Dalai Lama Award Prompts Tibet Clashes

BEIJING (AP) - Police in the capital of Tibet clashed for four days with Buddhist monks trying to celebrate the awarding of a congressional honor for the Dalai Lama, a Hong Kong newspaper reported Sunday.
The awarding of Congress' highest civilian honor - personally bestowed on the exiled spiritual leader by President Bush on Wednesday - had already caused China to warn that Washington had "gravely undermined" relations.
The Ming Pao newspaper said hundreds of monks at the Zhaibung monastery in Lhasa had clashed with police.
It said that after the clash, the monastery was surrounded by 3,000 armed police who refused to allow more than 1,000 monks leave. It gave no other details and did not say if there were any injuries.
A call to the monastery was not answered Sunday.
Women who answered the phones at the Lhasa city government and police offices, who would not give their names, said they had not heard of any violence.
The Dalai Lama is lauded in much of the world as a figure of moral authority, but China reviles him as a Tibetan separatist.
The decision by Washington to honor the Dalai Lama is a setback to Beijing's efforts to lend legitimacy to its often harsh rule over Tibet and undermine support for the spiritual leader, who remains popular among Tibetans since fleeing into exile 48 years ago after a failed uprising.

美国政府太损了,专干落井下石的勾当。
也是“天作孽,犹可违,自作孽,活不长”。
这种看见别人过好日子自己就难受的小伎俩在中国的政治传统中根本就是小菜一碟。 - Re: Dalai Lama Award Prompts Tibet Clashesposted on 10/22/2007

前面xw哥都谈到lama的个人修养问题,这个我承认,不谈了。
单就lama来看,我觉得他太没有战略眼光,也没有骨气。
联合国的奖你可以拿,美国的一个国家奖你那它做什么,这么没骨气的事儿lama干,换了我我都不干。
美国不愿意看见中国安定,就搞事儿,lama就愿意钻美国的圈套。现在连一点儿同情他的心都没有了。分裂国家者,死。 - posted on 10/22/2007

联合国不过是大国俱乐部的游戏厅,联合国奖其实也是一般一般的
