Free Tibet

Mate, that was an analogy. The analogy is: the Dalai Lama is to Tibetan Buddhists as the Pope is to Roman Catholics.

The Pope is not only spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Church, he is also the head of state of the Vatican City, which is recognised as a state. Similarly, the Dalai Lama is not only the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhists, he is also the head of state of Tibet.

The difference is that the Pope is a successor to the Seat of St. Peter but not the the re-incarnation of St. Peter nor of Jesus Christ. The Tibetan Buddhists believe that the Dalai Lama is not only the successor of the original Dalai Lama but also the reincarnation of that original Dalai Lama (not Buddha as stated in one of the above posts).

Whether the Dalai Lama or Tibetan Buddhists 'believe' in Jesus Christ or not is their own personal belief, but no where is it stated in their canons that they should 'worship' Jesus Christ. It is in the same way that Muslims revere Jesus Christ as a prophet but not as a God.

Antagal na nitong Tibetan suppression by China...

The real Dalai Lama has already escaped to Nepal while China has installed their own Dalai Lama.

Most Tibetans are working their way to escaping to Nepal where they can practice their religion freely.

yup tagal na yang suppression na yan.

this pales in comparison to the secret video that CNN took in Afghanistan where the Talebans rounded up suspected Afghans that were against the Talebans, brought them inside a football stadium, torture them, then shoot them upclose, men and women.
