But still they revere him.
Dharamsala, the Indian home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government-in-exile, has been the epicentre of angry protests by exiled Tibetans after Chinese troops and police locked down Lhasa, Tibet's capital, to break up violent protests.
"The middle way has been in existence for 20 years and nothing has come out of it," Tsewang Rigzin, president of the Tibetan Youth Congress, told reporters in Dharamsala.
By night, hundreds of Tibetans here in Dharamsala have been holding candle-lit rallies in streets and monasteries.
The protesters call for a far sharper goal than the Dalai Lama has -- even as they reverently display his portrait draped in scarves. He calls for a truly autonomous Tibet within China, his so-called "middle way". They want complete independence.
The protest leaders say the Dalai Lama's stance had achieved nothing and disagreed with his statement on Sunday that China "deserved" the Olympics.
Yet they were careful to balance every criticism with affirmations of admiration for the 72-year-old Buddhist leader.

RatingChinese Premier Chou en Lai (Westerners called him Chew and Lie) was said to be “one of those men who never tell the truth and never tell a lie.” For them there is no distinction between the two. The speaker says what is appropriate to the circumstances. Zhou Enlai enforced India’s political and diplomatic surrender and then we failed to fight adequately on the military front. Communist China thus established its dominance over India. After Nixon and Kissinger made their devious opening to Mao and Zhou using Pakistan, American policy changed too, almost betraying Taiwan and certainly stamping American approval on the idea that between Communist China and India, China shall be seen as dominant.For recent Chinese Ambassadors to New Delhi to brazenly use today the same language as Zhou did half a century ago is not a good sign but an indication of Communist China’s wish not to have a relationship with modern India on the basis of sovereign equality. For them to say Tawang must be theirs because the monastery there was where the sixth Dalai Lama was born and the Dalai Lama is Chinese and not Indian, is to reveal an aggressive subconscious against us. We may next hear it said Buddha himself was Chinese since he was probably born in Nepal, as an excuse for further Communist encroachment.
dear respected sirs/madams,yes it is proceeding in the most correct and unreturning and completely fearless path towards their sweetest Independence of Tibet and their great citizens--every body on earth prays and wishes with their full heart for a safe and sound and non returnable Independence to Tibet---thanking you all--b.venkataramasastry
It's high time the ordinary tibetans must defy the soft approach of their religeous guru, if they want complete independance from the draconian and repressive rule of China and with more and more countries lending credence to their struggle, there couldn't be a better time than now with China answerable to the world about their human rights record before the olympics game. Also the Govt. of India should sieze upon this opportunity to put China into a corner and desist from casting their evil wye on Arunachal Pradesh.
His Holiness The Dalai Lama is much more Holy than any Prophets before. The faith and the spirit of his people are united as one with the ever powerful indomitable might of the Faith of the Dalai Lama. Communism is starting to crumple into dust and the rulers in Beijing must recognise the freedom and desire of the peoples of the Autonomous provinces of Guangxi Zhuang, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia Hui, Tibet, and Xinjiang Uyghur. The territories of all the subjugated regions looted by force and merged by the PLA with the adjoining provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Quinghai, Hebel… Inner Mongolia was deceitfully annexed by China in the 1940’s with the connivance and treachery of the beastly dictator Stalin: the atrocious plight of the Inner Mongolians have long forgotten by the media, rights organisations and by the leading western nations. The media should reveal the real China instead of the glitters of Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other major cities. China has border disputes with all its neighbours and this is a sign of China’s violent, thuggish, terrorizing behaviour heading to annex the territories of its neighbours.
The problem with Tibetian Issue is that they don't have a political leader fighting for freedom but a religious Guru who speaks soft. They should select a strong educated political leader who does not have any connection with religion and willing to fight communist ideology all his life. Then the world might awake for their help, but first they have to help themselves in fighing their freedom struggle, We as Indians had to fight for 200 long years before the British could be thrown out. Just my view ok. Thanks
Dalai Lama has to take a tough chance and fight for his fellow people. This is the last oppurtunity he might get to speak on behalf of his fellowmen since once the olumpics is over the chinse would be back to their dirty Games. Speak up Sir we are all with you...
