The escalating issue of self-immolations in Tibet had led to a co-ordinated private meeting between President Xi and the Dalai Lama in June this year in Switzerland. Both parties have worked out some kind of agreement for the reason China is lifting the ban on Dalai Lama Photos at Tibetan Monastery to ease tension in the Tibetan region. The attributing factor for self-immolations which is of course the protest for freedom of Tibet and return of the Dalai Lama. During the meeting with President Xi, the Dalai Lama said he was seeking self-autonomy with Chinese rule for Tibet but his representative to China, the Dalai Lama's brother had misrepresented him to China for independence which caused the deadlock up to today.
During this private meeting the shift of the villain is from Dorje Shugden to the Dalai Lama's brother.
This is really moving to the right direction!!! I am really happy to read that the Dalai Lama has met up with President Xi for a meeting on Tibet. At least it is one step further in clearing some confusion on the Tibet/China state. Funny that how all these years of tension is caused by the miscommunication between the Dalai Lama's brother and the Chinese Govt.?? Or is this another story created to buy more time? And ya, Icy, the villain has now shifted to the brother.
Anyways, it is really good news that the Dalai Lama's pictures is allowed to be displayed in Gaden Monastery in Tibet. It is the largest monastery during it's hey days!! The Chinese government doesn't seem to be stubborn all this while, you can see now that they are giving more space for reconciliation between the two countries. No doubt that since the Chinese "invasion", China has brought lots of development into Tibet, improving public facilities and increasing the living standard of Tibetans. Furthermore, the Tibetan's are allowed to practice their religion of their choice.
Let's hope that the Tibetans living in exile will be able to live and practice freely soon with this step to the right direction.
