BANGALORE, India, 24 October 2020
Poor Sameera,
Out of much compassion and pity, I am writing this to you in a sincere attempt to help you take back your sanity, which you seem to have lost by selling your conscience (zameer) to CCP for a few pieces of bread.
Your post and tweets about His Holiness the Dalai Lama that surfaced recently clearly indicate some unmistakable lunatic symptoms that signal some serious underlying disorder requiring immediate treatment.
I understand a deficiency of ethics can lead to deadly diseases like prejudice and moral bankruptcy which are even deadlier than COVID, and you are reported diagnosed positive as evidenced from your extremely disturbing and nonsensical post on HH the Dalai Lama, which even your paying masters in Beijing don’t believe literally. Pathogens in this case are greed, selfishness, lack of responsibility to other’s rights, and insensitivity to others’ predicaments. You carry all these symptoms very visibly. But don’t worry. It is not incurable.
In general, we never address His Holiness directly with his title — “Dalai Lama” — without prefixing the honorific “His Holiness” before. But for your sake, I, with much guilt and regret, in this letter, may discount myself addressing him as the “Dalai Lama” alone at some selected places, hoping that doing so will help you better in removing your ignorance. I am forced to stoop low to match your lowly.
You have no idea what you have done actually — at least to your reputation, leave alone the larger world for the time being…! If you have read at least one or two books about His Holiness in life, I am sure you wouldn’t have stooped so low to the extent of selling your zameer for a few pieces of bread. The man who you sarcastically labelled as “World Most Loved Ex-Slave-Owner” is actually the hope and inspiration for millions of oppressed slaves who are suffering under the brutal rule of CCP and longing for a better tomorrow.
The real slave-owner, Beijing-based CCP, your paying master — the world’s biggest legitimized terrorist organization, responsible for the death of more than 45 million so far and still continuing the numbers (which amounts to more than that of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin put together), against which the rest of the free world is collectively fighting for the emancipation of millions from its clutches — seems to appear to you as a sun-like liberator. Blinded by your ignorance…! That doesn’t surprise me either…! One who has abandoned conscience and shame is capable of anything. And you have come up as one such this time…!
To educate you a little further, I must tell you that His Holiness is a man who has been bestowed with more than 300 international awards, the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, and honorary degrees from world-renowned universities — all in recognition of his lifetime global peace-building contributions which have wheeled the world closer to peace. Your sordid remark on the Dalai Lama, very unintelligently says that those renowned universities and international bodies have conferred recognition to an “ex-slave owner”, which serves no purpose other than making yourself a laughing-stock in front of the entire world. The very fact that you have been compelled to include the phrase “World’s Most Loved” while wording your derogatory remark (“World’s Most Loved Ex-Slave Owner”) on the Dalai Lama itself evidently speaks loads enough that you too don’t believe (within your dead conscience) in what you are saying. Because the world is not that much of a fool to love an “Ex-Slave Owner” the way it does.
I learned that you are a naturalized American citizen of Pakistani origin. By doing this nonsensical thing, you have further undermined the values and principles of the government of the US, and of Americans who not only believe in peace and human values, but also have acknowledged His Holiness’ peace-building legacy, with much thanks, by conferring on him the country’s highest civilian award, the Congressional Gold Medal, in 2007.
Far from upholding the constitutional values of the US — a duty that you owe as a citizen — you have disgracefully undermined it by making such irresponsible and cheap remarks on HH the Dalai Lama, the man who is highly revered by the very nation which has granted you nationality. You have made these derogatory remarks on His Holiness while living in USA, while enjoying the freedom and liberty of the USA, the country which believes the Dalai Lama to be a gifted peace icon — a view opposite to that of yours.
And also you have undermined the values of the great Islam and its founder Prophet Mohammad, the religion to which you claim you are affiliated. Islam is a great religion of peace, and Muhammad was one of the greatest Teachers the world has ever had. His teachings don’t approve of this kind of lowly and sordid conduct.
The Dalai Lama is the only non-Muslim world personality who withstood the world Muslim community in the post-9/11 twin tower attack era, by endorsing that Muslim communities, in general, are peaceful communities which cannot be represented by a few extremist groups — and in doing this, risking his own amicable ties with the US and other Western worlds. Many Muslim intellectuals and leaders have thanked the Dalai Lama for such a forward take offered in favour of the Muslim community.
