China's Secret War in Lumbini: An in-depth perspective from a Tibetan activist. Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, a sacred site for millions of Buddhists and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is stuck in a geopolitical struggle. But this isn’t just about land, it’s about ideology, power, wealth and manipulation. This documentary is a tip of the iceberg but it attempts to unveil the hidden forces shaping the future of Lumbini and to uncover how an atheist regime is using this holy site as a tool for advancing their “Buddhist Soft Power Corridor”, a strategy that has profound implications not just for Buddhism, but for the world order. ** A must-watch for anyone concerned about the future of this Buddhist heritage and Nepal's cultural independence ** LINK: "China controls reincarnations of Tibetan lamas in occupied Tibet": Unfortunately, I can’t find the full video.
