Tibetischer Arzt wegen Online-Beiträgen über den Dalai Lama zum zweiten Mal verhaftet

Am 27. Februar wurde ein tibetischer Mönch, der zugleich der Leiter des Hospitals des Klosters Mura im Bezirk Machu in der Tibetisch-Autonomen Präfektur Kanlho, Provinz Gansu ist, zum zweiten Mal festgenommen.

Die Beamten des Public Security Bureau (PSB) des Bezirks nahmen den 50jährigen Khedrup fest, als er gerade seine persönlichen Gegenstände, die bei seiner ersten Verhaftung konfisziert worden waren, im Büro des PSB abholen wollte. Sie forderten den Mönch auf, sein Mobiltelefon und andere Sachen an sich zu nehmen und in Laienkleidung hereinzukommen. Später wurde er im PSB Büro in Haft genommen.

Über zwei Monate sind seit seiner erneuten Festnahme vergangen, aber seine Familie weiß immer noch nicht, wo sich Khedrup befindet. Das Bezirks-PSB hat die geheime Verhaftung des Mönches weder bestätigt noch Gründe dafür angegeben. Nach tibetischen Quellen vor Ort beschuldigen die chinesischen Behörden Khedrup, Unterweisungen des Dalai Lama auf sozialen Medien verbreitet zu haben. Außerdem habe er Blogs verfaßt, in denen er Sympathie für die aus Larung Gar vertriebenen Mönche und Nonnen zeigte und sich zu religiöser Freiheit und kulturellen Rechten bekannte. Es wird ihm auch vorgeworfen, ähnliche von anderen Tibetern verfaßte Beiträge Online gestellt zu haben.

Khedrup wurde schon einmal im Dezember 2016, von der “Einheitsfront“, der Abteilung der KP, die für die tibetischen Belange zuständig ist, verhaftet. Am 13. Dezember 2016 wurde er etwa um 11 Uhr aus seiner Wohnung im Kloster abgeführt. Bis zu seiner Freilassung am 21. Januar 2017 wußte niemand etwas über seinen Verbleib. Als Tseten, ein Verwalter des Klosters, und Mura Gyapa, ein Arzt des dortigen Hospitals, beim Bezirkshaftzentrum des PSB nach Khedup fragte, wollte dieses keine Auskunft über den Aufenthaltsort des Mönches geben. Allmählich verbreitete sich die Nachricht über Khedrups Verschwinden, und einige Tibeter gingen zum Büro des PSB und forderten Auskunft über ihn. Die PSB-Beamten gaben dann zu, daß Khedrup von der Einheitsfront festgenommen worden war, stritten jedoch ab, irgend etwas über die Gründe für seine Festnahme zu wissen.

Khedrup war 2012 und 2014 auf Pilgerreise in Indien und Nepal gewesen. In Indien legte er die Gelong- (Mönchs-) Gelübde ab und in Nepal begab er sich für einige Monate in die Abgeschiedenheit. Bei seiner Rückkehr nach Tibet verdächtigten die Behörden ihn politischer Absichten und verhörten ihn wiederholt. Schließlich wurde er unter polizeiliche Überwachung gestellt.

Khedrup wurde 1967 in der Gemeinde Mura geboren. Als er 13 Jahre alt war, starb seine Mutter Bhelko und er wurde von seinem Vater Khelko getrennt. In jungen Jahren machten er und seine Schwester Schweres durch, als seine Familie wegen der großen Viehherden, die sie als Nomaden besaß, gedemütigt und drangsaliert wurde. Mit 14 Jahren trat er in das Kloster Mura ein, wo er in buddhistischer Philosophie unterrichtet wurde. Später wechselte er in das Kloster Labrang Tashikyil über, um Poesie und Astrologie zu studieren. Nach Vollendung seiner Studien kehrte er nach Mura zurück, um beim Wiederaufbau des Klosters, das während der Kulturrevolution zerstört worden war, mitzuhelfen. Er begleitete mehrere Positionen in dem Kloster, so diente er als Abt, Disziplinär, Verwalter, Gesangsmeister und Lehrer.

