This has already been tried, by the US since the Iranian revolution.
Didn't the Dalai Lama turn the other cheek? Might have done something for him personally but what did it do to Tibet?


Well no that's not what he did, that's a gross misrepresentation of what truly occurred. It's the kind misinformation that's common on the web.

The truth of the matter is that "the Great Thirteenth", the current Dalai Lama in his last life, knew all about these eminent events. In fact not only did he know about it, he tried to do something about it. It was well known--and understand as "advisors" we are talking about someone who had numerous close associates who were in what you call Unity Consciousness. The fact that China would come pouring over their eastern border was known literally many decades before it occurred. Consequentially, the Great Thirteenth knew very well he had to do something in his lifetime or the force of karma would be irreversible. So he made a campaign of it and went to eastern Tibet and warned the populace of what was to come. He told the people flat out. He told them they not only had to recruit armies but they had to fortify the border. This was decades before the Chinese would come and which would not even occur in his lifetime (it occurred during the lifetime of his current incarnation, the 14th DL). The people well understood what needed to be done. But they refused. Do you know why they refused?

In would have required an increase in taxes.

By the time the same scenario was passed on to a spiritually mature but politically naive (and very young) 14th Dalai Lama, the forces were already in place and Tibet was utterly unprepared. Invasion and genocide followed as prophesied.

However, consider the big picture. The high lamas of Tibet were spread like dandelion seeds across the earth. And thus another prophecy was fulfilled: When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the dharma will spread to the land of the red-faced people. And so it has.
