![]() (The Dalai Lama recently said that the Panchen Lama is alive and having a normal education. Sources continue to suggest he’s still alive and well.” The question is: what’s become of the legitimate Panchen? He was arrested when he was 6 he is now 29 years old. What the Chinese essentially did by kidnapping the Dalai Lama’s candidate and then installing their own was to give China a role in identifying the next Dalai Lama. “These two lamas have traditionally played a role in the identification of the other. In 1995 the Dalai Lama identified the 11th incarnation of the Panchen Lama, “a very senior, important figure in the Gelug tradition,” explains Bruno, who spent years living with Tibetans in exile. In 1991 the party for the first time issued a directive that said reincarnation is allowed, but the process has to follow strict controls. The most notorious story of China’s “reincarnation management” is the kidnapping of the Panchen Lama at the age of 6. Religions are protected under the constitution, but the CCP’s attitude seems to be, ‘If we protect them, we’ll do so to benefit the party, not the believer.’” The irony, of course, is that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is atheist. “There have been around 870 tulkus that China has officially approved. “China has been stage-managing the selection of reincarnated lamas for some time,” notes Greg Bruno, author of Blessings From Beijing: Inside China’s Soft-Power War on Tibet. And the institution of the tulku has not been spared. Since the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950, China has perpetrated an increasingly brutal takeover of Tibetan life that has culminated in decades of totalitarian rule and egregious human rights abuses. ![]() They have destroyed religion wherever they’ve encountered it,” he said. They have robbed and destroyed monasteries, forcing the monks to join their armies or else killing them outright. “Already they have consumed much of Mongolia, where they have outlawed the search for the reincarnation of Jetsun Dampa, the incarnate head of the country. In 1932, the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, made a prescient prediction that warned against the Chinese Communist revolutionaries. Both bills had broad bipartisan support.Īttempts to interfere in the selection of lamas inside and outside of Tibet by the Chinese government go back decades. Bush, that binds the US government to take certain actions in support of the Tibetan people, as well as the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama in 2007. As examples of former acts of Congress on Tibet of particular importance to Tibetans, Mecacci named The Tibetan Policy Act, passed unanimously by Congress in 2002 and signed into law by George W. “This bill confirms that the decades-long support that the US Congress has provided to the Tibetan people is as strong as ever, and this is something the Chinese government will have to keep clearly in mind if they really decide to act and select the next Dalai Lama and to continue to interfere with religious freedom and basic human rights in Tibet,” Matteo Mecacci, president of the International Campaign for Tibet, told Tricycle. ![]() The bill states that the Senate “ expresses its sense that the identification and installation of Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders, including a future 15th Dalai Lama, is a matter that should be determined solely within the Tibetan Buddhist faith community, in accordance with the inalienable right to religious freedom.” It also marks “the 10th anniversary of a series of protests in Lhasa, which spread across Tibet, and which were suppressed by Chinese forces,” and notes the horrifying statistic that “since the 2008 protests, at least 152 Tibetans in Tibet are known to have self-immolated” in a desperate act of defiance against the status quo.Īt the center of the bill’s intent, however, is a defense of Tibetan Buddhists’ right to choose tulkus, the reincarnations of spiritual leaders, whose selection process is supposed to proceed on religious, not political, lines. The resolution, which passed on April 25, commemorates “the 59th anniversary of Tibet’s 1959 uprising as ‘Tibetan Rights Day’” on March 10. In a strong gesture of support for religious freedoms in Tibet, the US Senate has stepped in to affirm the right of the Tibetan people to choose the next incarnation of the Dalai Lama for themselves.

![]() But it was still a hassle to soak and do all that jazz at home.Īll this to say, when I first found out about dazzle dry and that you could take it off like normal polish AND (!) it claimed to stay on as long as gel, I had to give it a try! And I will now never go back to gel or dip. And then I hated that I couldn’t take it off myself at home. The only part I didn’t love was the UV rays necessary to harden the polish – my hands already look old. ![]() I then got gel on my nails for 3 years and it worked well for me. Over the course of 2 months, the rashes and skin irritation slowly dissipated! I’m not sure if it was specifically because of “acrylic” but I do know that switching to gel helped. She suggested I switch to gel and see if the rashes went away. I went to see a dermatologist who said it might be an allergy to the acrylics or something in the dip powder I was using. It was gross and hurt too! It then spread to dry, irritated skin on my face and eye lids. And eventually, with time, my skin got really itchy and started bleeding – I even got some blisters too. If you were following, you might have seen me share about it, but basically the skin surrounding my cuticle and nail area on my fingers got really, really dry. ![]() I religiously got dip powder for several years until one day I started getting this crazy skin reaction back in 2018. I loved how they made your nails feel thicker and I would get zero chips for weeks! Plus, it just looked good. Why I made the switch from gel manicures: Like, it brings me so much joy in such a small, simple way. ![]() HOW TO INSTALL THE NEWLY DIGGZ XENON 19.4.1 MATRIX BUILD 2023 KODI UPDATE.

