Image description

A Tibetan Buddhist monk (L) supports his senior as they walk through a narrow passageway in the Jokhang Temple which is the spiritual heart of Lhasa June 24. The 1300-year-old golden-roofed temple was built to commemorate the marriage of the Tang dynasty princess Wen Cheng to King Songtsen Gampo, and houses a pure gold statue of the Buddha Sakyamuni brought to Tibet by the princess. The World Bank tried on Thursday to defuse one of its most bitter disputes in years as it approved a $160 million loan to China that has angered its biggest shareholders and outraged Tibetan activists. The loan is to be used in part to resettle 58,000 poor Chinese farmers to an area where Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, was born. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the failed uprising by the Dalai Lama and his followers against the Chinese Rule. ASW/DL/AA
