The dialog is always better than confrontation.

Tibetans once ruled the China.
The land of China has been shared by many ethnic groups.
The so-called Han Chinese is in fact a mix of many ethnic groups
who competed (or killed) each other in the last five thousand years.
In fact, even today, the difference between a Han Chinese in Canton
and a Han Chinese in Beijing is significantly wider than that between Southern Italian and
somebody from Barcelona. For one thing, they can not even verbally communicate
each other with their own languages. Han Chinese, Mongols, Manchu,
Tibetans and Hui (Turks) ruled the land of China one after another.
A Tibetan became emperor of West China in 5th century when his army seized
the Chinese then capital Chang-an and his family ruled there for several generations.
Late centuries saw Tibetan armies burned the capital down twice. During the Mongolian-Tibetan rule
of China, lamas spread all over China, from the east coast to southern provinces.
The Han Chinese majority were not always the rulers of the land of China. In fact, before
1911 revolution, from 911 AD to 1911AD, about 70 % of times, in particular, in the north,
China were ruled by Kitan, Machu, Mongol-Tibetan and Manchu.
The 1911 revolution brought the Republic of China which specifically stated that she is a republic
of five ethnic groups: Han Chinese, Machu, Mongols, Tibetan and Hui. Her national flag
was an European style of five colored strips each represents one of the above mentioned
ethnic groups. Tibetan is not analog of American Indian to US or Australian aborigine people
to Australia. Tibetans are very much an active force in the land of China. While there were
wars between these peoples, Tibetans were never viewed as outsiders in last three thousand years
of Chinese history. Dalai Lama's rule in the area of Lhasa was established by Qing imperial
army which extended to all Tibet later after a Chinese imperial calvary helped
Dalai Lama' war against the King of Napal and push the King's army to the other side of the Himalaya.

Tibetans have a glorious history, wonderful culture and had once thriving economy. Ancient Tibetans helped
the establishment the Chou Kingdom of China which saw the rise of Chinese civilization in the central
China. The Tibetan Kingdom of 7th-8th century stood firmly against the expansion of the mighty Tang Empire (of Xianbei-Han Chinese). Her decline was companied by the 5th Dalai Lama and his successor's strict religious rule unfortunately (Taliban would be 10 times moderate) whose population of about 5 millions during the Mogol-Tibetan time was reduced to 1.2 million in 1949 under the Dalai Lamas. Those who support 'Free Tibet' movement should ask if any of the former slaves of those exile noble men and lama monks would like to return to
the one of most destructive period of Tibetan
history.

Dear Dalai lama,
I am writing to inform you that I intend to launch a protest at the Tibetan Cultural Center in Bloomington with at least 2,000 Chinese Shugden Supporters this summer. The intent is to reveal your violations of the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights. I am hoping that your servants will deny access to the grounds to validate my strong opposition to your current policy is that of a tyrant that you have unfortunately evolved into over the years.
I am writing to tell you this, as you have proven to be a big disappointment to me with your harsh and cruel activities towards your own people.
I will be in Beijing this summer, enlisting the Chinese to support me to help heal your afflicted mind.
I hope to see you there with your brother Thubten and we can view freedom in action as the protest file down the lane of my home town
I truly regret throwing my property away by giving it to you. I hope my activities will alter that my poor choice in trusting you and your brother and return the land to a true and honest group that does feed on it's own people as you do. Shame on you. You have disgraced millions of people in this world and disappointed the heavens with your shameless behavior.
I am available to discuss these issues should you care to be reasonable. Otherwise, I'll wave to you on your way down.
Sincerely
Thomas Canada