Again, the only non-Muslim global personality, the Dalai Lama, in the case of the Rohingya genocide crisis, openly condemned a Burmese Buddhist fundamentalist group for carrying on the persecution of Muslims, which has invited much abusive rant from Buddhist extremists like Ashin Wirathu, a right-wing Burmese monk who orchestrated the persecution of Rohingya Muslims. All this the Dalai Lama did for Muslim communities, sacrificing his own already-earned credit and risking to earn potential gains. And Muslim communities are in general thankful for him. But this kind of sordid conduct of yours, again, brings much shame to the otherwise proud Muslim community, of which you are a disgraceful member!
What makes you so — infamously, disreputably, disgracefully, and negatively — popular this way around the world by your uncalled-for disgusting remark on the Dalai Lama is not because of anything great which lies in you, but because of the abundant greatness which lies in the man (HH DL) who you attempted to defame. You became infamously famous by abusing a sun-like great man whose legacy has benefited even you, much unknowingly under your ocean like the ignorance you live with.
Thank your luck that the folks whose sentiments your jibe has hurt happened to be Tibetan (and other Buddhist and non-Buddhist followers of HH Dalai Lama around the world) who are not only peace-loving people, but also capable of returning harm with compassion — the credit of which solely goes to the His Holiness’ unique compassion-driven upbringing through which all Tibetans have been cultured and raised.
Else, if it had been the sentiments of some others communities, then this would have been the end for you. And remember that your victims (we Tibetans) are capable of returning hurt with compassion and tolerance, again only because of the values taught by HH the Dalai Lama, the man you abused in exchange for some pieces of bread from Beijing. This way you are directly thankful to Dalai Lama for you still being able to roam and breathe freely, safe even after hurting our sentiments.
The Buddhist canon says it is better to have a negative relation with Buddha than not having any relation at all, while the best is to have a positive relation. Neutrality — neither a positive nor negative relation — is not advised. Given this as background, you are lucky to have established a negative relation with His Holiness this time, with this sinister affront made on him which will certainly benefit you positively later. Thank your ignorance, and blame it also!
And you should know that your defamation attempt against HH DL has earned you abundant love, compassion, and blessings from His Holiness in return, which is possible only in the case of HH Dalai Lama and none else in this entire world system.
Apart from your lowly living making, I also want to make people like you and your kind of creatures — paid running dogs of China who are tasked to execute covet maligning schemes designed by China to defame and tarnish the international stature and the soft-power influence of HH the Dalai Lama — understand that no matter how hard you try, all your attempts to defame His Holiness will remain futile as the case has been since the early 1990s, the time when China first started planting running dogs like you to reshape public opinion about Tibet and the Dalai Lama of particular geographic regions in favour of their political interests.
In a sincere attempt to help you become cured back to normalcy, I am recommending you read the two listed books below by His Holiness, reading which I am sure will help you transform yourself into a better and more responsible world citizen.
- Ethics for the New Millennium
- An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life
Help yourself by reading these two books at least ten times. Trust me — these two books are therapeutic in treating mental prejudice and in civilizing a moral bankruptcy case to a good extent, if not fully. I have recommended Ethics for the New Millennium because you lack ethics — drastically. And An Open Heart because your heart is too narrow and it needs to be broadened. I don’t blame you. But I do blame your ignorance driven negative emotions like greed and selfishness strongly embedded in your mental gamut which need to be flushed down immediately.
Reading these two books by His Holiness has helped fantastically even some CCP leaders in transforming themselves into better humans. Toh tu kya chez hai!
Your Sympathizer,
Kunchok Gyatso,
on behalf of all the Tibetan, Buddhist, and non-Buddhist followers of HH the Dalai Lama around the world. Get well soon, Shame-Ra!

Thank you Kunchok Gyatso la for writing an open to Sameera Khan. I think she has very poor knowledge about the religion, life contribution of HH the Dalai Lama towards the Global peace, human equality, environment and religious harmony. She is Muslim and did not know how CCP torture Muslim minority in China, they were put in concentration camps, no religious freedom. Why she is not talking about their own Muslim brothers and sisters. Instead writing a false narrative. She may be broke and need some money, CCP might have offered money to her as they did to one of the Indian Journalists (who was caught). FBI should investigate her too. It is also very disappointing that where the Tibetan Associations, like TYC, TWA, Buddhist Centres and other KYIDUK/TSOKPA, where the Tibetan Youth in USA, Canada and western countries. Speak up! No words from Office of Tibet, CTA. Shameful.
This guy called Adruk has been peddling his diatribe for quite sometime now. He is obviously a CCP pooch who is masquerading as a “Tibetan” to cover his tracks. He and the Paki slut are in the same boat. It’s the CCP outsourcing its defunct, worn out and totally discredited propaganda through the mouths of people like Sameer and Gyatruk (རྒྱ་ཕྲུག་) alias Atruk.
