China offers rewards for information about immolations
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

The desperation of many Tibetans in dealing with repressive conditions under Chinese rule has become self evident with each new self-immolation. The most recent response to this tragic situation from the Chinese authorities has been to offer a reward for information about the self-immolations. The Tibet Sun has reported in an article on October 26, 2012: "China offers rewards to expose Tibetan immolations." On Thursday the Chinese police said they were offering up to $32,000 as a reward for information on the “black hands” which have been behind a string of self-immolations in a Tibetan-inhabited region. There have been notices posted in Gannan prefecture in the northwest Gansu province which offers the rewards after several Tibetans set themselves on fire in protest against China’s rule of the region.
