...Chinese government not taken the resolute measures, we could not have enjoyed the stability we are enjoying today." Without prompting, Jiang denied that China had tried to influence American politics with campaign donations ("sheer fabrication") and said that the government would be glad to begin talks with the Dalai Lama if only the Buddhist leader would unequivocally accept Chinese sovereignty over the region. (Translation: Don't expect the Dalai Lama to rush to the phone...

Addressing charges of shunning, threats and even physical abuse against Shugdenites, American Dalai Lama adviser John Ackerly admits that "there have been cases of harassment," all condemned by the High Lama. The most tragic sign that the dispute has spun out of control was the apparently ritual 1997 stabbing of three high anti-Shugden monks in the exile capital of Dharamsala, India. The killers escaped, but Indian police traced a call they made to a pro-Shugden...
