:50:02
Reting Rinpoche
thought he could return as regent.
:50:07
This was no longer possible,
Holiness.
:50:09
There was an attempt
on Taktra Rinpoche's life.
:50:13
Really?
:50:15
Reting was arrested. The Sera Monks
fought today on Reting's behalf.
:50:22
The monks have guns?
:50:24
In this case, yes, Holiness.
:50:27
I didn't know monks had guns.
:50:30
No, of course not, Holiness.
:50:35
Where is Reting Rinpoche now?
:50:38
He is imprisoned here
at the Potala, Holiness.
:50:40
There is a prison
in the Potala?
:50:44
There has always been
a prison here, Holiness.
:50:52
I think there are some things
we need to change here in Tibet.
:50:58
- We will have tea, please, Pompo.
- Yes.
:51:02
- Were you hurt, Taktra Rinpoche?
- I am fine, Kundun.
:51:07
I am old
and too tough to kill.
:51:16
Now, tell me about China.
:51:20
Ah, yes. Again, a very
complicated situation, Holiness.
:51:25
Your Holiness, the Chinese are once
again trying to convince the world...
:51:30
that Tibet belongs to them.
:51:32
- Tibet is Tibet.
- For a long time, Holiness,
:51:35
we have agreed to disagree.
:51:37
We knew,
and we knew that they knew.
:51:41
Now, they are
trying to rewrite history.
:51:47
How unfortunate.
:51:53
Why don't we ask all
the Chinese living here to leave?
:51:55
If there are no Chinese in Tibet,
we cannot be a Chinese region.
:51:59
Very good, Kundun.