Tibet was a wonder land of mystery and spirituality that was the destination for adventures and dreamers. Most of all it was a land of peace and tranquility. On the other hand, the CCP and its adherents are mass murderers. Fifty million people were murdered by the CCP. It’s leader Mao the mass murderer was a pedophile who was romping with 13 year olds.
The PRC is a feudal State which seeks to provide economic prosperity in return for loyalty to the CCP. It’s also the most ruthless totalitarian state where the citizens are shorn of any right and are only slaves of the State.
The CCP enacts laws to protect its hegemony over the people but there is no protection of the people from the terror that is unleashed by the PRC on its citizens. We saw this in Hong Kong. The national security law in HK took away all the freedoms of the people in order to protect the hegemony of the CCP.
People have no right and are nothing but just numbers. Look at Taiwan. The people have voted a leader who wants independence from China but the CCP has no respect for the Taiwanese people’s verdict and attempts to discount Tsai as the leader of Taiwan!
On the other hand. Xitler is an unelected despot but he claims leadership over territories not even under its jurisdiction. Tibet was a nation whose people worshipped its leader like a Buddha and continues to worship to this day. There is no comparison with the CCP.
The Government of independent Tibet was not perfect. Tibetan education system was unique, unlike western system. It was a monastic education coupled with emphasis on calligraphy and grammar.
In the whole world there is no literature as rich as Tibet. There are an estimated ten thousand books written by Tibetan scholars. The Tibetan Government had opened English schools both in Lhasa and in Gyangtse but sadly Kuomintang spies conspired with the monk community and they resisted such schools.
Four boys were sent to Ruby school in England to receive modern education. The boys retuned from England and they introduced the first electricity to Tibet. Even the CCP sent its children abroad, what’s the problem?
The Dalai Lama ruled Tibet with benign grace. To this day, the Dalai Lama is universally revered. Acknowledging this the CCP, despite its propaganda to the contrary is desperate to install a “Dalai Lama” in order to use him as a pawn to rule Tibet.
The CCP is a master of fabrication and propaganda and the whole world knows it. You are a foot soldier of the CCP to peddle your lies and propaganda like the Paki Sameer Khan.
You don’t even know Tibetan history but you have the audacity to dish out Chinese propaganda statistics. Being a Buddhist country capital punishment was out of the question. The 13th Dalai Lama promulgated laws to protect even the wild animals!!!
The teacher starts with ཀ་ཁ་(Tibetan alphabet) calligraphy. Calligraphy was given immense importance. It was written on wooden plank called སྦྱང་ཤིང་ One has write on it again and again for months. Once the ཀ་ཁ་ཡིག་གཟུགས་ comes good, one learns ཚུགས་མ་ followed by ཚུགས་མ་ཁྱུག་ which is used to write letters for communication. Tibet had such schools everywhere. We had our own education…
S Khan regurgitating CCP propaganda from AL Strong Han Suyin et alia; almost word for word.
Like Tibetans there are Muslims under Chinese control. In East Turkistan mosques and Korans burnt, beards shaved, language suppressed and Muslim hearts broken while S Khan regurgitates Chinese propaganda word for word.
Thinking the enemy of my enemy is my friend, eh? Don’t let your hatred of Buddhism and Hinduism blind you to the truth.
If we are an independent country and keep electing kids like Lobsang Sangay and Kaydor, our country will become the poorest country in the world and then only their supporters will know what type of people they have elected. Right now we can beg here and there and brag about the money we got instead of ashamed. Right now most of the older generation people are worried more about the future of CTA than their own death after they saw the performance of Our Sikyong.
I think we will have to accept and acknowledge the historical fact of Gandhen Phodrang’s feudalistic system of Government that ruled Tibet with mandatory heavy taxes and capital punishment to the Tibetan public. 2 % of aristocratic families and 5 % of monasteries owned Whole Tibet. I have not seen schools, water supply, bridges, roads, hospitals for Tibetan public. Aristocratic family kids were sent to schools in England and India before the Chinese invasion. Common Tibetans can not write and read even their own language before 1959. After 1959, Indian Government funded for schools and settlements in India for refugees. We can not deny or dispute the historical facts.
Lots of education and roads and Chinese civilization in the concentration camps in East Turkistan; brought to us by the civilized folks who brought us footbinding and palace eunuchs! Still worshiping Mao the mass butcher of Chinese people!
Adruk Tenpa la, why are you making fool of yourself. Every society practiced feudalism in different form and shape. Feudalism is primarily about land ownership. Even today no individual owns land for such reason individual pays never ending property tax. It seems like you own the land but you keep paying for it. You own pair of shoes and you never pay again after initial purchase. This is true ownership. Even slavery existed today in different form and shape. It looks like no one is forced to work at minimum wage but ask anyone, do they really wanted work at minimum wage?
