As some of you may know, the peaceful land of Tibet has not always been so. It has quite a history of violence and tyranny (think karma on a national scale). Just fyi I’m pretty sure that China’s current claim to Tibet is actually fueled by an ancient edict in which Tibet declared itself part of China. You may wonder at the incredulity of this radical statement, but Tibet was taking over China at the time - so I’m sure it seemed reasonable to the Tibetans. Anyway, for those of you unaware of Tibet’s great history of religious war (one historian told me that the Tibetans in their heyday made the Catholics look like nursery school children…), you might find this video from the NYTimes interesting… the article is here.