Zur Zeit seiner Festnahme war er der Direktor des Klosterhospitals von Mura. Er ist auch ein sehr guter Tierarzt. Erfolgreich behandelte er kranke Tiere und stand der Nomadengemeinde in Machu bei.

Missing the Tashi Kyil Buddhist monks and their incredible medicine. ☸️ ❤️This is a sand mandala they created when they were last in Frankfort (they’ve been here 3 times since 2012 from northern India- such an amazing honor and blessing).✨ The sand mandala is an amazing representation of impermanence; the amazing truth that nothing is constant. ✨Greek philosophers such as Heraclitus in 500 BCE as well as Chinese sages have known for thousands of years- the only constant is change. With the sand mandala, the monks create it over a week, and it is rich with meaningful symbols and shapes, and at the end of the week they perform a beautiful ceremony and let the sand and their amazing creation go in the river. Something we can all use at a time like this- what we create is beautiful and rich. We can appreciate it in the moment, and allow change when it is time. Because, as we all know, the only constant is change.🧚🏿‍♀️✨�� #thelightclinic #tashikyil #tashikyilmonastery #buddhism #buddhistmonks #sandmandala #impermanence #theonlyconstantischange #wellness #holistichealth #bodypositivity #onebodyonemindonesoul #bodymindsoul #wellness #spiritualhealth #health #healing (at Frankfort, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD43errAndR/?igshid=4sb95t9h4a8a

Come this Sunday to learn one last time from the Tibetan Monks before they head back to India! Jinpa and Lobsang will be at The Light Clinic this Sunday from 10:30a-Noon and 2:30-4p teaching meditation, chanting, and giving a short dharma talk. If you didn’t see our e-newsletter, the rest of the Tibetan Monks went back to India in April. Jinpa got injured on a horse (to read more about the incident and recovery click the link below or in Insta bio.) and he and Lobsang have stayed until he is healed enough to fly home. Their bills have been amazingly covered from the UK Hospital and Cardinal Rehab Center, and the only remaining cost is for the original ambulance ride of $1,268. We are using this Sunday as a way to get one more chance to learn and experience these beautiful people, as well to fundraiser to pay for this last bill. Please come to one or both events on Sunday!

Such a deep honor and privilege to have the Tashi Kyil Monks join us in ceremony, art, food, blessings, yoga, lectures and fun over this past week. Thank you to everyone who came out to experience them and all of their goodness. The donations you give help supports their Northern India monastery for the coming years, and is vital to allow them to continue their work. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Hopefully we can get them back in 2 years when they make another US tour! Until then, here is a photo of the finished sand mandala, as well as the closing ceremony where they sweep away the sand and return it to the earth. The last photo is the monks with our new Buddha art downtown. Spread the love. The compassion. The understanding. The growth. The learning. And, always, World peace. #tashikyil #buddhistmonks #tibetanmonks #sandmandala #worldpeacemandala #sandart #monksandbuddha #frankfortky #thelightclinic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6t4bWAQtu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fenzc00r4hh

Amazing Tibetan dinner last night with the Tashi Kyil Buddhist Monks! Come to Paul Sawyier Public Library today to see the finishing of the sand mandala and Final Ceremony beginning at 5p. At the final ceremony, they are in traditional garb and chant while sweeping up the sand painting they created over the previous 4 days. An amazingly powerful act in impermanence and transformation. They then walk the sand to the river, where they let it go back to the earth. Deeply moving and profound. Come! You won’t regret it. #tashikyil #paulsawyierpubliclibrary #buddhistmonks #tibetanmonks #sandmandala #sandpainting #tibetanfood @psplib #thelightclinic (at Frankfort, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt38fSrgJNf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pyiph3wndkeb
