STATEMENT: Tibet Under Surveillance: How China Controls the Flow of Information tibet.net/statement-tibe…

178th out of 180. That’s China’s rank on the 2026 World Press Freedom Index. Now look at Tibet: 0 out of 100 on the Freedom Index — for the third consecutive year in a row. These aren’t just numbers. They are the walls of a prison built from silence — designed to hide what’s happening inside Tibet from the rest of the world. No journalists. No UN access. No witnesses. Where there is no press freedom, there are no limits to human rights abuses.

The Secret of My Laughter - A student asks His Holiness the Dalai Lama the secret behind his famous childlike laughter. His answer is disarmingly simple: a relaxed mind, no ego, and the understanding that we are all the same human beings. He explains how seeing yourself as “something special” creates stress and anxiety, while honesty, humility, and transparency are the true foundations of inner peace.

On this auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima – Vesak – which commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Buddha Shakyamuni, I offer my heartfelt greetings and prayers to every member of our global Buddhist family. This sacred day reminds us of the light that Shakyamuni Buddha brought into the world more than 2,500 years ago. Though the world has transformed beyond recognition since then, his teachings remain relevant today. His profound insight into dependent arising and his call to harm no one and to help all beings remain the most compassionate and practical guide for living in our troubled times. Whenever I can, I encourage those who consider themselves followers of the Buddha to be 21st-century Buddhists: to discover what the teachings truly mean and to put them into practice. This entails listening and reading, reflecting deeply on what one has heard or read, and making oneself thoroughly familiar with it. On this joyful celebration of the 2,570th Buddha Jayanti, I offer my greetings to all my Buddhist brothers and sisters. I pray that each of us, by bringing the Buddha's teachings into our own daily lives, may contribute to creating a happier and more peaceful world. With my prayers and good wishes, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama 1st May 2026
