Simon:

Actually, you are wrong and clueless. You have no idea about the Tibetan contribution to our society. May be you should take a walk in Boudha, Swayambhunath and talk to people around there. In Boudha alone, you will find over 60 monastries large and small. In Swayambhu, you will find another 30-40 monastries. There are more in Pharping, Namo Boudha, Budhanilkantha and many other places. Chances are 80-90 percent of these are started by Tibetan Lamas. In each monastries, you will find at least 30-40 monks. Some monastries have monks upto 400. Most of the monks are poor Nepali as their parents cannot afford to send them to school. Do you know how hard these chief Lamas work so that they can maintain a good monastic system, feed and train those monks in their monastries.  

Think positively and think of monastry as an economic engine. Do you know what it takes to run the business and what kind of support and value added jobs it creates. Similarly,

I dont know if you got a chance to read one of the thread where another dude was complaining about Tibetans building huge monastries on top of all the hills around Kathmandu.

First of all, Dharmsala has nothing to do with those well known Tibetan Buddhist teachers who came to Nepal after 1959. I can give you few examples like Tulku Urgyen, Jatral Sangye, Sakya Rimpoche, Digo Khentse, Dudjum Rimpoche. These teachers have no connection with Dharmsala other than that they are Tibetan. Because of their hardworks in reviving Dharma and relentless effort to preach Dharma all over the world that Nepal is known today as Buddhst Center of Learninng.

You should know that Buddhism was in a death and declining stage before 1960s because of heavy favorism of Hindu State. I am sure you  know it very well that OFFICIALLY NEPAL CALLS ITSELF HINDU STATE, but when going overseas, they call Nepal as A LAND OF BUDDHA. Basically, Buddhism is used as a Begging Bowl. Gov't did not do any sh-t in Lumbini. All those donations that came in the name of Lumbini are gone

Carpets in early 90s used to bring over 200 million US$. Now dont tell me that is not a lot of money. Unfortunately, export has fallen off from the pick of 3 million m2 to less than 1 million m2 in the last 15 years. That is because our government couldn't defend the bad publicity India was accusing Nepal of using Child Labor and other cheap practises. For your information Jawalakhel Refugee Camp is the first modern carpet factory established outside Tibet with the help of Red Cross. It is still in operation and quite a tourist attraction. If you are not convinced, you should watch Hare Ram Hare Krishna movie and you will see  how the factory was in the late 60s.

People practised Buddhism in Nepal earlier than in Tibet. However, Shah and Rana rulers almost wiped out Buddhism from Kathmandu. May be you have not heard of massacare of  Newari Budhdist pujari by Ranas during their time. Why don't you go and ask some Newari Buddhist elders. It was those Tibetan origin people ( like Sherpa, manange, etc)inside Nepal along the border who practised Vajrayana Buddhism that kept the tradition going. Other than that , some of Newari community kept the tradition going. It was those Tibetan teachers who revived the Vajrayana Buddhism in Nepal. One of my newari friend even told me that he found in Singha Durbar Library a Newari translation of famous Tibetan Buddhist Book (18th century) called "Words of my Perfect Teacher." 

It seems like you gotta lot to educate yourself about Nepal and Buddhism. My point is you gotta appreciate good things others have done, whether they are Nepal or someone else. All these Tibetans are asking for us is their right to protest and express. After all, didn't we start Jan Andolan II to defend our fundamental rights.
