It’s difficult to grasp the degree of terror, suffering and oppression which Tibetans have endured since China invaded Tibet in 1950. The instances of torture, loss and personal tragedy are of a magnitude that can be found in descriptions of genocide or prolonged war. there have been countless examples of Tibetans who when faced with China’s vicious tyranny have bravely resisted, sacrificed their lives to demand Tibet’s national freedom and to protest against the persecution and erosion of Tibetan Buddhism. All such accounts are deeply moving, demand answers of governments and the United Nations who have offered self-serving platitudes while appeasing the Chinese regime.
A report just released today, via Radio Free Asia, documents another such case, this time a Tibetan nun, named as Rinzin Dolma, who lived at the Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, in Serthar County, Kham region of eastern Tibet who hung herself in protest at the forced demolition of Tibet’s largest Buddhist center by the Chinese regime
“Rinzin Dolma, a nun of Larung gar Buddhist center hanged herself to death when Chinese began demolition at the center on July 20, 2016.” according to RFA’s Facebook page.
The global religious and political community has remained virtually silent as this major seat of Buddhist learning is bulldozed into oblivion by the Chinese paramilitary, a silence that speaks volumes of their merciless in difference to the plight of Tibet and its culture!
