The 2008 Olympic Games are long over. Though the media spotlight has moved on, tension between Tibet and China remains. And today, it got worse.

Breaking news
March 10, 2009, marks the 50th anniversary of the Dalai Lama’s uprising and revolt. The Dalai Lama escaped to India on March 17, 1959 – so as you can imagine, this is an important month for Tibetan Buddhists in exile. Last week, a monk set himself on fire to protest China’s rule. And this week, monks in Sichuan province in China staged a rally. As a result, the monastery is currently being surrounded by Chinese security forces, according to BuddhistChannel.tv. The monastery is on lockdown.
BuddhistChannel.tv reports that “the Dalai Lama has accused Chinese authorities of trying to provoke Tibetans into demonstrating to justify a huge crackdown.”
Similar protests and crackdowns happened at this time last year. Of course, it is difficult to get accurate information from Chinese media. Stay tuned to www.BuddhistChannel.tv for the most updated information on this situation.
