His Holiness’Political Retirement - What Now for Tibet? By C. Couffinhal, M. Marek, H. Zimmerman and D. Creg Since the 17th Century, the Ganden Phodrang the system of Dalai Lamas- the Tibetan supreme authorities, have combined the nations temporal and spiritual powers. After escaping from Tibet in 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama, who was followed by most members of his government and 80,000 Tibetans, decided to reconstitute a government in exile whose mission is both to support Tibetan refugees and “restore freedom “in Tibet. He founded a government in exile, modeled on the Tibetan mode.Although the current Tibetan Government in exile is based on a democratic system, this political practice is still a novelty for most Tibetans in exile who have only a vague idea of what it democracy means Once in exile, the Dalai Lama immediately held a number of reforms that continue even today. In 1963, he promulgated a democratic constitution for Tibet and set up the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) in Dharamsala, India. Known as the Tibetan government in exile, this administration continues the political struggle of the Tibetan people for independence of their country. This constitution was again reformed and strengthened in 1991 through the Charter of Tibetans in exile, before entitlement to a new development in 2001. Further advances were made in 2001 when the position of Prime Minister (Kalon Tripa) was
elected by universal suffrage. Professor Samdhong Rinpoche ran unchallenged in both the 2001 and 2006 elections cycles. Currently, 79,111 Tibetans have registered to vote in the preliminary round in October and 3300 voters have been registered since last October. More than 82,000 Tibetans were called to vote with the majority residing in India, Nepal and Bhutan. The rest of the community lives in the northern states of America, in countries throughout Western Europe, Australia and various other countries. The last 20th March, Tibetan people elected their new Prime Minister. The announcement of His Holiness retirement only 10 days before the prime minister elections was not a coincidence. One explanation for this choice of timing was to be sought in the general elections that were held on March 20, during which Tibetans elected their third prime minister. The event “marked the transition from a system in which one man concentrated power to a democratically elected government” said an Indian newspaper. Over the past few months the Middle East has been embroiled in turmoil, while citizens from Tunisia to Yemen have risked their lives to regain their freedom from powerful autocratic dictators. At the same time, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who has served as both the spiritual and political leader of Tibet, has been striving to devolve his political power. “No system of governance can ensure stability and progress if it depends solely on one person without the support and participation of the people in the political process. Surprisingly, the process has not
been as straight-forward as one might expect. Many Tibetans, from politicians to civilians, have been hesitant in accepting His Holiness’s political resignation. Considered one of the most popular and successful leaders of the 21st century, Tibetans have been reluctant to let their luminary step down. For the past 59 years His Holiness has unrelentingly led his people into the future; Tibetans regard their leader with an unparalleled level of reverence and respect, not only for what he represents or who he is, but for what he has done for them. “Given that the line of the Dalai Lamas has provided political leadership for nearly four centuries, it might be difficult for Tibetans generally and especially those in Tibet to envisage and accept a political system that is not led by the Dalai Lama”, recognizes His Holiness. “I want to acknowledge here that many of my fellow Tibetans, inside and outside Tibet, have earnestly requested me to continue to give political leadership at this critical time. My intention to devolve political authority derives neither from a wish to shirk responsibility nor because I am disheartened.” On the contrary, His Holiness intends to continue struggling for Tibetan freedom, out of a responsibility shared by all Tibetans. However, it is necessary to accept the leader’s mortality and secure the Tibetan struggle’s sustainability. It is extremely important that we ensure the continuity of our exile Tibetan administration and our struggle until the issue of Tibet has been successfully resolved.” His Holiness’s official letter of (continued on page 4)
Tensions in Kirti Monastery - Peace Monk March from Dharamsala to Delhi By Caroline Couffinhal In Dharamsala, hundreds of Kirti monastary monks began a long march for peace in support of Kirti monastary in Tibet. In defiance of the sweltering summer heat, the monks will walk approximately 500 miles in a week from Dharamsala to Delhi. On April 26, hundreds of monks and concerned
members of the public gathered at the main temple where His Holiness held a morning prayer service followed by the start of the March. Subsequet to the self immolation of a Kirti monastary monk, Phuntsok on March 16th, Chinese officials lockeddown of the Tibetan Buddhist monastery in southwestern China indefinitely.
With tensions high, clashes have continuously erupted between Chinese security forces and local Tibetans. According to TCHRD, there have been several casualities thus far. The date also coincided with the third anniversary of the 2008 uprising and to protest the continued repression in Tibet. (continued on page 3)

