The CCP-controlled Buddhist bureaucrat presided a symposium organized to support the campaign against the Dalai Lama and Xi Jinping’s notion of the “rule of law.”

In 2022, “Bitter Winter” denounced the “Three Consciousness Campaign” launched in Tibet to reeducate Buddhist monks and nuns. The “Three Consciousness” are national consciousness, citizen consciousness, and rule of law consciousness. In fact, “national consciousness” means supporting the Chinese rule in Tibet and condemning “separatism,” and “citizen” and “rule of law” consciousness means learning to obey without questions the CCP, the Central Committee, and Xi Jinping.
The campaign is not being very successful, and the CCP has mobilized in support its false Panchen Lama (the real Panchen Lama has been kidnapped in 1995 and has not been seen ever since).
Earlier this month, the imposter visited the prefecture-level city of Nagqu, in the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region, and presided over a “Three Consciousness Symposium.”
In his keynote speech, the false Panchen Lama stressed that Tibetan Buddhists should study and implement the documents of the 20th National Congress of the CCP. They should “align their religious beliefs with political beliefs,” “study Buddhism to match contemporary responsibilities,” accept the “strict governance of religion” program (i.e., the United Front supervision of their activities), and play a supportive role in the CCP campaigns. The “three consciousnesses” education, the false Panchen Lama said, should be linked with all daily religious activities.
Additionally, he concluded, Buddhist monks and nuns in Tibet must distance themselves from the Dalai Lama and oppose “separatist thoughts,” promote “national unity,” and “adapt Tibetan Buddhism to a socialist society.”
The false Panchen Lama also visited the “Rural Revitalization Nagqu Progress” exhibition. Speaking there, he congratulated “the swift progress due to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the active efforts of people from all ethnic backgrounds who have chosen to support, appreciate, and follow the Party’s direction.” He “urged the various ethnic groups to unite even more closely around the Party’s Central Committee, led by Comrade Xi Jinping.”
