The suppression and distortion of Tibet’s ancient religious traditions has long been a key objective for the Chinese regime, in its program of cultural genocide and elimination of Tibetan cultural identity. Through draconian restrictions, and relentless propaganda (with severe penalties for non-compliance) China is warping Tibetan Buddhism into a perverse chimera. Elevating the ‘glory’ of Dictator Xi Jinping, and so-called ‘achievements’ of China’s communist ideology and government, above the enlightened teachings of Buddha.

Last week in Shigatse region of U-Tsang region of occupied Tibet and exhibition went on display that had as a theme; “Promoting the Chineseization (sic) of Tibetan Buddhism”. The various items featured, including paintings, were demanded of local Tibetan monasteries from the charmingly named ‘Temple Management Committee’. Their content had, by dictate, to show: “…the unity, harmony and upward spirit of the religious community… fully expressing love for the Party, love for the motherland, and actively promoting the Chineseization (sic) of Tibetan Buddhism’s firm confidence and determination.”.