(continued from page 1) The crackdown has been aimed primarily in Kirti monastery in Ngaba prefecture, Sichuan Province, Western China. The Chinese have inforced restrictions on the movement of monks who were forced into a rehabilitation policy and banned public celebrations in relation to the elections of Tibetan Government in Exile. On April 14th, confirmed reports that Chinese security forces locked off the monastery with additional contingents of security forces (an estimated 800) arriving on April 9 to strengthen the crackdown on Ngaba County was published. Movements of monks are fully regulated, with no one allowed to enter or leave the monastery. During the closure, the monks experienced food shortages and have become dependant on food donations made by residents through the monastery’s administration. However, authorities have banned Tibetans to offer food to monks. Since the beginning of April 2011, security forces, which previously surrounded the monastery, came to the campus.

According to the latest confirmed information received by the TCHRD (Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy), there is a high probability of extrajudicial killings in the Ngaba County. Since the beginning of April 2011, security forces, which previously surrounded the monastery, came to the campus. According to the latest confirmed information received by the TCHRD (Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy), there is a high probability of extrajudicial killings in the Ngaba County. On April 15th in India, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama made an appeal: “I’m very concerned that this situation could become explosive with catastrophic consequences for the Tibetans in Ngaba.” “In view of this I urge both the monks and the lay Tibetans of the area not to do anything that might be used as a pretext by the local authorities to massively crackdown on them.” According to the Association International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) in New York, security forces raided the monastery in the evening of April 21, taking over 300 monks. Then, the police

brutally beat a group of people who stood guard outside the monastery, killing two elderly Tibetans, according to ICT. On April 26th, Beijing accused monks of the monastery to have fomented trouble with “dirty” image of Buddhism and “hurt” the feelings of the faithful. After the Chinese government said last week that the situation was “normal” at Kirti monastery and rejected criticism from Washington concerning violations of religious freedom, China has acknowledged for the first time that there was an occurrence of disturbance in this region.

(continued from page 1) resignation was read to the parliament on March 14th, but denied on its initial attempt. “We represent the people and it was their wish for His Holiness to remain,” reasoned Sonam Damdul, member of the Tibetan parliament. Despite this, His Holiness stood firm and after reconsideration the proposal was accepted on March 25th. “It is time, we must obey his advice,” concluded Damdul. “Since I was young, I have been aware of an urgent need to modernize the Tibetan political system.” From 1959, when His Holiness entered exile, he has been labouring over the gradual transition of providing full democracy to the Tibetan people. This began with the introduction of various kalons (ministers) to oversee education, preservation of culture, and the rehabilitation and welfare of the community. Following these appointments, His Holiness has continued to create a platform for additional elected officials. This was done on the context that “Tibetans should take full responsibility for the administration and welfare of the people as if the Dalai Lama were not there.” In reality, Tibetans have always continued to view His Holiness as the crux of the administration. Of course, not everyone has been opposed to the resignation. While still

