Here are some more information for Old Tibetan:
Tibet is a region on the northern borders of India and for long acted as a buffer between India and China. Tibet has its own distinctive culture that is quite different from that of China. But it is also a fact of History that China has always coveted Tibet.
At the turn of the last century Tibet was a closed society. But Colonel Younghusband on the orders of Lord Curzon ordered an invasion of Tibet in 1903-04. The Tibetans were defeated and accepted a resident at Lhasa, the capital. But again the suzerainty of Tibet was recognized. The British shrewd as ever also got the Tibetans, Chinese and themselves into a pact that delineated the border with Tibet and India in the Shimla pact of 1914.
Tibet had degree of independence during the period between the two wars. However the end of the Second World War brought about a sea change in the political equation. India was granted independence by the British.Nehru the Indian Prim Minister, who had all his life spent agitating against the British rule did not understand the game of power politics. He showed naivity and by default accepted Chinese suzerainty over Tibet, though he talked of autonomy for the mountain state.
The Chinese invaded Tibet and soon entered Lhasa and all the while Nehru kept twiddling his thumbs. The Communists now established a stranglehold over Tibet and began to slowly dismantle their centuries old culture and religion. There was an uprising by the Tibetans which was ruthlessly crushed by China. The Dalia Lama the temporal and spiritual head of Tibet escaped to India and was granted political asylum
But again the Indian government could not do anything as China enforced communist rule over Tibet. Monasteries were razed and the Tibetan Buddhist nuns were forcibly married to Chinese men. The Lamas were hounded and Tibet was put under the strictest of laws. It was a dark age.
In this period the Indian Army suffered a devastating defeat to China and vast tracts of land were lost in Ladakh. The Chinese were thus able to consolidate their grip over Tibet. The Chinese even kidnapped young Tibetan girls and took them to China and Chinese from China were encouraged to settle in Tibet, so as to change the demographic character of the state.
As things stand the world and India can only sit and watch as the Chinese consolidate their grip over the Tibetan people. What is the solution? There appears to be none as the Chinese government on one pretext or another does not want to negotiate with the Dalai Lama. India and the USA are also weak as far as Tibet is concerned. Tibetan culture is totally suppressed and a curtain is drawn all over Tibet. Thus the road ahead is bleak and short of a complete collapse of communism in China, there is no light at the end of the tunnel for the Tibetans.
Ladakh Monasteries: Retaining The Age Old Buddhist Practices
Buddhist Monasteries are the key attractions to the tourists visiting the beautiful valley of Ladakh. Monasteries or Gompas are ancient structures, where Buddhist monks and nuns live, study and practice their religion. Almost all of these historic monasteries are situated in scenic locations, on hills and mountains. Tourists visit these places very frequently and admire the architecture and art collection here. The greatest concentration of major Buddhist monasteries or gompas can be found in the central Ladakh.
These main centres for worship, isolated meditation and religion teaching belong to either the Red Hat sect or the Yellow-Hat sect of Tibetan monasticism. Over twelve monasteries are situated near the Indus, out of which the Lamayuru is considered the oldest monastery. It has been a sacred site for the pre-Buddhist religion known as Bon. These Gompas are undoubtedly beautiful and splendorous, but are perched dangerously on the edge of craggy mountain faces or rocks. A few popular monasteries/gompas in Ladakh are:
-
Alchi
-
Namgyal Tsemo
-
Sankar
-
Shanti Stupa
-
Likir
-
Spituk
-
Cave Monastery
-
Thiksey
-
Stok Palace
-
Shey
-
Lamayuru
-
Phugtal
-
Leh Palace
-
Zongkhul
Apart from that, Phiyang, Hemis and Chemrey are a few other ancient monasteries that were founded under the patronage of members of the ruling Namgyal dynasty. It is suggested to cover your limbs and take off the shoes while entering the monasteries. Prior permission should be taken for photography inside the monasteries and drinking or smoking is stricly prohibited. A head is appointed in every monastery, who is called the 'Kushak', which literally means a 'Reincarnation'. Your tour to Ladakh monasteries showcases the rarest collection of Buddhist relics like thankas, murals, sculptures, scriptures, etc.

The parents of my Tibetan Terrier have hip scores of 5/6 and 8/7. Are these good scores for this breed?
My 10 month old Tibetan Terrier has just been diagnosed with hip dysplacia and is currently on anti inflamatories and will soon be undertaking hydrotherapy treatment. I have heard that this breed has an average hip score of 15 and to breed from them, the score should be well below this. His mother had a score of 15 so should she realistically have been bred with?
What country are you in?
I think they're different depending on where you're at (UK vs Australia)
ETA - Just found this using google:
http://www.vetrica.com/care/dog/hdscore.shtml
The hip score can be any number from 0-106. Lower is better. Dogs should only be bred from if their hip score is well below the breed average. So, for example, a score of 20 would be acceptable for a Clumber Spaniel, but unacceptable for a German Shepherd Dog.
