The Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, which is probably the world's largest Buddhist monastic community, was founded by Choeje Yishin Norbu Khenpo Jigme Phuntshok.
The academy, as framed by the late Khenpo, has been serving as the wellspring of knowledge.
It is also the home for many Buddhist practitioners and the source of happiness for people across the globe.
The Chinese government is starting to destroy it.

So why are they taking out down?

Official answer: overcrowding/fire hazard. Real answer: Religion is scary and could lead to people thinking things.

I'm not trying to preach here, but I think a countries founded on atheistic principles are going to have issues like we see in China now.
sbrtueygtphd
what the heck is an atheistic principle?
ITalkAboutGoats
You're right. We should make sure all countries are founded on religion. That works so well.
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
That's not what I meant.
Syyd
What then?
LimeMime565
Yes because being an atheist is the same as being mao
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
I didn't say it was the same but that there might be some unique problems bc of that. Foundation for morality has to come from somewhere.
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
And if the communist party is their only foundational pillar...well, I don't think that's a good thing.
TerrRawrSaur
Why?!
goldensky
Because the Chinese government is 100% douchebags
solidSchneck
Chinese governement wants to reduce the population of the institute to 5,000 residents when there are well over 10,000 monks and nuns alone.
TerrRawrSaur
Looks like they are in the middle of nowhere, probably not hurting anyone or intentionally upsetting anyone. Just minding their own business
fizzlebuns
This is a country that considers the Dalai Lama a terrorist.
GadenKerensky
China doesn't care. China, last I heard, has it out for Buddhism. They particularly want to control Tibet and Nepal, Buddhist hotspots.
TerrRawrSaur
There should be a war on China. >:(
GadenKerensky
Can't do that, too much trade comes from them. First, we need to fuck up North Korea.
secretoaster
It's OK. Fundamentally, they do not desire or get attached to things.
suburbanhyena
Meh, we'll just start again
killerman927
But it would be nice for them to have a place to stay.

True, but one may argue from the perspective that there is a certain injustice being committed, and that is what op is calling attention to.

This is true, they are infamous for being horrible tourists lacking in manners as well as being loud, uncultured and uneducated.
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
If you disagree with this statement, all you have to do is google "chinese tourists" and see for yourself.

Amen
HappyEngineer
That's easier to say when you're outside, not emotionally invested in the country. We've all got some pretty horrible elephants in the room.
GadenKerensky
Yeah, Australia's no different, what with that Four Corner's program last night, but China's got some of the bigger Elephants.
RonPaulWasAnInsideJob
You shouldn't talk about your mother in law that way. When she's in the room anyways.

Chinese mothers are much more akin to horses
rosiethereaver
So very true; but as an American, I'll be the first to admit that my country is a horrible one :/
boobcat
That is an insane over generalisation. Please be American, the Hypocrisy would be pure.
GadenKerensky
I think that's an over generalisation in of itself to believe I'm an American. I'm Australian, and we have reason to be wary of China.
boobcat
if you're an Australian you've got reason to be wary of paper plates You might cut yourself ya dingo-shaggin mouth breather. Back in ya pen.

I really don't give a damn about the "everybody has problems" crap. China is a much worse country than most.

If i had the same job and income, I would chose to live in China than USA. Being surrounded by Yanks would degrade my intellegance

I hope that was satire.
MicroscopicWillToLiveWithACripplingLackOfPhallus
As a Chinese person: the modern city culture of China's as fucked as Beijing's pollution.

Wait, are you using some sort of workaround to bypass the Government blocks?

As a Chinese born in Canada. After talking to Chinese transfer students at my university, yes. You guys have just as bad brainwashing as USA

Okay? What the fuck does our shitty political situation have to do with your equally shitty attitude towards an entire nation?

Actually they've come a hell of a long way in a very short time. But they still have a ways to go yet.

Sadly it appears that their increase in prosperity is just making it easier for the Commy shitheads to increase their output of evil.

Have you seen how much of the South China Sea they are claiming?

They just need to shake off the whole trying to control the population and human rights violations stuff. Oh, and leave Tibet alone.
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
They're actually cracking down harder than ever now. Just this week they are taking control of all internet media reporting.
GadenKerensky
Not surprising.
Huor
The government lives in fear of collapsing.
GadenKerensky
And how do you think they could avoid that?
Huor
By continuing to tread the fine line between democracy and totalitarianism, I guess.
Radix865
And not start war a with the rest of the Asia...
GadenKerensky
They certainly don't want a war with America and Australia. Trade is too important.
Radix865
I mean the South China Sea border dispute they have with Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei. And in another area with Japan.
