    “Two revolutions and Tibetan resilience”                                                                                                             -Som                               (Culture revolution and Tibetan peace revolution 2008) My grandmother's untold story of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet was shocking, extreme, and unbearable. She narrated her tragic story with tears in her eyes and a pale facial expression. She had experienced a real hell on earth and never saw any ray of hope in her future life at that time. The revolution was generally considered to have begun in China around 1966 by Mao Zedong. However, the faint climate of the Cultural Revolution existed since 1959 when the People's Republic of China completely occupied Tibet and carried out a series of repressions and violent destructions in Tibet. During the ten-year Cultural Revolution in Tibet from 1966 to 1976, in the name of removing four old obstacles, “old thinking, old culture, old tradition

“I am the real victim from recent incident”

 

“I am the real victim from recent incident” 

                                                                       (His Holiness the Dalai Lama and young boy) 


 “None of the Tibetans can forgive when it comes to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.”


 
I am the real victim, all Tibetans are the victims, all the Buddhist are the victims, and all the truth and peace supporters of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his followers are the real victims. Because there is no doubt about His Holiness the Dalai lama’s deep love and pure intention toward the child, that we can easily read from the full event video context itself. And of-course a young boy is seen speaking mirthfully to the media about his interaction with His Holiness. He was privileged and pleased to meet him and get blessed from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, his mother and families are also happy, blessed and have no complaints. 


But this true footage is not taken into consideration by media agencies and social media influencers. We are badly hurt, we are having sleepless nights and condemn being spreading falsified information and tailored clips into the ocean of social media. They must be having certain aims and objectives behind this poisoning interpretation on this clip, indeed. 

 It is important to know that if you want to respect your culture and your trusted one and only God like Vishnu for all Hindu, Father in Christian and Allah for Muslim. Then you should learn how to respect other cultures and God as well. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the living God for all Buddhist around the world, especially the people of many Asian countries linked with the great Himalayan range. 


We are the real victims of this fake propagation from the media, and all kinds of media should be aware in future not to spread such kinds of fake and tailored clips, which insults the culture and tradition of other people. Without carefully investigating and critically analyzing the underlying motives, agenda and broader context that might permeate our understanding and response. 

Personally, it saddens me profoundly by the recent media coverage of a tailored video clip of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama with a young boy who sought affection from His Holiness during a public event on 28th February 2023. In fact, this allegation comes after a month with certain purposes, maybe. Which also violated the rights and dignity of the child and his family, since they were happy and blessed at the contrast of what the media deliberately edited with negative intentions and baseless, which also might be a cause of negative influence to the minds of innocents and population at large. 


His Holiness has worked exclusively and tirelessly for the welfare and benefit of others in his entire life. At 87 years old, as the longest and most sincere serving in practical and peace leader of our time, and as a Nobel Peace Laureate, Congressional Gold Medal, His Holiness has demonstrated remarkable commitment to promoting universal responsibility, inter-faith and inter-personal harmony, peace, and friendship, non-violence and wisdom. His Holiness has been an icon of compassion and has made an unparalleled positive impact throughout the world with his kindness and pure morality, promoting a sense of the oneness of humanity.


This incident highlights a danger in our society by promoting wrong intelligence. I share the feelings of all those who have been affected by the recent allegations, which are baseless. The truth will prevail, and His Holiness will continue to be a beacon of hope and peace in the word. Long live His Holiness the Dalai Lama, long live peace and truth.
