I've said here, but repetita iuvant: If the Dalai Lama left his role as political leader of Tibetans, the situation of his people would be an advantage. And so it happened just now. The XIV Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso has just announced that he will abdicate and leave the power to the leader who will be elected.
Will of course remain the spiritual leader of Buddhist Vajrayana. I formally propose to the 14th session of Tibetan Parliament in exile, which will begin March 14. The announcement was made today because it is a special date. It is the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of the uprising in Lhasa against China's repression of the uprising of 1959 and 2008.
But the famous "middle way", advocated by the Dalai Lama, until now has been totally ineffective to bring justice to Tibet, to make independent reporting, or at least to grant him the respect and autonomy. The decision of the Dalai Lama was already in the air for some time and many Tibetans, both in Tibet and from abroad, had asked him to remain in place.
His charisma, even in the West, is unquestioned. But Tenzin Gyatso said: "My desire to give up my political authority has nothing to do with the desire to avoid responsibility. E 'for the good of Tibetans in the long term. It is not because I feel discouraged. The Tibetans have placed so much faith and trust in me that I, as one of them, are committed to doing my part for the just cause of Tibet.
"Then, as if to say the king died, long live the king! Health and joy to the Dalai Lama giving up the land with the hope that the next head of government took a road of real help to the oppressed people of Tibet, without this turning into an armed revolt and resulting in a bloodbath. The Tibetan people, like the Uighurs and the Chinese people who believe in fundamental rights, they deserve it.
Peace at any cost, discussions, moral persuasion and politics of the Dalai Lama were not enough to stir the heart a little 'hard of China. And I look hopeful that with the new head of government will open a new page for the Tibetans.
