Hmm, so today is the 18th Birthday of the Panchen Lama, who was “spirited away” by chinese agents 12 years ago. (The Panchen Lama is the 2nd most important figure in Tantric Buddhism, after the Dalai Lama; and hes been in exile since 1959) I wonder if they’ll let him out now; or continue the charade of “having private schooling in beijing”
Also, dont forget the Dalai Lama is on Maui today, check out the webcast here

In the news today, PRC agents arrested 4 American students at the Tibet-side base camp for videotaping themselves holding up a “One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008” banner, a play on the “One World, One Dream” slogan for the upcoming Beijing Olympics. FTP!