No one claims old Tibetan society was utopia. It was as good as or as bad as many other nations on this earth. Some part of America still exploited slaves at that time.
Good job Kunchok Gyaltso la. Well done. Thank you
I am sorry that centuries of foreign domination starting with Mongols, Turks, Manchus and Europeans have sought to extinguish the natural nobility of spirit and two of the greatest wealths: conscience and the ability to feel shame.
Every word you use above are false, untrue and exaggerated.
When the Chinese invaded Tibet in 1950 your leaders realized that Chinese had no connection to Tibetans and no knowledge of the Tibetan land.
What connection China had with Tibet was with a few foolish lamas and greedy aristocrats.
So Chinese Communist Party committed the ultimate sin: China elevated and gave positions and pay to Tibetan hereditary leaders to prop up Chinese occupation and rubber stamp Chinese Government edits.
You cannot deny or dispute historical facts.
China had great success in persecuting and destroying Buddhism and the aristocracy in China; in Tibet China was forced to buy and or terrorize the Tibetan establishment because Chinese occupation was foreign and hated.
There have been a lot of Tibetan martyrs who self immolated for the Tibetan freedom and dignity and most of them are “Tibetans who can not write and read even their own language before 1959.” Of course you are lying: great Tibetan leaders, saints and scholars were of humble origin. You may have heard of someone called Milarepa? Bapa Phuntsog Wangyal? They were aristocrats?
Tibetan nomads from Kham and Amdo to Tod Ngari Korsum were well versed in Tibetan cultural heritage, the myths and legends of Tibetan people and the mountains and valleys and rivers of Tibet and yes they could read and write. And sing and dance and practice something which may be alien to CCP: loving kindness even to beasts and insects.
Tibetan associations in the West and Sikyong candidates should come out and condemn Sameera Khan.
When Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche criticized HH the Dalai Lama, many organizations released official statements condemning the monk. However, when a foreigner made a much more serious allegation on Dalai Lama as well as the Tibetans, these organizations are nowhere to be found. RTYC New York and Netherland Bodrig Tsogpa released statements.
Now we are waiting for bodrig tsokpas in Canada, USA, France, UK, Belgium, Switzerland to release statements against this blesphemer Sameera Khan. It is strange that Tibetans jump at each other’s throats tigers at the slightest provocation, but shrivel up like a cat when a foreigner makes an accusation.
Are Tibetans afraid because Sameera Khan has an American passport? Otherwise, why keep quiet?
We Tibetans should rise up like we did with Lukar Jam, Jamyang Norbu, Orgyen Topgyal, Lobsang Sangay. I saw only Mila Rangzen release a statement condemning Sameera Khan on his channel Tibet Star. Why are other youtubers silent?
Great!!! What a nice and compassionate slap!!!
Highly appreciate your job… I completely share your views…
Absolutely unthinkable as to how has such insane lady got titled Miss New Jersey 2015 Lol!
I simply apprehend that dirty business could blind ignorants into much more empty-brained toy!
Pity on you Sameera Khan! No matter what world may say or do to His Holiness… He will forever shine as he owns the universe!
Most sensible thing a Tibetan citizen can do towards this Paki women troll is to open a Twitter account and report to block her Twitter account. I heard some Tibetans had already did this measure and this would be most effective in stopping her trolls.
Another thing a man by the name of Daniel Dumbrill acts as CCP troll by making degrading videos in YouTube on Tibet for some time now. I have already blocked his videos in YouTube and reported him to YouTube to stop his videos. You could also do the same so that these CCP paid trolls wouldn’t bother us anymore in the future. I heard this guy is from Toronto, Canada. So Tibetans in Canada has moral obligation to stop his CCP laced troll videos.
Then there is a Tibetan by the name of Jamyang from Tibet making videos in YouTube showing as if everything is normal under CCP rule in Tibet. These videos are more sophisticated and dangerous than crass CCP propaganda on Tibet for they deceive large number of unsuspecting foreigners and even Tibetan viewers. I would report this Jamyang too to YouTube for deceiving unsuspecting viewers.
It is sad and stupid on the part of YouTube by allowing CCP propaganda in its portal where as the company itself is banned in China.
Fantastic Article Kunchok Gyatso ?????? I wholeheartedly agree with what you have written, bravo ? ?? Thank you Tibetsun for publishing such relevant and wonderful article. Thank you Lobsang Wangyal la ?
I agree with you. ???
