Snowshoe, did your relation ever mention this visit?
Is it a wonder that the lords lost, as their subjects refused to protect them?
The article of course also mentions the CIA and its dark programs in Tibet. Is it any wonder cb ilaine believe what she believes, being a cult member?
Fact is Buddhism is an older religion than both Christianity and Islam, and when young, was as awful as any of the other organized cults. In Tibet, Buddhism stayed young.
Now, Buddhism moved on.
Christianity in Europe matured, but in America, infant like. And now, Islam, just as infant like, found its target. May the two sects enjoy getting to know each other over the next several hundred years.

<<In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited an exhibition of torture equipment that had been used by the Tibetan overlords. There were handcuffs of all sizes, including small ones for children, and instruments for cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes, breaking off hands, and hamstringing legs. There were hot brands, whips, and special implements for disemboweling. The exhibition presented photographs and testimonies of victims who had been blinded or crippled or suffered amputations for thievery. There was the shepherd whose master owed him a reimbursement in yuan and wheat but refused to pay. So he took one of the master’s cows; for this he had his hands severed. Another herdsman, who opposed having his wife taken from him by his lord, had his hands broken off. There were pictures of Communist activists with noses and upper lips cut off, and a woman who was raped and then had her nose sliced away.23>>
