Lhasa is at fire. What happened to this friendly peach full place? Why did monks started their demonstration. Why are monks walking in India? A culture is disappearing ...

China blocks YouTube, Yahoo! over Tibet
Jonathan Richards
China has closed down access to several of the world's most popular websites in an apparent attempt to censor international coverage of the violence that is unfolding in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital.
YouTube, the video-sharing website which has become a home to amateur footage of news events, has been blocked to Chinese users since Saturday, and there are also reports that the news pages of Yahoo!, the internet portal, have been made inaccessible.
In addition, the entire Guardian website has been closed down as of today, and other sites - including Times Online - have had access to their coverage of recent events in Tibet severely restricted.
Popular sites which assimilate news from different sources - such as Google News - have been subject to what is known as 'keyword filtering', where a Chinese internet user attempting to load a page which contains words such as 'Tibet' or 'Dalai Lama' will see the site stall.......
The picture is from 1.5 years ago. A monk meets a pilgrim. By touching the head of the monk with his head the pilgrim hopes to get a bit of the wisdom of the monk .. Wisdom is needed sometimes .. may be today. |

Another speaking photo!
I didn't know about the tradition of touching the monk's head with your own. Sounds smart! Will try some day with someone wise...

Great Picture!
FREE TIBET
Hi Frans,
One can only hope for the best outcome for Tibet! I think this is an outstanding photo of a culture with which most westerners are unfamiliar.
Nice sharp photo showing traditional greeting.
thanks for sharing, Lisa
Wonderful picture! I believe China can stop all news and does..... I also watched Chinese tv in Tibet, and saw how history had been rewritten!
Hi Frans,
Another great post about Tibet and a very important note.
