...itself is an attempt to make the Tibetan government in exile more democratic, more inclusive and better able to make decisions without the Dalai Lama. The delegates took the first step in that process on Saturday. They passed a resolution that reaffirmed support for the Dalai Lama's "Middle Path" approach to China but also, for the first time, acknowledged and validated those pushing for full independence or an end to negotiations. "It is significant," says Lobsang Sengge, a delegate and fellow at Harvard Law School whose research focuses on the internal democracy of the exile government...
...exotic mystique, generating a certain sense of fantasy. One wonder how can such a people, such a place exist? Take Everett’s story of his brush with a giant anaconda. After he veers his small boat, laden with his family, out of the beast’s path he manages to just catch it with his propeller. “Then a second later the entire snake’s body stood up out of the water, towering above the boat....I looked at the entire length of the snake’s whitish underbelly as it fell...

Leaders of the main pro-independence activist groups were invited to be among the 550 delegates, and their opinions will be incorporated into its final report. "Overall...
...best hope of the independence activists may be to try to influence the strategies of negotiation rather than call for a wholesale change in policy. "We have realized that in the area of non-violence, we have used only 45 methods, but there are 200," Choeying says. "Within Middle Path there can be confrontation." Even among those who support independence, there is some skepticism about whether pushing for it now would be wise. "I'm divided," says Tenzin Choegyal, a delegate from Brisbane, Australia. "I'm a youth who's for independence, but looking at the path that we should...
