But why did you use Africa to deliberately downplay China's atrocities in Tibet, and immediately turn attention away from it? The world has ignored Tibet. China is VERY guilty of mass genocide. ----Look Off World, nobody downplayed the destruction of Tibet.  That considered, we Westerners have benefitted greatly from the diaspora of the Tibetans, since they have come abroad and started teaching giving such immense and esoteric teachings as the Nyingthig Yabshi, Guhyagarbha, Kalachakra, and so much more.  Tibetans in general love the West and democracy. My lama here says if we are to get along with him then we must memorize the American National Anthem. They love the red white and blue as those are the colours of the Dur or demonic exorcism guardians. We are seen by them as guardians against the demonic in mankind, not the opposite as many Hindu fundies have suggested.   The reason noone ever did anything about China is what can one do? They are simply put, as powerful as anyone else in the world, if not in technology then in human might. Plus, the damage was quickly done and not able to be undone. The Dalai Lama himself now suggests reconciliation and integration into China as he thinks that would be most beneficial for Tibetans still extant in Tibet as they would benefit from the material wealth of the greater nation.  Moreover, he feels that there is hope that as communism disintegrates that Buddhism can perhaps replace the rank materialism of China's present system. The Dalai Lama as a very smart man sees that it's too late to 'turn back the trends of time (MMY).' Instead, he hopes to change the future trends through maybe getting peace back into the politics of the Chinese for the future. I believe this would be like instead of mourning over the cracked egg, making an omelette out of it.    Nonetheless, the Tibetans have been purified through fire, and their beliefs are stronger for it. I have always comsidered them the 'sacrificial lamb for the slaught' of Revs.   I used to work with an American Indian medicine man named Bearheart, who was a very powerful Cree Indian. He told me that in general, the demise of a people nonetheless brings out the truth of the people, and that therefore, though there are less medicine men, he said that the ones alive now, though not well known, are nonetheless the most powerful of them who ever lived. Their knowledge was born of the greatest strife and has been tempered in the hottest fire.  So don't think that all of Tibet or its culture has been lost. Quite a good bit has survived, certainly more than the knowledge of our own indigenous peoples here in America.   The dispersal of Tibetan Buddha Dharma into the world at large will bring it back to the Chinese land, and that perhaps is the greatest revenge that could ever be had.
