The story of The Tibetan Photo Project
can be found at www.tibetanphotoproject.com
• China's takeover of Tibet began in 1949.
• Beijing's brutal policies remain intact. In a population of 6 million Tibetans, Chinese government forces have caused the deaths of 1.2 million Tibetans by execution, torture, starvation, forced labor and imprisonment. Of 6,000 monasteries only 13 remain.
• In 1989 the exiled leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize He accepted on behalf of the Tibetan people and their efforts to find a peaceful solution to China's brutal occupation of Tibet. The Dalai Lama was among the first with a $30k donation to victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York. The complete text of his letter to President Bush on the attack on the World Trade Center can be found at www.tibet.com.
• Over 135,000 Tibetans live in exile with between 1,500 and 3,500 escaping into Nepal and India each year.
• Tibet's exile community offers great insight into the nature of the Chinese leaders at a time when Beijing's role on the stage of world events is expanding rapidly.
My contact with the Tibetan monks began on the Mendocino stop of their 1999 American cultural tour. I had the privilege of a photo-op and an interview with a Lama.
