Yes, officially the Dalai Lama and his followers stand for and preach non-violence and peaceful resistance (ala Dr King and Ghandi).

But let us be realistic about the situation for them - The Han Chinese are not people who give a shit about peace and non-violence - "Peace, Love and Happiness" are not gonna make things better in this case... The Dalai Lama knows this, hes not stupid...

The Tibetians are entitled to defend themselves and resist the occupation of Imperial China... They have been armed for years and have been getting arms from India and Nepal for years - I just wish that the west had the balls to put the Chinese back where they belong - but God forbid we piss WalMart off...

thanks...
