| Dalai Lama's former "Vatican," Potala, Lhasa |
Today on NPR's BBC Newshour (via scpr.org, 1:00-2:00 pm, Los Angeles and available as a podcast) news came down from McLeod Ganj, India, about whether or not most Tibetans today will ever get to Chinese-occupied Tibet. Moreover, will the former temporal and current spiritual leader, the 14th Dalai Lama, get to so much as visit before he passes away?

It is doubtful he will have the opportunity if China has anything to say about it. But what if the USA and CIA help him? They "helped" him into his current mess as it is when he was hired as a CIA operative (not an agent, just another asset) in the USA's secret and ongoing war on communism and the Chinese empire. What then will be the Dalai Lama's legacy for today's Tibetans?

He will ask them to continue to struggle against China, while himself trying to accommodate and compromise. If China will have none of it, the ruling lama of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" sect of Vajaryana Buddhism will have no choice but to continue policies that seem to have failed over the past 50 years. Have they failed? They succeeded in maintaining the status quo, but they do seem to have failed in gaining a reproachment or a path toward peace and repatriation for thousands of Tibetans living as guests in India's Himalayas and cities.
