Whenever it comes to Uyghurs or Tibetans, the Chinese go crazy and talk about how good you live and how propagandistic the West is.

I was harassed by at least 40 Chinese people for bringing up this issue several times so I had to delete it because they wouldn't leave me alone until I deleted it, sorry

A Uyghur never says "I am an Uyghur and I am currently in China and I am living well" or the Tibetans never did this too, but the Chinese always respond to these issues by saying "they are living very well"I can't read any Tibetan answers about Tibet because they are all full of Chinese answers (example:quaro etc.)

When asked about Tibet, I want Tibetans to give the answers, not from Chinese ppl!

This journal published a study on racial bias by Chinese authors studying Tibetan children.

The study was itself filled with incredibly racist language about Tibetans.

The apology was issued after complaints.

Hey all. I'm an American student from the University of Washington over in Seattle. I have a great interest in East & Central Asian cultures, and coming from a predominantly rural area has opened my eyes to a lot. We have a lot of international students from here, particularly from China. One of my friends who is an international student from China tried to tell me about the history of China and Tibet's relationship and why the people in Tibet are oppressed. Now I know the government in China probably has used propaganda campaigns against many of its citizens, so I take this with a grain of salt. I do not in any way endorse it or believe it, that's why I'm coming here to learn the other side of the story.

His reasoning was (CW: s*xual violence):

• In Tibet, specifically Tibetan Buddhism, many Tibetans would do the practice of 人体肉莲 活体肉莲, which I could not fully comprehend, but from what he told me in English and what I've read on Chinese websites, it is basically cutting off the v*gina of women while still alive and using it as a sex toy. He said that they were doing this to many young girls, so it was necessary for China to do the things they do. This seemed rather absurd to me and not in line with Buddhism as well, so that's why I'm skeptical about it. I've come here to see if there's any truth to what he said at all and/or to provide context.

This book gives a scholarly walkthrough of Tibet's culture, landscape, and people. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about how it used to be before the Chinese annexation of Tibet.

I was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mb4-vpgI74&t=673s and at 10:45 there is a song playing that I can't find. If anyone can help id it for me I would be extremely grateful.

In my quest to find this song I have listened to many hours of Tibetan music and love it so much! Somehow I can't find this particular one though.

I know this is a very sensitive topic among the tibetan community but I want to better understand this topic regarding the relationship with the dalai lama and Buddhism, the PRC and the history between those two sides. What are the plans from each party once they achieve their goals? Why is there so much disharmony between them? How is the CTA involved in this?

Id like to ask for an unbiased portrayal with pros and cons from both sides so I can make up my own opinion. Links and sources to further information would also be highly appreciated.

As tibetan I'd like to do my own research but my own limited tibetan reading and understanding capabilities are holding me back which is why I'm asking for your guys help.

Hi all, i recently visited Tibet and while going around with our driver he used to sing this song a lot? can anyone help me identify the singer and the name of the song? I just have a screenshot from the music video.

My friends and I are on exchange in Beijing and want to go to Tibet and Everest base camp, but all the travel agencies we find are super expensive (900 euros per person). Travel agencies are our best bet because they do all the complicated stuff to get us a permit but it’s just way too expensive. Is there another way we can go about it?

i recently travelled to nepal and am currently in india. while in pokhara i met a number of refugees and befriended two brothers who took me to their camp and introduced me to their family. they were the kindest and most generous people i had ever met - their mother made me food and traditional tibetan tea and even gave me apples that she had got from mustang. they had absolutely nothing but gave me so much. i want to give back but i don’t know how. i plan to go and volunteer after my travels but want to know if there is any way to give back monetarily in the mean time. does anyone know any good ngos that offer quality assistance or any other way to give back. FREE TIBET!

I am trying to identify on Google Maps the supposed birthplace of Tsangpa Gyare, the founder of the Drukpa lineage.

This is listed often as near "Kule" in Tsang, and elsewhere as "slopes of Habo Gangzang (ha bo gangs bzang) in Upper Nyang (nyang stod)".

I guess this is the Nyang Chu that connects Gyantse to Shigatse, in which case the location should be upstream (east?) from Gyantse, somewhere around this path from Gyantse towards Druk Ralung (near "Relongxiang"?):

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xcvEYZUjpbn22x9k8?g_st=ac

Around half way along this there is a place called Gyare/Jiare ("Jiarecun" on Google Maps), I wonder if this has any connection to the name of Tsangpa Gyare.

Any help/thoughts much appreciated!

Hey there! I want to travel to Nepal next year and while there I would love to check out a little bit of Tibet as well. My idea was to rent a bike in Kathmandu, travel with it by bus to Lhasa and then ride with it back to Kathmandu. But I heard that Border Officials have sometimes declined people in the past when they wanted to bring their bike into Tibet. Does anyone know what the situation there is? Do you think it's possible?

I heard there is a quite story of tibetan guerilla, and i want someone tell me about it. I also heard there is a chinese guy who helped tibetan guerilla or whatnot. I would be appreciate it if some one can tell me about it

May Tibet be free again🙏🫶🪷

I know the article which is published is a china sponsered news agency, I'm trying to do a reverse image search but look like every website has a link with China which can not be trusted as a reasonable source. So is this true which is written in this article? specially that one in which a man with having his hand cutoff and holding the same with other hand?

http://www.cctv.com/english/special/tibet/20090604/108272.shtml

All i know, is that his name is lobsang, and today we uaed google translate and eventually figured out he speaks "tibetan". I think hes from Nepal, as that's the first language he tried to use on translate.

What would be a casual greeting i can say to him? I love lobsang and have worked with him for years.

I have been told that during 1949 a platoon of PLA soldiers went missing around Golok and their descendants are looking for the dead. It seems that around 47-49 Chinese soldiers was chasing Golok tribesman and thats the only thing they know. The Chinese are saying that a book has been written about the incident so thats how they know. When I asked the books name ..they dont have it. They just know that a Tibetan book has the incident recorded in it.

So if any of you have any sources do tell me.

I'm trying to work out whether it's possible to book an overland tour from Kathmandu to Lhasa, and then travel onwards into mainland China without a guide and then exit the country via a different land border or airport.

I'm planning to travel with my friend so we'd be a group of 2. I know that to enter Tibet from Nepal you need a Tibet Group Visa which a tour operator can get for us from the embassy in Kathmandu, but I'm getting conflicting information as to whether the 2 of us could then use this visa to travel onwards into mainland China once our guided tour finishes in Lhasa.

I've looked at several tour operator websites and emailed a few of them, and I'm getting conflicting answers as to whether or not this is possible. Does anyone have any experience of this they'd be able to share, or any information to point to?

Hello everyone,

My name is Anton, and I’m a master’s student at Cracow University of Economics in Poland. I’m currently working on my thesis, which explores the impact of colonial patterns in the societies of China, Japan, and Russia. A significant part of my research focuses on the ongoing effects of Chinese colonialism, and I believe that the Tibetan perspective is crucial to truly understanding these impacts.

The experiences and insights of the Tibetan community are invaluable in shedding light on how these colonial practices have shaped identities, cultures, and social structures. Your participation in this survey would ensure that the Tibetan voice is not only heard but also central to my research.

The survey is completely anonymous and only takes a few minutes to complete. It’s available in multiple languages, including English, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to fill out the survey and share your unique perspective. Your contribution would make a significant difference in ensuring that this research accurately reflects the diverse experiences of those affected by colonialism.

Thank you so much for your time and support! 🙏
