New Delhi, March 27: Accused by China of ‘masterminding’ the Tibet unrest, the Dalai Lama on Thursday asked Beijing to ‘accept the reality’ as ‘lies cannot work’ in the 21st century.

The Tibetan spiritual leader, who is here in connection with a meditation workshop, said he was appealing to his "friends" across the world to express concern over Tibet.

"One thing I want to express is that it is the time for the Chinese Government or the officials concerned to accept the reality. That is more important," he told reporters in New Delhi.

"In any case, we are in the 21st century... our lies cannot work," the Dalai Lama said.

His comments come in the backdrop of persistent accusations by China that he had "masterminded" the recent violence in Tibet despite his denials.

On Saturday, the Dalai Lama will lead a prayer meeting in Rajghat, the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi, in memory of all those who have lost their lives during the recent unrest in Tibet.

china and tibet by s.k. madireddi on 28 Mar 2008

When China repeatedly accuses the Dalai Lama of causing problems, it only shows that if one repeats the same lie over and over, people begin to believe that this is the truth. China is a cancer that has first metastasized into the USA. Everything sold in the USA is made in China, which holds enormous amount of US dollars. China uses this money to support genocidal regimes in Myanmar and in Africa. China is trying to grab some offshore islands near Vietnam. The world allowed China to grab Tibet, just as it allowed Hitler to grab nearby countries. Remember "appeasement, and peace with honor" in the 1930's? China's imperialism must be checked. Ask our leaders not to grant it most favored nation status: China is a rogue nation. USA should boycott the Olympics. We should quit buying anything made in China, because all this does is make us more indebted to China.

china and tibet by Yogesh Datta on 28 Mar 2008

It is a proverb in China "tell a lie thousands of time, the next generation will take it as truth". USA and UK had boycotted Moscow Opympics. What's their problem now ? China's borders ends at Great Wall of China. All countries north and west of this wall are illegally occupied by Chinese colonisers.

Boycott China by Khandu Patel on 27 Mar 2008

The brutal suppression of Tebitan protestors is on par with the Chinese Communist Party. The world has not questioned their dictatorship because it delivered prosperity to their people. The brutality that has been on full display to the world shows that the world has been living in a fools paradise and has been self indulgent at the price of the Tibetan people. Tibetan autonomy would be workable only in a democracy. The world needs to wake up to this fact. The Dalai Lama is the only living representative of the Bhuddists. All Bhuddists in South Asia have every reason to identify with his cause. I expect the world government not to take a blind bit of notice until China is hurt in the only other way. Tawain and France have been exceptions but we shall whether they follow up their words with actions. That is by boycott of China and its exports.

Brutality is the integral part of Communist philosophy. Tibet or Nandigram, Communists will always use brutal force to impose their ideology.

Boycott China by Pro Tibet on 27 Mar 2008

Tibetans have a right to freedom from oppressive chines regime. Olympics cannot be held by a country which is killing peaceful demonstrators. The world should call for a boycott of olympics 2008 if China refuses to budge. The IT industry should take a decision not to outsource to China in protest of its oppression against Tibet. In the same sense, large retail chains should not buy Chinese products. Such campaigns are far more powerful than diplomatic censure of Chinese regime.

Han Chinese should overthrow the Communist Junta by Anonymous on 27 Mar 2008

The Dragon is notorious for lies and deception. That is what they played with Nehru. They feigned friendship with him so they can occupy India's real friend Tibet!! Nehru fell for the trick. But not again! India has a smart younger generation!! We will not fall for the Dragon's lies, deception and treachery!! With adequate support from the world community, Tibet will surely succeed. The question is "When?" not "Whether?". Han Chinese better overthrow the Communist Junta to establish Democracy and Liberty in China!!

"But not again", just look the ground reality, India has already fallen. Younger generation is not ruling India. Even Indians are not ruling India.