acknowledging the leader ’s insurmountable influence NGOs, such as the Tibetan Youth Congress, encouraged the Parliament’s acceptance. They justified that the move was in the “best interest of the Tibetan people in the long run,” as stated by Tsewang Rigzin, president of the TYC. The foremost concern on most Tibetans’ minds is what a future without His Holiness at the helm will hold. This is a justified concern as His Holiness has served as the international face of the Tibetan struggle for the past half century. From receiving unfaltering respect to the accumulation of influential contacts His Holiness has procured an invaluable platform for the Tibetan struggle to be waged upon. “What His Holiness brings to the table – there is no other Tibetan who can do it, we have to be realistic” said Rigzin. That said, the past fifty years in exile has provided the opportunity for innumerable new leaders to blossom. “Instead of begging His Holiness to lead us on, we must come forward and take up the challenge he is handing over to us, his children,” Tenzin Tsundue, a well-known Tibetan activist and writer, pointed out. How these changes will affect the face of the struggle is unclear, and whether it will shape a movement that continues to work towards autonomy or realigns itself towards independence

only time will tell. Regardless of what changes take shape, “every single Tibetan has to be ready for this,” cautions Rigzin. Naturally, the transition process will take time and careful consideration in order to become successful and seamless. The forward planning process will require sufficient thought and need to be assisted not only by community members but by experts, professionals and intellectuals. The first step of this process is adapting the constitution to accommodate a new hierarchy of power. That process will come to a head when the Parliament meets in the end of May. While it will not be an easy process, with a surplus of well-educated and ingenious fresh minds ready to face the challenges of the 21st century the Tibetans are sure to be in good hands. By M. Marek and H. Zimmerman His Holiness, XIVth Dalai Lama, announced his decision to step down from his role as political leader of the Tibetan people, cause and struggle, sending tremors throughout the entire community. If seized upon in a correct manner, this could well manifest as a wondrous opportunity for the Tibetan people. As all political transitions however, if handled incorrectly, this could well hinder the Tibetan cause. The Kashag were nigh on unanimous in the disagreement with His Holiness’ decision when he first formally announced it. Their response was to trongly beseech His Holiness the Dalai Lama to continue to remain as both the spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people”, to which the His Holiness’ office responded “there is no change in His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s decision. It has long been the case that His Holiness held the position of spiritual and political leader simultaneously, giving him a position of utmost authority and decision making pertaining to a wide range of issues concerning religion, politics, and society. The ‘buck’ stops at his door on the vast majority of issues. Any unresolved issues would be referred to His Holiness for what would be his final, irrefutable resolve. That this will no longer be the case in the coming years – that His Holiness will not be omnipresent in holding the mandate to the final say in the new forthcoming model – must make May 2011
for a daunting, and most frightening of concepts for bodies within the Tibetan framework. They have, to date, enjoyed this most comforting of blankets under which to wrap themselves in times, knowing that if resolve is not established, there is another solution. There is then the fear that without His Holiness heading political movement, fought out in government offices. The vehement interest with which the Tibetans have embraced the transition towards democracy and the ever increasing and active participation in elections - proof of which lies in the participation rates for this year’s elections - would tend to suggest that this is unlikely. One cannot wholly allay this fear as fallacy however, but steps can, and should be taken, so as to limit this. The new political leadership should strive to remain transparent and maintain an active and close rapport with the people they serve. Keeping Tibetan people informed of developments is an incredibly powerful tool with which to maintain interest in the struggle. That people are interested in the future of their lives, of their children, and of future generations is a given. Thus, delivering information, that is relevant, but more importantly close and true to their desires should keep the

