Happy Tibetan New Year
The Tibetan New Year, Losar, started yesterday (25th) and continues until tomorrow (27th). In the Tibetan calendar, we are starting the Year of the Female Earth Ox or year 2136.
This year, celebrations are muted as many Tibetans forgo their usual celebrations and protest about the on-going civil rights abuses by the occupying Chinese government. A little less than a year ago, a number of protesters were killed during a period of civil unrest. Anyone speaking out for civil rights in the region faces arrest and long spells in prison.
Tintin in Tibet is one of Herge’s greatest works and in 2006 the Dali Lama presents the Light of Truth award to the Hergé Foundation in Brussels in recognition Herge’s significant contributions to the public understanding of Tibetan culture.
