The Facts of Tibet and the Dalai Lama

A Pamphlet for Better Understanding

Historic Background of Tibet and Its Status within China

1.    In theTang Dynasty, the princess Wencheng (Tibetan Mung-chang Kung-co) married the king of Tibet, Songtsän Gampo (604-650 AD) in 641 AD.
2.    In 1206, Genghis Khan included Tibet in his empire. In the mid-1600's, the Mongols allowed the Dalai Lama (meaning “a monk filled with wisdom”) to have political power within Tibet. This was done after he was named the head of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism in the 15th century. Ever since then, Tibet has been incorporated into the territory of China’s feudal dynasties, the Ming and the Qing.
3.    From 1911-1950, China’s control of the Tibet region was loosened but not lost due to the civil war and anti-Japanese invasion war (World War II). The government, Republic of China (1911-1949), never gave up the territory of Tibet and never recognized Tibet as an independent region.
4.    In 1950 the 14th Dalai Lama appointed Nga-Bou Nga-Wang Jig-Me as the leader of a delegation to Beijing to negotiate with the new Chinese government and made The Seventeen Point Agreement (wikipedia: Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet) which was the same as what happened in history since the time of Genghis Khan established Yuan Dynasty. Thus, Tibet was peaceful liberated in 1951.

Pre-1959 Tibet-Serfdom
Historically the period when Dalai Lamas ruled Tibet before 1959-reforms, has been deemed a Lamaist (Buddhist) theocracy, accompanying serfdom. Comparably, in the modern world, the Taliban state in Afghanistan (1996-2001) was also theocratic governance.
Specifically the majority of the rural population was serfs in 1953. Tied to the land, they were allotted only a small parcel to grow their own food. Serfs and other peasants were illiterate and generally went without schooling or medical care. They spent most of their time laboring for the monasteries and individual high-ranking lamas, or for a secular aristocracy that numbered not more than 200 families.
In effect, they were owned by their masters who told them what crops to grow and what animals to raise. They could not get married without the consent of their lord or lama. A serf might easily be separated from his family should the owner send him to work in a distant location. Serfs could be sold by their masters, or subjected to torture and death.

Tibet after 1959
In 1951, when China regained effective control of Tibet and thereafter in 1959, reforms were taken to free Tibetan serfs
(Note for comparison: in the same year, Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, making it the 50th state of USA. After statehood, Hawaii quickly became a modern state with a construction boom and rapidly growing economy. In recent decades, the state government has implemented programs to promote Hawaiian culture.).
This liberation of serfs in Tibet was the same movement as the American Civil War (1861-1864) to end the slavery in the United States under the Lincoln presidency. Tibet, as part of China, is equally treated as the rest provinces, the same way as US federal government treat California, Texas and Hawaii equally to New England 13 states and all the rest states.
