Apparent;y Tibetan anger is also fueled by the success of Han Chinese shop owners, who are often better educated and entrepreneurial. This raises two issues. First: why has the Dalai Lama not ordered the many thousands of Tibetan priests to educate their flock to the level where they can compete economically with the Han Chinese (leave no Tibetan child behind!)? Second: what might be the future of a young Tibetan under the Llama’s theological governance? Apparently blissful ignorance, submission, and poverty. All of this was already noted by the two Austrian prisoners of war who escaped their prison in India, made it to Lhasa in the late 1940’s, and published a book about their experiences with Llamaism.
