The Tibet (in Tibetan :; Wylie : bod , IPA : [pʰøʔ] ; 西藏 ; pinyin : Xī Zang ) is a plateau region of Asia a disputed territory in the north of the mountain range of the Himalayas . It is inhabited by Tibetans and other ethnic groups such as the monpas and lhobas , as well as large minorities of Han and Hui Chinese. . Tibet is the highest region in the world, with an average elevation of 4,900 meters, and is sometimes referred to as "the roof of the world" or "the roof of the world" . [1]
The UNESCO and Encyclopædia Britannica [2] consider Tibet as part of Central Asia , while other organizations see it as part of South Asia . [3]
During its history , Tibet existed as a region made up of several areas sovereign , as a single independent entity [4] and as a state vassal under suzerainty or sovereignty Chinese . It was first unified by King Songtsän Gampo in the 7th century . Several times from the 1640s to the 1950s, a government nominally headed by the Dalai Lamas (a lineage of spiritual political leaders taken as emanations of Avalokiteśvara - Chenrezig , Wylie : [spyan ras gzigs] in Tibetan - the compassionate bodhisattva ) ruled over a large part of the Tibetan region. During much of this period the Tibetan administration was also subordinate to the Chinese Qing Dynasty empire .
In 1913 the 13th Dalai Lama expelled Chinese representatives and troops from the territory currently formed by the Tibet Autonomous Region . [5] [6] Although expulsion was seen as an affirmation of Tibetan autonomy, [7] this proclaimed independence from Tibet was not accepted by the Chinese government nor received international diplomatic recognition [8] and in 1945 the sovereignty of China on Tibet was not questioned by the United Nations . [9]
Following a blunt invasion and fierce battle in Chamdo in 1950, the Communist Party of China took control of the Kham region west of the high Yangtze River ; The following year the 14th Dalai Lama and his government signed the Seventeen Point Agreement . In 1959, together with a group of Tibetan leaders and their followers, the Dalai Lama fled to India , where he installed the Tibetan Government in Exile in Dharamsala . Beijing and this government in exile disagree as to when Tibet would have become part of China, and whether the incorporation of the territory into China is legitimate under international law . [10] There is still much debate about what exactly constitutes the territory of Tibet (see map at right), and what its exact area and population would be.
The history of Tibet began about 2,100 years ago,

In 127 BC a military dynasty settled in the Yarlung Valley and came to command the region, lasting for eight centuries. For hundreds of years "warmongers" Tibet has invested in neighboring lands.
This behavior changed in 617, when Emperor Songtsen Gampo - 33rd King of Tibet - began to transform the fief- militant civilization into a more peaceful empire. His reign lasted until 701, and his legacy was immense: he created the Tibetan alphabet ; wrote and established the Tibetan legal system (based on the moral principle that the protection of the environment and nature is valued ); favored the free religious exercise of Buddhism , and; built several temples (among them the Jokhang and Ramoche ).
His successors continued the cultural transformation, costing translations and building institutions. The next king of Tibet was Tride Tsukden (704 - 754), who left his son as successor, King Trisong Detsen .
From the seventh century the region became the center of Lamaism , a religion based on Buddhism, turning the country into a powerful kingdom. A former object of greed of the Chinese, in the seventeenth century Tibet is declared included in the sovereign territory of China. From there follows two centuries of Tibet's struggle for independence, conquered - temporarily - in 1912.
In 1950 China's communist regime ordered the invasion of the region, which is annexed as a province . The Tibetan opposition is defeated in an armed revolt in 1959. As a result, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso , the Tibetan spiritual and political leader, retreats to northern India , where he establishes a government of exile in Dharamsala . [15]
In September 1965, against the popular will of its inhabitants, the country became an autonomous region of China. Between 1987 and 1989 communist troops violently suppress any demonstration contrary to their presence. There are reports of human rights violations by the Chinese resulting from a policy of cultural genocide .
