I’ve never understood how “innocent” Tibetans are so clueless about these manouverings when actually they are adepts at taking care of their little self interests.

Would he show his Aro Khapa mantle or would he melt like ice under heat. Sangay doesn’t enjoy undivided confidence of his Kalons either. I am told that of lately, His Holiness has almost stopped pepping up Sangay at his international events. If true, it means a lot. But I doubt if innocent Tibetan can make sense of it!

It would be very wise of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to postpone Kalachakra teaching so that Incumbent Sikyong do not get to take undue electoral politics.

This information comes from people very close to Kalon Pema Chonjor.

Tibetan National Congress founding resolution, mission statement promulgate Independence. So I am not getting why this supposed Rangzen org backing the Umeylam candidate Tashi Wangchu la, instead of Lukar Jam la?

http://www.tibetnc.org/tnc/founding-resolution/

TNC now seems to have deleted from their Facebook, any mention of Tashi Wangchu la. What does this portent?

Tibetans.

As the sole and the only candidate to take on the breathless Middle Way Approach (MWA)he is
likely to shed a much needed light on the vagaries of religious-cum-sectarian politics of survival and appeasement. I bet the two declared candidates – Tashi Wangdu an Pempa Tsering – cannot afford to distance from the Middle Way Approach (MWA), and the yet-to-declare officially incumbent Lobsang Sangay cannot but hide behind the cloak of the MWA.

My current take is this will be a close choice elections. Why? All the three presumptive candidates other than Mr. Lukhar will have to share and split the MWY votes where as Lukar will usurp the unto-now undeclared block of votes, especially the young educated voters.

And I dare to challenge the undecided voters to make a statement during the primary in October and rock the infant Tibetan democracy.

And don’t be surprised if more new and fresh plus some veterans join the fray to upend the results to one solid direction.

She, like a good Bolsheviks, knows, there is no crime in Paradise. In our society, women are never abused, kids never raped in monasteries. “I know, you know good comrades, “crime” is a disease of the decadent West.”

in my opinion, he has done nothing during his terms for prime minister…its not clear why he still popular

While most of us are dreaming on the banks, at least the intrepid Mr. Lukar Jam is getting his feet wet in the mind-blowing water that is the Middle Way. Said water is not salty like the ocean, nor fresh like Lake Tanganyika, yet any Goldilocks will tell you, this other-water is just right.

“‘Middle way’ the answer to Tibetan problem”, reaffirmed the Sikyong. Candidate Tashi Wangdu la even swears that his allegedly successful sustainability program in agriculture resulted utilizing the Middle Way concept. It would seem then, anything labelled “Middle Way” is the very definition of SUCCESS, or purported to be so by those Delphi oracles of Dharsa. Maybe they are right. Maybe since the MiddleWay catchphrase has become so successful, there are no more questions left to ask. Or maybe, Oedipus-like, the public is somehow misinformed. If we are, even a little bit, then, It’s the best part of democracy that a Rangzen Sphinx like Lukar Jam (or any Tibetan citizen) must be allowed, to ask questions, and expect honest answers.

Everyone must think Dr. Sangay will win, hence the state of ennui around here. I suspect all the other nominees thus far are too much like him to make any difference with the voters, of course, with the noted exception of Lukar Jam la. Who knows, could be, in the end, it will come down to these two lights: the Hirsute gentleman vs the nicely Coiffed. lol

but I really doubt that CTA would allow rangzen supporter…they just seems only accept someone in complete agreement with Dalai Lama
