” title=”Los Angeles Times”>Los Angeles Times</a></i> reports:</p> <blockquote> <p>The self-immolations have set off a cycle of martyrdom and protest, inspiring demonstrations from New Delhi to Taipei. Tibetan blogs have filled with poems to the dead. The Dalai Lama, who lives in Dharamsala, India, led a day of prayer and fasting Wednesday.</p> <p>(skip)</p> <p>Tibet analysts say China’s heavy hand is unlikely to stop the wave of immolations.</p> <p>“There is a copycat dimension to this,” said Dibyesh Anand, a Tibet expert at the University of Westminster in London. “‘If I immolate myself, my friends are under pressure to do the same to show they are just as patriotic.’”</p> <p>The ritual suicides, he added, are a sign that young Tibetans are moving away from the Dalai Lama’s teachings about nonviolence.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is a major religion and geopolitical story. The <a href="http://www.dalailama.com/ <view-source:http://www.dalailama.com/>” title=”Dalai Lama”>Dalai Lama</a> is not only the head of Tibetan Buddhism but also is the exiled leader of Tibet. That monks dedicated to his teachings would defy it in protesting Chinese oppression demonstrates a disconnect in belief that could have political consequences. Hopefully those “consequences” will be good for Tibet and bad for China.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-1784890e elementor-share-buttons--view-icon printhide
