Dalai Lama says ‘Middle Way’ still best for Tibet

“So we can continue,” he said in a press conference at the
conclusion of the summit.

Tibet’s leadership-in-exile in India remains committed to “meaningful talk”
with the Chinese government in order to establish “meaningful autonomy”
for the Tibetan minority, he said.

The latest self-immolations by a pair of young Tibetan men occurred last week
in the prefecture of Aba in a rugged area of Sichuan province, overseas
Tibetan rights groups said.

China has imposed tight security to contain simmering discontent in Tibetan
regions since 2008, when deadly rioting against Chinese rule broke out in
Tibet’s capital Lhasa and spread to neighbouring Tibetan-inhabited regions.

Many Tibetans in China complain of religious repression and a gradual erosion
of their culture blamed on a growing influx of majority Han Chinese to their
homeland.

China denies any repression and says it has improved the lives of Tibetans
with investment in infrastructure, schools and housing and by spurring
economic growth.

Twelve Nobel laureates including South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu have
urged China’s president to resume talks with the Dalai Lama, but the
Buddhist monk said that up until now, negotiations had not been productive.

“Sometimes I describe totalitarian regimes as no ear, only mouth,”
he told the summit with a laugh.

The Chinese officials “lecture us, never really listen” and are
angry that “I am not acting like ‘yes minister’,” he said.

“Our approach failed to bring some concrete or positive result from the
government, but the Chinese public, or Chinese intellectuals, or students
who study in foreign countries – they are beginning to know the reality,”
he said.

“That, I think, is a positive side, a significant result.”

The Dalai Lama also expressed the need for patience in the decades-long
struggle.

“Sometimes people have the impression (this is) some crisis very recently
happened,” he said.

“I meet some Chinese. They are frustrated. Very hostile. Then I tell them
long stories … 60 years of stories. Then they understand, oh – the Tibetan
issue is really a very, very complicated issue.”
