Karma of Tibet and China

There’s a question about Tibet and China in the near future.

Hilarion: Well, there is this likelihood as things tend to go, that the political sphere will allow things as they've been to continue. What has happened is that the many people in USA and in Europe who are aware of the injustices and the difficulties that have been perpetrated on the Tibetan people by the Chinese: the taking of lands, the destruction of temples, all of this; they have seen of this and have not participated in stopping it. To do so, of course is relatively simple: stop buying anything made in China. When you do so, lodge your discontent with how they have treated the Tibetans and indeed if everyone on the planet did this it would probably take less than two weeks for reparations to be made.

Yes, it's true that would be a gesture, the harm that has been done cannot to a large extent be undone. But, there would at least be an acknowledgment because China is very dependent on goods being sold to everyone else on the planet. But, people have not done this, even though it has been suggested, even though there has been a lot of information about this because you think that you are more addicted to your goods from China than is actually the case. This is the continuation of this energy. It just keeps going and going, so you go with it.

So, it is also that the governments who could have taken a stand against this did not. Partly because of the economic situation where China owns real estate, bonds, government obligations of all types and so on. You could say they are running the show. In point of fact, of course, they are missing something very important. The Tibetan people, far more than most other countries have a devotion to consciousness, spirituality, awakening and things that would be of tremendous value to the Chinese. A tremendous value to everyone on this planet.

Indeed, it has been a part of their own spiritual development alongside of their own material development in the way that some other countries have worked with this. But, to a large extent the uncovering of service to self has been a tremendous motivator so that the religious leaders, instead of garnering tremendous power for themselves, have to a large extent shared it with the others.

But, karmically speaking many of these individuals are balancing out energetics from the past. So, it is seen that the best hope is that there will be more and more acceptance of some of these ideas of spirituality and consciousness and understanding and over and over penetrating past the dogma, past the accounts of a single individuals but to that which is agreed upon and understood by many. So, that this will become so widespread and understood that the Chinese will have to accept it themselves. Just as has occurred over and over when any country moves in to take over another country as has occurred from Mongolia into China as has occurred from your own experience in the USA of Europeans taking over the Native American lands and of the constant movement into native cultures everywhere on your planet.

Well, there is an assimilation that takes place and eventually there is some acknowledgment, some willingness to give back. Here, when you look at it what the Tibetans would want you to give back, well yes, there will be land, there will be some repatriation perhaps, some money, but the most important thing is the spiritual teaching. The wisdom and understanding about the nature of consciousness, the nature of being-ness and the ways in which the Tibetans have in so many ways shown people ways of service to all and understanding of the collective consciousness beyond that of any other religion.

So, in this way it may be assimilated and it may be that which is of positive value and there may even be a small movement at some point in the future to give back some of Tibet to the Tibetans. But, by then of course, as is always the case, the assimilation goes on and on. Just as it has in these other countries and other examples as we've given and the result is that, it never is that of what it was before nor should it be. But, that of something beyond that, that can be a benefit to all.

That is about the most hopeful way we can answer the question given the tendency, since the world did have a chance to step in and stop this but did not do so. Thus, the result has been a great deal of hardship for the Tibetans and the way in which so many in China have indeed taken over the lands and places in which these people did once have a unique and independent culture. But, we see however that the larger gift of this is the idea that many in the world are listening, reading and learning about some of the Tibetan ideas and this of course, would be helpful far beyond China.
