The Dalai Lama introduced a tax on almost everything, even the ears. That is, those who wanted his ears to remain had to pay the tax, otherwise they would be chopped off.
Many slaves had their eyes gouged out or their legs chopped off, not because of disobedience, but for safety reasons. Such slaves could perform a certain type of work, but were not dangerous for their masters (since the number of slaves was huge). Trafficking in slaves of boys was a big profit.
Tibetan boys were usually taken from peasant families and sold to monasteries, where they were trained as monks
Once in the monastery, they remained attached to it for the rest of their lives. Monk Tashi-Tsering reports that peasant children were usually sexually abused in monasteries. He himself was repeatedly raped, starting at the age of 9. The monasteries signed their children up for lifelong service as domestic servants, dancers and soldiers.
Attitude towards slaves

There is a known case when the master sent a slave to a remote village on an errand. He did not have time to return before dark and spent the night in the field. The field turned out to belong to some local landowner and he demanded money from the slave for the night. Naturally, he had no money and then, as punishment, his hand was cut off.
When he went back to the owner, weakened, the latter, angry that a healthy, good slave had become disabled, ordered to cut off his other hand.
Serfs were taxed on marriage, the birth of each child, and on each death of a family member
They paid taxes on planting trees in their backyards and on keeping animals. There were taxes on religious holidays, public dancing and drumming, and even imprisonment and release from prison were taxed.
Those who could not find work paid the tax for being unemployed, and if they went to another village in search of work, they paid the travel tax. If people could not pay, monasteries lent them money at 20-50% (and yes, the first and largest usurers and slave owners were always churches and religious organizations, not Masons and Jews).
Debts were inherited from father to son, from grandfather to grandson. Debtors who were unable to pay off their obligations became slaves.

Buddhists, until 1960, cut off the legs of slaves and flayed the skin from children and adults, legally used pedophilia and child trafficking.
1960 Karl, 58 years ago. This is when the civilization of the atheists launched astronauts to the moon.
Tibet until 1959 was an elementary theocracy with all the signs of fascism inherent in theocracy.
The famous journalist Vsevolod Ochinnikov, who visited Tibet in the 50s, recalls:
“It was explained to me that the Red Hats sect has long been developing in young lamas the ability to telepathic contacts. To improve the "roaming" of such a connection, a cruel custom was once used. A teenage lama was placed under the cornerstone of each new monastery building. The young man was introduced into a state of "samadhi", similar to a lethargic sleep, and without his knowledge they forever covered the sleeping person with a stone slab.
They say that, just as a horse smells the grave of its owner, who was buried several years ago, the corpses of young lamas emitted radiation that made it easier for telepaths to reach the desired object. In 1990, I spoke in Lhasa with a professor of theology at the University of Tibet. Given as a child to the Ganden Monastery, he was chosen for this sad fate. But he fled, warned by his mentor, who took pity on his disciple"
Day of Occupation of Spiritual Tibet by Chinese Communities
"Day of the Liberation of Tibetans from Serf Serfdom" is an official holiday in the Tibet Autonomous Region of the PRC, celebrated on March 28 to commemorate the abolition of the "feudal serf system" in Tibet in 1959.
On March 10, 1959, an "anti-Chinese rebellion" began in Tibet. On March 28, 1959, the PRC authorities announced the dissolution of the Tibetan government and conducted a large-scale military operation to suppress the uprising. As a result, the 14th Dalai Lama and tens of thousands of other Tibetans fled to India. In the course of subsequent reforms, hundreds of thousands of serfs were freed, accounting for up to 90% of the local population.
