Independence: the Right of the Tibetan people
by Chinese writer, Cao Chang-Ching
獨立：西藏人民的權利
曹長青
1994年
西 藏問題，一直是一個爭議的話題。不僅海峽兩岸的中國政府與西藏流亡政府對此問題持截然不同的觀點，海內外的中國人，對此看法也相當不同。這種種不同，主要 源於人們對西藏歷史與現實的瞭解程度和使用的“價值尺度”。因此，討論西藏問題，不僅有助於瞭解西藏的真正歷史和現實，更促使我們重新思考人的自由意志和 國土統一；人民選擇權利和國家形式；以及民族自決權等重要的價值概念和沖突。對這些價值採取什麼樣的取捨，直接影響中國人走向自由和民主的進程。 Read the rest of this article »
US President Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Dharamshala: US President Barack Obama has been chosen for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples”, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has announced today.
The committee highlighted Mr Obama’s efforts to strengthen international bodies and promote nuclear disarmament.
“Very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said in a citation.
“His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”
There were a record 205 nominations for this year’s prize. Zimbabwe’s prime minister and a Chinese dissident had been among the favourites.
The prize worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.4 million) will be presented to Mr Obama in Oslo on 10 December.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama Congratulates President Obama on Nobel Peace Prize
Saturday, 10 October 2009, 1:30 p.m.
In a communication sent today to the President, His Holiness, who is in Washington, D.C., said, “I am pleased that the Nobel Committee has recognized your approach towards resolving international conflicts through the wisdom and power of dialogue.”
His Holiness said: “The Committee has rightly noted your efforts towards a world without nuclear weapons and your constructive role in environmental protection. The 20th century was a century of bloodshed and all of us have the responsibility to make the 21st century, a century of dialogue and co-operation. There is thus the need for concerted efforts from all sides in this highly interdependent world to promote and adopt a more compassionate approach.”
“I have maintained that the founding fathers of the United States have made this country the greatest democracy and a champion of freedom and liberty. It is, therefore, important for today’s American leaders to adopt principled leadership based on these high ideals. Such an approach will not only enhance the reputation of the USA, but also contribute tremendously in reducing tension in the world,” His Holiness said.

MEMORANDUM ON GENUINE AUTONOMY FOR THE TIBETAN PEOPLE
I INTRODUCTION
Since the renewal of direct contact with the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 2002, extensive discussions have been held between the envoys of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and representatives of the Central Government. In these discussions we have put forth clearly the aspirations of Tibetans. The essence of the Middle Way Approach is to secure genuine autonomy for the Tibetan people within the scope of the Constitution of the PRC. This is of mutual benefit and based on the long-term interest of both the Tibetan and Chinese peoples. We remain firmly committed not to seek separation or independence. We are seeking a solution to the Tibetan problem through genuine autonomy, which is compatible with the principles on autonomy in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The protection and development of the unique Tibetan identity in all its aspects serves the larger interest of humanity in general and those of the Tibetan and Chinese people in particular.

Kalon Tripa Professor Samdhong Rinpoche’s Keynote Address
on Round Table Discussion on “Greater Tibet”
in New Delhi, 27 August 2009
Introduction
Since 1979, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has adopted the Middle-Way Approach of not seeking separation but for Tibet to remain within the People’s Republic of China (PRC). His Holiness the Dalai Lama has repeatedly requested for the implementation of National Regional Autonomy provisions to the entire Tibetan nationality in order to preserve and promote Tibet’s cultural and spiritual heritage and identity.
Since 1951, during the negotiations for the 17-point agreement, the Tibetan side had asked for one autonomous administration for the entire Tibetan nationality. Since then, this aspiration of Tibetan people has remained consistent.
In 2002, after the restoration of direct contact between Dharamsala and Beijing, eight rounds of formal dialogue and one informal consultation were held between the envoys of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the concerned PRC officials. In the process, we have further clarified how the entire Tibetan nationality can be brought under one autonomous administration within the provisions of constitution and autonomy law and what are the advantages by doing this.
