Just watched a film about Tibet, and how they got all massacred by the Chinese communists after WWII.
I can understand the desire to conquer lands and expand/control borders etc... but I can't think of many good reasons why they would have destroyed so many monasteries and butchered so many monks/people. It just seems overkill to me
Now I wonder about all this from an 'erased-history' perspective.
I've heard rumors that the Nazis were traveling into Tibet, searching for evidence of their own theories of history, Shambhala, Aryan race and all that.
Perhaps the Tibetans had libraries and truths of the past, maybe that's why the Nazis went there, and maybe that's why so many Tibetan monasteries needed to be seized/burned/destroyed?
Is this why the Swastika had to be so vigorously and absolutely demonized and forbidden to the world forever more?
Sometimes I think the WW's were, among other things, events created so that the old world could be completely wiped from the record, evidence destroyed, history re-written. If this is so, then the post-war destruction of Tibet and its monasteries suddenly makes a bit more sense.
Following this theory, do you think the Chinese would have just destroyed old libraries and texts? Or would they have stolen/seized most of it?
If you want to truly erase/re-write history, the smart move would be to destroy everything. On the other hand, anyone with a shred of love for Humanity and Truth could never be so nasty, and would have wanted some things preserved and protected.