popular movement mobile. The new political leadership should warmly embrace and work with this manifestation of a wondrous opportunity to strive for political harmony for the peoples in their entirety. Most important, in seeking to maintain, or indeed increase active interest in the struggle, is to invoke interest from the youth. The March 2008 uprising in Tibet, was fronted by a large number of youths. Tenzin Norgay, from the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), remarked, “It was predominantly the youth [out there protesting]. The youth have an enormous sense of reverence and spirituality, even within Tibet, which is interesting considering they have no direct link to His Holiness. This is a major asset of the movement for us”. That the youth - with little to no link to His Holiness, nor the political structures of the Government in Exile - are vehemently fighting for the cause, should give ample inspiration to everyone involved with the cause. The youth shall in time be assuming the struggle for themselves. Karma Yeshi, Member of the Tibetan Parliament, and Editor of the Voice of Tibet Radio Station, emphasised this. “It is now high time for the youth to take
the burden on their own shoulders, and not rely on H.H. the Dalai Lama, but work with his blessings, whilst he is still with us, to try and fulfil his wishes”. His Holiness’ decision, though epically thought provoking and sensitive to the Tibetan people, should have come as little to no surprise. He had been hinting at, and suggesting that he would cede power from as early as 1969, saying that he would like it “to be for the people to decide as to what form of government they have. The system of governance by the line of the Dalai Lamas may or may not be there”. This stance had been reiterated several times since and was explicitly expressed in his teaching of 19th March 2011, “As I am 14th in line of that institution [of Dalai Lamas], it is most appropriate if I, on own initiative, happily and with pride, end the dual authority of the Dalai Lama. Nobody except me can make this decision and I have made the final decision”. In what was a historic speech, he went on to talk of how he envisioned matters progressing thus, saying “The leadership democratically elected by the Tibetan people should take over the complete responsibilities of Tibet”. In continuing to justify his decision, whilst simultaneously (continued on page 6)

(continued from page 5) promoting the benefits of democracy, His Holiness, remarking on his role within the present set up, said “No system of governance can ensure stability and progress if it depends solely on one person without the support and participation of the people in the political process. One man rule is both anachronistic and undesirable. We have made great efforts to strengthen our democratic institutions, not out of a wish to copy others, but because democracy is the most representative system of governance”. It is fair to say that His Holiness has been promoting the benefits of democracy and democratization of the Tibetan structure for quite some time, with traces of the first steps towards democracy to be found from as early as 1960, when the first Commission of Tibetan People’s Deputies was elected. His Holiness has been working towards a general and smooth transition to democracy for over 50 years, with the Kalon Tripa, being democratically elected since 2001. Tibetans are undoubtedly empowering themselves and becoming accustomed to the fact that through casting their vote, then can partake in shaping their own futures. Karma Yeshi remarked upon this, saying “you have to look at why he is doing this now. He is not running away, but rather preparing the Tibetan people”. He will eventually not be with us, without him, it [the struggle] would collapse”. So, His Holiness’ decision to cede power would appear somewhat pragmatic, progressive and well thought out, taking into account integral factors; the fact that he has been introducing democracy to the Tibetan people for so long and his preparation of the Tibetan people for an era where he is no longer present. Karma Yeshi, perfectly summed this up; “when the iron is hot, you must hammer. We have now had 15 years of democracy, so now is a great time”. His Holiness’ efforts are centred around the discourse of promoting the democratic process, and establishing a future comprising a democratically elected leadership. This priortization of democracy will surely gain postitive momentum with the international community, who, perhaps with the right stance and rhetoric, can play a significant and active part in supporting the Tibetan cause.

