The Tibetan monks from the Gaden Shartse Monastary are touring the US. I saw them today in Encinitas at the E Street Cafe. They made a sand mandala and the llama gave a talk.
The Chinese destroyed the Gaden Shartse monastary in Tibet in 1959 and killed thousands of the monks. A few escaped, survived, and rebuilt in exile in southern India.
The Tibetans refuse to fight the Chinese. They believe fighting back is like pouring gasoline on a fire. Each war contains the seeds of the next war. Each person is the cause of everything that happens to him.
