Tibetan government-in-exile launches cable network
Dharamsala, Nov 4 (IANS) The Tibetan government-in-exile Wednesday launched a cable network in this town to highlight its policies among the exiled community.
Thubten Samphel, a spokesperson for the government-in-exile that is not recognised by any country, told IANS that ‘Prime Minister’ Samdhong Rinpoche launched the network, Tibet TV.
‘This is the first non-commercial initiative of the government-in-exile to highlight its policies among the exiles, especially the youth,’ he said.
The channel will showcase various aspects of Tibet’s culture, language, religion and history.
‘It will also broadcast live telecast of the sessions of the Tibetan parliament in exile, besides discourses of the Dalai Lama, prayer sessions and documentaries on Tibet,’ Samphel said.
Dharamsala is the headquarters of the Tibetan government-in-exile, where the Dalai Lama settled down along with thousands of his followers after fleeing Tibet in 1959.
Dharamsala is now an attraction for Westerners in search of Tibetan culture and spiritual sustenance. India is home to over 100,000 Tibetans.

A Great Deception
The Western Shugden Society has published a new book concerning the Dorje Shugden controversy entitled ‘A Great Deception’. The website publicising the new book explains:
This is a true story revealing the hidden side to the celebrity Nobel Peace Prize winner – The Dalai Lama. Using ground-breaking research, this book looks behind the saintly image to expose the real Dalai Lama; a religious and political dictator, who is responsible for persecuting not only his own people, but millions of people around the World.
The stated aims of the book are:
To liberate millions of innocent practitioners of the Buddhist Deity Dorje Shugden and their families from suffering
To restore peace and harmony between Shugden and non-Shugden practitioners
To re-establish the common spiritual activities of Shugden and non-Shugden practitioners
To free Buddhism from political pollution
The book explains how, just like the 5th and 13th Dalai Lamas, the present Dalai Lama has misused Buddha’s teachings for political aims (the Lama Policy) and how this degeneration has destroyed the peace and harmony of the international Buddhist community, including the persecution of Dorje Shugden practitioners.
We will be featuring extracts from the book in future blog posts, so stay tuned!