The fact that His Holiness shall not be with us for all of eternity is a given, but also somewhat of a taboo subject within realistic discourse pertaining to the future of the Tibetan governance. Although people with an interest in the Tibetan cause recognize this fact, it is seemingly apparent that there is a lack of discussion of a genuine contingent for His Holiness’ inevitable passing. The devolution of power is His Holiness’ attempt to take the most pragmatic stance, in light of the reality of the Tibetan struggle. The Tibetan people have relied upon the buck stopping at the Dalai Lama’s Ganden Phodrang for over 350 years, and he is of the opinion that this should no longer be the case. Contextually, things were very different when the system of the Ganden Phodrang was formed in 1642 – for one, Tibet was not under the occupation of the People’s Republic of China. The Dalai Lama has taken the pre-emptive decision to look towards an era whereby he shall not be with us, progressively. After His Holiness’ passing there will be a period of 15-20 years, during which the new Dalai Lama shall be sought, and eventually found. The new Dalai Lama will then only be a young child, with an inability to enter into anything resembling constructive political diplomacy. This will then leave a highly volatile and dangerous vacuum, within which a great deal - for good, or otherwise – can happen. The decision to promote a consistent transition, can only be considered a good thing, not least comparative to the alternative – a dangerous situation, depicted by little structure, a politically vacuous playground - within which anyone of several positive, or indeed negative spheres of influence may flourish. There could exist a post Dalai-Lama era, littered with opposing factions. Included within these opposing factions, could be the much feared violent strive for independence; likely resulting in retaliatory violence from the Chinese authorities. If violence may replace the non-violent struggle that His Holiness so strongly advocates, the Chinese authorities may look to act upon that too. This would lend itself to a situation which must be averted at all costs, and His Holiness should be gratuitously thanked for attempting to do so at this time. His Holiness Copyright the Dalai :Kiran LamaAujlay has, from as long ago as the early 1970s, 6
generated a political discourse advocating the Middle Way Approach. Instead of striving for independence and sovereignty, the Tibetan struggle should strive to work for a genuine autonomy, within the confines of the constitution of the People’s Republic of China. The Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People, is a 19 page document outlining the demands for autonomy for Tibet, and how it would work consistent to numerous articles of the Chinese constitution. It states that “to a very considerable extent Tibetan needs can be met within the constitutional principles on autonomy [of the People’s Republic of China]”. It also cites the Chinese Law on Regional Autonomy, which also presented that everything the Tibetan people are seeking can be provisioned and accommodated for within the framework of the prevalent Chinese legislation and discourse. The Chinese authorities, in response to the document, dismissed these requests for autonomy, branding them as “Tibet independence”, “half independence” and “covert independence”. Furthermore, they rendered the Dalai Lama’s part as “containing a disguised ambition”. The fact that the Chinese authorities consistently make blanket and stark rejections at attempts to conduct diplomacy tends to a very tricky negotiating table. Covert, disguised, or otherwise, if the request made on part of the Tibetan people can work consistent to, and within the framework of the Chinese constitution and laws, does this not carry any weight? Tenzin Norgay, from TCHRD, said of this Chinese stance “if the Chinese don’t even respect their own constitution, who else will? It is part of their responsibility as a sovereign nation to uphold their own constitution”. The Chinese authorities have branded this entire event as “tricks”. In reaction to the formal decision by His Holiness to retire and devolve his political power, Chinese authorities were quick to dismiss the move as “a trick to deceive the international community”. Qianba Puncog, Chairmar of TAR, was quoted as saying that the Dalai Lama “was putting up a political show to mold public opinion”, a stark dismissal of the move and an inward and defensive stance, looking to pull down, rather than build bridges with any incoming Tibetan administration. Qianba Puncog went on May 2011
to say, of His Holiness’ resigning speech, “it is to declare publicly that he will not give up his attempt to sabotage unity and split China using any methods”. To give such a counterproductive response begs the question as to what China’s motives in this entire stalemate are? Are they simply looking to dismiss anything, by any means? At which point will China give anything even resembling a concession? Take for example Zhu Weiqun, a PRC politician’s statement as to what the Dalai Lama can do to foster better relations with the Chinese authorities; “what he can do” Weiqun intimates, “includes giving up the separatist position, stop separatist activities, openly recognise Tibet as part of China, openly recognise Taiwan as part of China, and recognise that The People’s Republic of China is the only legal government representing China”. So for five, enormous concessions, what can the Tibetans expect in return? “On such basis, we will continue to conduct contacts and talks with him”. In response to a question pertaining to the ‘post-Dalai Lama era’, Zhu Weiqun said the Chinese authorities “sincerely wish he could correct his mistakes and move closer to the PRC to achieve something before his death to benefit the nation, as well as the people, rather than leaving a legacy of a debased and infamous title forever”. So yet again, instead of looking to seize the opportunity and make attempts to forge closer links to the Tibetans, the Chinese authorities seem intent upon remaining consistent to their adoption of a horrifically defiant and aggressive approach. However, Tenzin Norgay, from TCHRD, put a positive glance on this saying, “the Chinese make ridiculous demands of us. But the international community is aware of this fact, which helps. The issue of Taiwan, for example is none of Tibet’s business to decide or comment on”. So, even though the Chinese authorities do bring to the negotiating table so difficult demands, they may ultimately work in the Tibetan peoples’ favour. The Tibetan struggle is now at what might be construed as a railroad turntable, which the Tibetan peoples as a whole the controller, circumnavigating the direction the train may take. The opportunity thus exists to take the struggle in any one of several directions from here. The controller of this train, namely the Tibetan people, by way of popular vote, in having chosen their leadership that will ultimately direct political

