Tibet had more than one dahlia lama and there were many dahlia lama leaders they are up to there 13th dahlia lama. The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual and temporal Leader of the Tibetan people. In the 7th century king Songtsen Gampo was there leader. **China trying to take over lhasa, tibetans have a time to hand thamselves in before.Dahlia lama says he wants peace not violence otherwise he'd resign. China is killing tibetans every day. Some People in tibet say china is terrible and is terirising there houses but others say china is wonderful.The dahlia lama is now saying that the olympic game in beijing is wonderful. The dahlia lama said that he is a very good leader but other monks nowsay that he sexually abuses them and made them swear they wouldn't tell anyone. **They say that china came to control tibet in the 18th century, but haven't maintained their authority for many years until now. China's leaders loose no sleep over Tibet. They have interrested huge amounts of money to improve internal security, making it almost impossible for tibetans to stage any kind of protest. **//When did China take over Tibet?// ** China say they took over tibet in the 18th century but maintained their authority for many years. They now claim in 2008 that china rules over tibet and has for many years. Tibet did have many religious leaders including all the dahlia lama. Many monks left the monk academy when china's goverment said that you can leave if you want most of the younger monks left. Now only the older monks are left and they are mostly the only ones who want the dahlia lama back. //**What year did China think they ruled Tibet?** China say that they started ruling tibet in the 18th century. But didn't say they did until// this year. chin ese say that tibet has been a part of chinafor over 700 years this is their therory. (//You may have heard a lot about Chinese invasion of Tibet or sympathetic about Tibet Independent movement in Western media. Do you know that China has [|56 nationalities]and is never a racist country in history. Do you know that Tibetan immigrated to Tibet several thousand years ago from other part of China? Do you know that when Red Army entered Tibet in 1951, they also recovered other part of China (Chinese army invaded China????). Do you know that before 1951, the feudal lords in Tibet who constituted only five percent of the population possessed 95 percent of the means of production. Do you know that Buddhism was brought into Tibet from china not from any other country.// China says that they always ruled tibet so then the way I see it the dahlia lama is the religious leader and china is the communist leader. So tibet dosen't really have n actuall leader that we know of the dahlia lama thinks it's him and the china goverment thinks it them. The dahlia lama's over the past years have been tibet's religious leaders.Then again china claim that they have been the rulers of tibet for ever and a day so there is no actual leader of tibet. **//Did China attack Tibet or Tibet attack China?//** We have watched alot of videos and read alot of papers and informaion and most of the information tells me that Tibet started the war but the chinese are kind of winning and the Tibetans are etting hurt the most. So in my conclusion I think that Tibet stated the war because they are the most hurt and are fighting the most.

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Five hundred years before Buddha Sakyamuni came into this world i.e., circa 1063 B.C., a semi-legendary figure known as Lord Shenrab Miwo reformed the primitive animism of the Shen race and founded the Tibetan Bon religion. According to Bonpo sources there were eighteen Shangshung Kings who ruled Tibet before King Nyatri Tsenpo. Tiwor Sergyi Jhagruchen was the first Shangshung King. ===[|Dalai Lama: "I Won’t Stop the Tibet Protests"]=== //nytimes.com —// The Dalai Lama said that he would not instruct his followers inside Tibet to surrender before Chinese authorities, and he described feeling “helpless” in preventing what he feared could be an imminent blood bath. He endorsed the right to peaceful protest, accusing Beijing of carrying out “a rule of terror". ==="Human rights violations Under the Dalai Lama's rule, punishments for crimes were often severe. A man who stole sheep from a monastery had his eyes gouged out. Communists had their noses and lips sliced off, and many monasteries had their own prisons and torture chambers."=== They claim several hundred Tibetans remain in detention and thousands of others are undergoing "patriotic education" campaigns to denounce the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader revered by most Tibetans. The center estimates that 6,500 Tibetans were detained after the riots in March, about 60 have been sentenced and up to 2,000 may remain in custody. Verifying reports is difficult because of increased surveillance of telephone calls, Choephel says. There used to be thousands of monasteries in Tibet. Every family was expected to send at least one boy to a monastery. Usually, boys would be ordained at the age of seven; girls, a bit older. The monastery life used to be the only access to education and improved social status. People went to monasteries to get educated, to merit their family and to pursue religious fulfillment. Although educational and economic conditions in Tibet have improved, many Tibetans are still drawn to the monasteries.