Balagueró tried to capture the lightning in the bottle again, but ended delivering another unoriginal outbreak film. Rec 4: Apocalypse was a letdown and the weakest of the series. It's not on par with the first two masterpieces but it is terrific, as a dark comedy, and I love how Paco Plaza went in a completely different direction even in filmmaking style, avoiding the series to become a repetition, and getting it closer to say, Sam Raimi's style, with comedy playing a heavy part on the horror of the situation. ![]() Actually Rec 2 is to Rec, what Aliens was to Alien, and I would dare to say that Rec 2 is even slightly better than the first, and more complex. It's a fantastic film, one of the best horror films ever made and Manuela Velasco's performance in this and subsequent sequels (2 and 4) could and should be compared to Sigourney Weaver's in the Alien franchise. We believe in her so hard we want the former for her as much as we want the latter, and we'll ride (or die) with her to the terrible, terrible places to find them both. And yet Velasco carries us genuinely to that heightened place through sheer force of skill, making Ángela's quest for truth and for freedom - the truth about what is happening inside of this building, and the freedom to get the hell out alive - go hand in hand. The climax of is nigh histrionic, with everyone absolutely screaming their lines at a register not seen since Janeane Garofolo went looking for " The Fucking Phone!!!! " in Wet Hot American Summer. Ángela is as dogged in her pursuit of the sleeping and eating habits of the local fireman in the film's first fifteen minutes as she'll come to be in ' s last act, when those same firemen have developed the nasty habit of ripping out throats. She will tell the outside world what is happening them there inside this building dammit, and Velasco plants those seeds of Ángela's serious-mindedness, even against the frivolity of her assigned duty, from frame one. A lot of found-footage movies don't seem to know how to convince the audience that a person would keep filming while monsters are attacking them, but keeping the camera running is Ángela's raison d'être. Because all the tension of - that's not all those bloodthirsty people-eaters they encounter, of course - is built right into its filming. And yet it's Ángela's push-pull with the camera (as well as her never-seen cameraman Pablo) itself that might be the movie's strongest legacy. Her natural charm in front of a camera, the way she manages to turn it on and off and make an entire side-story out of her relationship with the camera itself - an arc that would become integral to the entire sub-genre, and I don't know if any Found Footage film has done it better.Ī lot of feels like that, even though it came eight years after the phenom Blair Witch - watch a found footage film post-2007 and half their tricks are -thefts, up to and especially including its iconic final yank of a frame, which I'll refrain from spoiling here. ![]() Velasco was a well-known presence in Spain before came along - she'd been a child actor (exactly 20 years before she played little Ada in Pedro Almodovar's Law of Desire ) and in the way of European stardom she had done a lot of TV presenting over the years, a skill-set that was vital to her stellar turn here as Ángela Vidal, intrepid reporter on the firehouse beat. And the rest of the movie wouldn't work nearly as well as it does without it, because this is where we get to know the superhero-to-be Ángela Vidal (played with fire and fury by Manuela Velasco) and become intimate with all of the killer traits that will go on to make of her, by the film's final frame, one of horror's great Final Girls. There is far more meat to that "while they are recording" then one would think. While they are recording, the firehouse receives a call about an old woman." "Reporter Ángela Vidal and her cameraman Pablo are covering the night shift in one of Barcelona's local fire stations for the documentary television series While You're Sleeping. It's always like this, stolen off Wikipedia: Whenever you read a plot synopsis of the 2007 found-footage masterpiece by Spanish filmmakers Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza (both of whom have gone on to make outstanding films on their own, not to mention a couple of outstanding sequels to itself) it's worth noting that the synopsis always leaves out the first fifteen minutes of the movie. ![]() If they play a spade, then spades are considered broken.
