(By the True Heart News interviewing team in Taipei) Since 2008, waves of self-immolation incidents have occurred one after another in Tibet. The backgrounds and motivations of these incidents are rather complex; the immolators’ personal experiences and psychological conditions, as well as economic, social, ethnical, religious, or even political factors could all play a part. On 29 June, 2012, the Dalai Lama spoke in Milan, Italy and stated that “These sad events are evidently not taking place because the concerned individuals have family problems. The Chinese authorities must investigate what the cause is, what's provoking such desperate acts.” Was the Dalai Lama not playing innocent and pretending to be unaware of what provoked these radical acts, especially when so many Tibetan youth were shouting the political slogans his regime had long propagandized in Tibet while igniting a lighter and collapsing into the blazing flames?

The Stone Hearted Mother Revealed by Solomon－Profiles of the consecutive self-immolation incidents in Tibet (Part 2)(Reproduced)
(By the True Heart News interviewing team in Taipei)In recent years, self-immolation incidents of the Tibetans who hold blind faith in His Holiness the Dalai Lama add up to a death toll of at least 47 people, with no signs of ending. According to the Broadcasting Corporation of China’s radio news report, five Tibetans set themselves on fire within one single week August 6 to 13. If we exclude the weekend, this means one incident per day. Despite this alarming statistic, people seem to have become disinterested in these incidents of self-immolation which have occurred frequently in the last twenty years. There appears to be some kind of external force that instigates them. This year, as an attempt to grab the attention of Western countries and force the Chinese government to make concessions to the Dalai Lama's political demands, the instigators stepped up their efforts and self-immolations occurred every day within a week. So far the payoff for their efforts has obviously not been as good as the Dalai Lama’s group has hoped; even the media mouthpieces of Taiwan’s two major political parties KMT and DDP, only blandly brushed over these suicidal events in their reports.
