China has jailed Tenpa Gyatso, ex-abbot of Ragya Monastery who led long life prayers for the Dalai Lama, for 5 years. In the same week news emerged of the closure of 3 #Tibetan schools also in Golog, Amdo: tibetwatch.org/former-ragya-…
In August, one of the most prestigious conferences in Tibetan studies was cancelled in #Nepal after #China’s ambassador urged 'vigilance' over pro-Tibet voices. @Openthemag on Beijing’s campaign to control #Buddhism openthemagazine.com/world/th… 1/3

Citing @TibetWatch, @lennyspeaks explores the geopolitical contest over Buddhism, why it matters, and what is at stake for #India openthemagazine.com/world/th…
Beijing’s efforts to dominate #Buddhist discourse globally emerge from harsh CCP policies inside #Tibet. In @Openthemag, Tibet Watch’s Kate Saunders explains why India is central to the coming fight over the Dalai Lama’s succession openthemagazine.com/india/wh… 1/3
The CCP’s campaign runs from the World Buddhist Forum to a 'Sinicised' rival to Nalanda, funding for loyalty and pressure on governments to deny the Dalai Lama visas. The stakes go beyond religion to geopolitics: Tibet’s borders, resources and the headwaters of Asia’s rivers 2/3
India’s relic diplomacy reminds #Asia where Buddhism came from. But the succession will unfold on #Indian soil + Delhi has yet to take a strong posn. India should say that the choice belongs to the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhists alone. @Openthemag 3/3
'#China’s state-managed #Buddhism remains a tool of political utility rather than living faith, while #India’s connection rests on the irreplaceable sacred geography that first gave the world the Dharma': iview with Sriparna Pathak by @lennyspeaks openthemagazine.com/world/ch…
China shuts 3 more #Tibetan schools in Golog, Amdo. All 3 placed Tibetan language, culture + #Buddhist identity at the heart of their teaching, while meeting requirements of China’s 9-year compulsory education curriculum inc teaching in #Chinese tibetwatch.org/china-shuts-t… 1/4
A former student told us of profound fear for the future, saying: 'Most kindergarteners + elementary school students in #Tibetan areas cannot now speak Tibetan, only Mandarin. Their future situation is unimaginable.' 3/4
This education reached beyond the classroom: it underpinned a sustainable future for #Tibet. The CCP’s extractivist agenda works against it, removing nomads from their land and severing the knowledge that has sustained the plateau’s fragile ecology for generations. 4/4

Great piece by @benedictrogers unpacking the CCP’s new tactics to control religion and culture in #Tibet, including the promotion of the fake Panchen Lama in those efforts
