I believe there is enough left of Tibet for it to be reborn in the near future. I believe great Light will be born in Tibet and India in the near future that will completely transform the East into the Light.

Yes, it's looking a little sad for now, but it's still there and it's traditions live on alive and well behind closed doors. Most importantly, as you say WaitinginWings, they have not been able to take Tibet out of the hearts of it's people!
