Growing up, the most familiar sound in our house was the Dalai Lama's voice playing on a tape recorder in my Dad's study. His Holiness & Buddhist teachings were the light that helped my father navigate the most difficult times. And now the same is true for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt4g...

Belgian newspaper @demorgen.be picked up the story on colonial boardingschools in #Tibet. They published a 4-page piece in their weekend edition. ✊️

China is separating Tibetan children from their families and placing them in boarding schools for assimilation and heavy political indoctrination. Many Tibetans fear a whole generation of children will lose their culture, religion and language. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Reuters article reveals several of China’s dams in Tibet have been damaged from the recent earthquake. The damming of rivers in a seismically active country like Tibet poses great risks, which China often downplays.

“Around three-quarters of Tibetan students age 6 and older - and others even younger - are in residential schools that teach largely in Mandarin, replacing the Tibetan language, culture and Buddhist beliefs that the children once absorbed at home.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

China's "placing children in boarding schools in a drive to assimilate a generation of Tibetans into the national mainstream and mold them into citizens loyal to the Communist Party... Parents do not see their children for long stretches." By Chris Buckley for NYTimes:

As Phuntsok Norbu, chairman of the Tibetan Community in Britain, explains, the Silk Roads exhibition at #BritishMuseum exemplifies “the museum’s role in shaping global understanding of a culture that is actively being suppressed.” inkstickmedia.com/whats-in-a-n...

What are some similarities between traditional Tibetan and Chilean foodstuffs? I wrote an article about it. Link below. #Tibet #food #tsampa #barley #Chile #cocho #ulpo #chupilca #wheat #comida #harina #vino #wine #foodstaple #cooking davidpmolina.com/2024/11/26/t...

It's TIBET.

Great reporting. Excruciating reading. #China govt family separations, forced assimilation, persecution, physical & psychological abuse of #Tibetan children are *crimes.* Yet it's #humanrights defenders like #TashiWangchuk who are jailed for calling it out. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thank you, @sophiebeach.bsky.social, for all you do to bring attention and deeper understanding to the suffering and courageous resistance in Tibet, China and all lands occupied and controlled by the Chinese govt. 🙏🏽

I learned so much about Tibetan boarding schools and the ways they are used to remove the children from their culture and communities from my interview with Lhadon Tethong in 2023: chinadigitaltimes.net/2023/10/inte...

Great reporting on an important topic that the Chinese government is doing their best to hide from the world www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NYTimes met en lumière le rôle des pensionnats coloniaux dans la transformation des enfants tibétains, au cœur d’une stratégie chinoise visant à assimiler les tibétains Selon Tibet Action Institute, autour 800000 enfants, soit près de 3/4 âgés de 6 à 18 ans, sont dans ces pensionnats tiny.cc/edm5001

Our original research alerted the world to this sinister Chinese government policy and now so many more people know about this terrible injustice. We are making progress. Please keep sharing, especially with your elected representatives. tibetaction.net/campaigns/co...

Yesterday (Sunday's) print edition of @nytimes.com had their Colonial Boarding Schools in #Tibet exposé on the front page! The piece featured on a 2 page spread, giving incredible exposure to this important issue. @lhadon.bsky.social

“Different time, different place, different government, but same impact, in the sense of breaking cultural and familial bonds and roots, and psychologically damaging and traumatizing kids at their foundation.” @lhadon.bsky.social Read this @nytimes.com exposé: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Must-read: chilling @nytimes.com reporting corroborating and expanding on @tibetaction.bsky.social documentation of widespread, systematic abuses of #Tibetan children. The damage is intentional—and generational. Indep into investigation crucial - #UN #OHCHR #HRC! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The earthquake in Tibet is a nightmare on top of a nightmare. The majority of Tibetan school-age children have been separated from their families and made to live in state-run boarding schools. This includes 4 & 5-years olds whose parents have no choice but to send them to boarding preschools.

Hard to see any neutrality here—if this gathering goes ahead with the Chinese government’s fake Panchen Lama (having forcibly disappeared the real one as a child in 1995) it’s just capitulation. nepalaaja.com/2024/12/2024...
