Tibet Museum

This is a Stone Carving depicting the Chinese Oppression and Torture

Tibetian Culture Artifacts

I had been to Dharamshala recently. Its the place where Dalai Lama resides. The place has a beautiful monastery and has a Museum where the monks have detailed out Tibetan Culture and the Chinese Oppression. They also have a hour long video about the Chinese Occupation and how is it ruining their culture and forcing them to flee their own home land.

Yes, the Chinese have a lot to answer for with their treatment of the Tibetan people, and their attempts to destroy the Tibetan culture. If only the western heads of government possessed a small amount of the wisdom of the Dalai Lama. Good photos!

The first one really needs to be enlarged to appreciate the intensity of the carving. These are wonderful, thank you for sharing them. What a fantastic place to get to visit. I agree with anniepie, I would love to go there some day. ; )