In August 1993 start up talks between representatives of the Dalai Lama , winner of the prize Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 , and the Chinese, but show up fruitless. In May 1995, the Dalai Lama announced the new Panchen Lama , 6-year-old Choekyi Nyima , the second in the country's religious hierarchy. The Beijing government reacts and claims to have recognized Gyaincain Norbu , also 6, the son of a member of the Communist Party of China , as the true embodiment of the Panchen Lama 's soul .
Ugyen Tranley , the Karmapa Lama, the third most important Tibetan Buddhist leader, recognized by both the Chinese government and Tibetan Dalai Lama followers, flees the country in December 1999 and seeks asylum from India . China is trying to negotiate its return, but fourteen-year-old Tranley criticizes the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
Tibet's independence cause gains strength in Western public opinion following the Chinese army's massacre of protesters in Tiananmen Square and the granting of the Nobel Peace Prize to Tenzin Gyatso , both in 1989. Dalai Lama is welcomed by chiefs which provokes protests among the Chinese. In early 1999, the Chinese government launched a campaign to spread atheism in Tibet. The flight of the Karmapa Lama causes embarrassment to China.
Tibet is still regarded by China as an autonomous Chinese region (Xizang).

"BLESSED IS THE NAME OF THE LORD, FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION"
Sources of information .
The main source for historical information about Paul's life is the clues found in his epistles and in the Acts of the Apostles . Acts recount Paul's career, but leave out several pieces of his life, as his alleged execution in Rome [4] .
Scholars such as Hans Conzelmann and theologian John Knox (not to be confused with John Knox of the XVI century), dispute the historical reliability of Acts [7] [8] . Paul's own account of his past is mainly in the Epistle to the Galatians . According to some scholars, the account of Paul's visit to Jerusalem in Acts 11 contradicts the account in the Epistles Pauline [4] . Others consider Paul's account in the epistles to be more reliable than those found in "Acts" [2] : p. 316-320 .
Names .
Paul's original name was "Saul" ( Hebrew : שָׁאוּל - Sha'ul ; Tiberian : Šāʼûl - "what was asked, what was prayed for" and translated into ancient Greek : Σαούλ - Saul - or Σαῦλος - Saul ) [9] [10] , the name he shares with the biblical king Saul , another Benjaminite and first king of Israel , who was succeeded by king David , of the tribe of Judah [6] [11] . In his own words, he was a Pharisee [and note] .
The use of "Paul" ( Greek : Παῦλος - Paulos ; in Latin : Paulus or Paullus - "short"; "short" [12] ) appears in "Acts" for the first time when he began his first missionary journey into unfamiliar territory. . In Acts 13: 6-13 Paul appears, along with Barnabas and John Mark , talking to Sergius Paul , a Roman officer in Cyprus who will be converted by him. Paulus was a Roman surname and some argue that Paul adopted him as his first name. [13] . Another theory, appointed by the Vatican says it was customary for the Jews of the time Romanized adopt a Roman name and the father of Paul probably wanted to please the family of Pauli [14] . Finally, there are still those who consider possible homage to Sergio Paulo and more likely to change is more related to an apostle's desire to distance themselves from the story of King Saul, who pursued David [15] .
Before the conversion .
In "Acts of the Apostles," Paul claims to have been born in Tarsus (in the province of Mersin in southern central Turkey ) and makes brief mention of his family. A nephew is mentioned in Acts 23:16 and his mother is mentioned among those living in Rome in Romans 16:13 . It is also here that the apostle confesses that "Saul laid waste the church, entering into the houses, and dragging men and women into prison." ( Acts 8: 3 ) [note f] .
Although born in Tarsus, he was raised in Jerusalem "at the feet of Gamaliel " [nota r] , who is considered one of the greatest teachers in the annals of Judaism "and whose balanced counsel ( Acts 5: 34-39 ), asking that the Jews contain the fury against the disciples, contrasts with the temerity of their student who, after Stephen's death , set out in a hounding pursuit of the "saints" [note g] .
Conversion and its mission .
