Buddha's Not Smiling:
Uncovering Corruption at the Heart of Tibetan Buddhism Today
IIIIIIIII
Date: 02 March 2006
Buddha's Not Smiling is the anatomy
of a crisis. On August 2, 1993, Rumtek monastery was attacked. Its
monks were expelled and the cloister was given to a lama appointed
by the Chinese government. But Rumtek was not in China, and its
attackers were not Communist troops. Rumtek was in India, the refuge
for most exiled Tibetans. And it was Tibetan lamas themselves who
led the siege. Evidence shows that the Chinese Communists directly
supported Tibetan lamas and monks who attacked Rumtek monastery.
