China regulates Reincarnation

Seriously, this is getting outta hand.

quote:

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation."

What next ?

this is just another ploy to control religion. they are appointing their own dalai lama. srsly, fuck China.

100 consecutive death sentances, naturally.

LMAO @ "China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission", LOL ... that made my day. But seriously, that is horrible. China is brutal. Doesnt surprise me that much, knowing full well of Chinese government brutality in the occupied regions ...

Do you guys think China believes in re-incarnation of Tibetan monks?

Its all politics.. they have stopped the political hierarchy in Tibetan society by banning these monks reincarnation.. as they are nothing but handing down of political power from one generation of monk to another generation in Tibet.

This is not a ploy to control religion, but to control Tibetan politics.

Oh the occupied regions.... I would really like Tibet to be independent, just to see the mess that they would be in. Not everyone can be monks, and while monks would be happy living in a resource-less Tibet, I'm sure most Tibetans wouldn't mind staying with China's powerful economy in order to keep eating. After all the sole reason Tibetans have any bit of progress/industry/economy is because their part of China, nothing else.

Well, here are a few ideas of things previously put into law, to give you a better guess at WHAT NEXT... enjoy.

1. In NJ, it is illegal to raise chickens in bottles.

2. In Michigan, it is illegal to kill a dog using a decompression chamber.

3. In New York, citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers."
also
4. The penalty for jumping off of a building is death.

5. In Alaska, it is illegal to push a live moose out of an airplane.

6. In Nevada, it's still legal to hang someone if they shoot your dog.

7. In Texas, criminals are required by law to give written or oral notice to their victims 24 hours in advance detailing the nature of the crime.

8. In Florida, if you tie your Elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the fee just as you would for a motor vehicle.

yup, crazy communists... WHAT NEXT?!?!

1, 2, 5 and 8 all seem pretty reasonable to me!

At the expense of losing their own culture, ancient thousand-years lifestyles, freedoms, religous practises??? LOL ... NO THANKS! They're not gaining much, other than being assimilated into a brutal Chinese system that will probably one day collapse like Soviet Union did.

Hey, in Russia if you're Muslim/Buddhist/Jewish or whatever the minority you can reincaranate as many times as you want in your lifetime, time permitted.

Hopeful thinking perhaps? I doubt China is going anywhere near where the Soviet Union went. As far as Tibet, I think they have a pretty comfy deal. Get bossed around a bit for free money. They haven't lost anything. Bleeding heart activists that have never been to Tibet would like to think otherwise, but in the end, they haven't lost much.

Yeah, shutting down temples, tearing down communities, enforcing Chinese ideologies, arresting torturing and killing opponents, banning their practises ... yeah, Tibetans arent losing that much. If you think that everything that they hold dear, everything that is sacred and important to them, a lot of which is being taken away is not much, well, I guess so ... I guess according to your logic Tibetans prefer decadent living at labour factories earning 5 cents an hour to give profits to Western and Chinese companies. Thats awesome livin'. Thats life.

Wow, that's like passing a law saying, If you die prematurely and go to Heaven, you must pay a fine. Man, the 21st Century sure is a good century for totalitarianism.