discuss from here. They should remain aware of the fact that the mere existence of several tracks that could possibly and practically be pursued, lends itself to leafy territory, with the derailment of their cause a realistic possibility if the wrong approach to negotiations is adopted. If embraced in the correct manner, this railroad could be a fantastic opportunity to facilitate Chinese diplomacy and relations. The incoming Tibetan leadership, to be headed by Lobsang Sangay, the newly elected Kalon Tripa, now has evokes the possibility to come approach the negotiating table from a new angle. The Tibetan Government in exile can attempt to choose the track of negotiations whereby real progress can be made to enable swift and realistic talks toward the ultimate goal of a land for the Tibetan people to call their own. What is next to happen from here, is that a committee has been set up, tasked with working upon constructing a new preamble to the Charter. This will enable the necessary changes to be made so that His Holiness can formally and legally resign as the political leader of the Tibetan people. The draft changes have now gone to parliament, where they shall remain until 21st-23rd of
May, when a 3 day convening of the Tibetan National General Meeting shall be held. This will result in finalizing the drafts and adding the necessary annexure. An extra session of the 14 th Tibetan Parliament will be convened to solidify the recommendations of the General Meeting.

Mountain Cleaners have several new projects for 2011 Guna Temple is a very sacred place for the local Gaddi people and attracts a large amount of pilgrims. The entire area is strewn with litter and waste that is then collected and burned. Mountain Cleaners is setting up a weekly waste collection and trail clean up to restore this area to its natural beauty. Mountain Cleaners have been asked to research and build compost toilets at the campsite at Kareri. They are working with the Mountaineering Institute who use the campsite and are planning to build a composter and set up a waste management system. A road to the remote village has been under construction for several years and will be completed this year. This will attract large amounts of tourists and waste will become an even bigger problem, so now is the time to act! Volunteers are required for the 3 day hike to the Lake and opportunities are available to stay at Kareri village to help Mountain Cleaners set up and manage the programs and also work with the local school. In August and September, Mountain Cleaners is recruiting volunteers for the Manimahesh Yatra, a
Hindu pilgrimage in Chamba district where they will again be running a waste and recycling campaign combined with an education program at the schools in Bharmour. An education program is being prepared for Indian and Tibetan Schools. Dates are yet to be confirmed for the program, but volunteers interested in participating or helping to prepare the activities should contact us. Volunteers can come to help for a few hours to a year! There are also a number of opportunities available that don’t involve handling waste or hiking, so if you’d like to help out please get in touch. Mountain Cleaners relies on donations to continue their work, so please contact us if you are able to make a donation, no matter how small. Schedule for Mountain Cleaners Events Children’s Day - Last Sunday of every month (10am – 3pm) Fundraising Parties – Every other Thursday Hiking Trips Triund Every Monday - 9am start, return Tuesday 6pm Guna Temple - Every Saturday 9am – 6pm Kareri Village and Lake - 3 day hike with opportunity to volunteer at the village and campsite For more information please go to www.mountaincleaners.org
