In fact, in the cloak of religion, it is filled with violence, wars and power struggles. The religious conviction, religious trial and serfdom under the Lamas’regime is no difference from that in Catholicism."

The article also said that the order that "Guru System" in Lamaism disciples must fully obey their gurus has impeded the development of individualism, let alone their own fates. At the end of the 1990s, voices of criticism from the international community toward Lamaism and the Dalai Lama could often be heard. To them,the Dalai Lama himself had to admit the dark side in the Tibetan history.

The article also said that the Fundamentalism exists in the Lamaismsuch as theocracy, prejudice against women, belief in demons, sex and psychological abuses and corruption. And the "Shambhala War"in the "Kalachakra Tantra"(Shambhala is a Sanskrit term, commonly understood as a "place of peace and happiness".) the Dalai Lama believes in most is similar to the "sacred war" advocated by the Islamic Fundamentalism.

"The Dalai Lama and his followers have been covering its side of violence, to which the international community knows little about," according to the article.

On March 7, during the Dalai Lama’s visit to Washington,D.C., protesters from the International Shugden Community of Buddhists denounced the Dalai Lama as a‘dictator’because their devotion to the centuries-old deity Dorje Shugden has been rejected by the Dalai Lama as divisive, reported by Washington Post. "This has not only limited Shugden religious practice, but ostracized them from the Tibetan community in exile, which makes its home in India."

However, why have the Dalai Lama’s doctrines been listened to so attentively by the western politicians?

As Russian President Putin once said, the Dalai Lama is not a religious figure, but a political activist.

Rupert Murdoch, the founder, Chairman and CEO of News Corporation, the world's second-largest media conglomerate, described the Dalai Lama as "a politician in Gucci shoes traveling around the world."

Adrian Geigges,a German correspondent of Stern in China said, the Dalai Lama is not an "innocent angel in the westerners’ mind or image, but a tactful diplomat".
