Forced assimilation of #Tibetan population into #Chinese culture.

They take them very young from their families and put them into faraway schools where only Chinese is spoken.

An ongoing #ethnocide that very few care about or do anything about.

#PhotoOfTheDay: A Proliferation of Lakes on the #Tibetan #Plateau

While lakes in many parts of the world have lost water over the past three decades, the number and size of lakes in this part of the “roof of the world” have risen sharply.

Satellites have documented lakes on the “roof of the world” becoming larger and more numerous over the past three decades.

I have stronger connections with the small #Uyghur, #Tibetan and #Palestinian diasporas in Japan than than I do with fellow Americans...

Stop China's indoctrination of Tibetan children!

"…children #China is forcing into boarding schools in #Tibet, where they face abuse and #indoctrination until they no longer speak the same language as their parents.

…months without seeing their parents, who say they’re simply not allowed to visit…#Tibetan children are only taught Mandarin and the love of the #ChineseCommunistParty, until their culture and religion is erased.

…China is trying to cover it up…"

#PhotoOfTheDay: On Top of the World: Everest and Makalu

ISS crewmembers recently took advantage of their vantage point to photograph a series of oblique views of the Himalayas looking south from over the #Tibetan #Plateau.

The full mosaic covers over 130 kilometers (80 miles) of the Himalayan front, and could never be seen this way from an airplane.

It's one of those years where #Tibetan #Losar is not the same day as #China, #Vietnam and other #LunarNewYear.

Which means I don't have to keep correcting people that Tibet has a different calendar than China

I love all of the Nawang Khechog albums. I keep returning to this one whenever I'm doing 45 mins of aerobic workout at the gym. It coincidently ends with Peace through Kindness, another of my all-time favorites.

Given the cultural significance of #Tibetan #Dharma and language, it's essential to prioritize accuracy and authenticity in translations. Unfortunately, some models like #deepseek are prone to perpetuating biases that can compromise the integrity of these translations. Therefore, it's crucial to rely on more reliable sources that respect the richness and depth of Tibetan culture.