Main article: Conversion of the Apostle Paul
Paul's conversion can be dated between the years 31 and 36 [16] [17] [18] by the reference he made in one of his epistles [4] . According to the "Acts", his conversion ( metanoia ) occurred in the "road to Damascus" where he claimed to have had a vision of the risen Jesus that left him temporarily blind [note h] .
Post-conversion testimony .
In the opening verses of the Epistle to the Romans , Paul gives us a litany of his own apostolic claim and post-conversion convictions about the resurrection of Christ.
His own texts give us some idea of what he thought of his relationship with Judaism . While on the one hand he was critically, both theologically and empirically, of the claims of Jewish moral superiority or lineage [nota s] , on the other he strongly defended the notion of a special place reserved for the children of Israel [nota t] .
He further stated that he received the "good news" not from anyone, but by a personal revelation of Jesus Christ [note i] . Therefore, he understood himself independent of the Jerusalem community [2] : p. 316 - 320 (possibly in the Upper Room ), although he claimed his agreement with her on the content of the Gospel [nota j] . What is most striking about this conversion is the change in thinking that has occurred. He had to change his mind about who the Messiah it was, and particularly, to accept the then absurd idea of a crucified Messiah. Or perhaps the most difficult was the change in their views on Jewish superiority. There are still debates about whether Paul already was considered as the vehicle of evangelization of the Gentiles at the time of conversion or if it occurred later [19] .
Early years of ministry .
After his conversion, Paul went to Damascus, where the "Acts" state that was healed of his blindness and baptized by Ananias of Damascus [20] . Paul states in 2 Corinthians 11:32 that it was in Damascus that he narrowly escaped death, then went first to Arabia and then back to Damascus [note u] [21] . This Paul's journey to Arabia is not mentioned anywhere else in the New Testament and some authors believe that it has in fact traveled to the Sinai to meditate in the wilderness [22] [23] . He describes in Galatians how, three years after his conversion, he traveled to Jerusalem, where he met James the Just , and stayed with Simon Peter for 15 days [note v] .
The account in Galatians goes on to state that fourteen years after his conversion he went back to Jerusalem [note w] . It is not known exactly what happened in this period, known as "unknown years," but both Acts as the Galatians give us some clues [24] . At the end of this period Barnabas went to meet Paul and brought him back to Antioch [note x] . The author FF Bruce suggested that the fourteen years can be counted from Paul's conversion instead of his first visit to Jerusalem [25] .
When a great famine occurred in Judea [26] Paul and Barnabas journeyed to Jerusalem to deliver financial aid from the Antioch church [27] . According to Acts, Antioch had become an important center for the faithful after the dispersion of Christians that followed the martyrdom of Stephen [2] and it was there that the followers of Jesus were first called Christians [ note k] .
First mission trip .
In Acts three of Paul's trips are reported: the first, led first by Barnabas, took Paul from Antioch to Cyprus , then through Asia Minor ( Anatolia ) and back to Antioch. In Cyprus, Paul faces and blinds the magician Elimas , who was criticizing his teachings to the proconsul Sergius Paul . From this point on, it is now called Paul and appears as the leader of the group [28] . When they arrived in Perge , John Mark , who accompanied the group, returned to Jerusalem and the two went to Antioch in Pisidia , Paul gives a long speech and converts many, but the group ends up expelled from the city ( Acts 13 ). At Iconium they were again driven out and went to Lystra , where they were confused with the Roman gods Jupiter and Mercury after Paul healed a lame . Because of the Jewish intrigue , Paul was arrested and stoned, but survived and, with Barnabas, went to Derbe . From there, they returned through the same cities again to reinforce the newly founded communities and ended their journey in Antioch ( Acts 14 ).
Second mission trip .
Council of Jerusalem .
Paul departed for his second trip from Jerusalem, where the council was being held with the other apostles in which the obligation of circumcision was withdrawn. Most scholars agree that there was a vital meeting between Paul and the Jerusalem church sometime between the years 48 and 50, [4] described in Acts 15: 2 and generally understood to be the same event mentioned by Paul in Galatians. 2: 1 [4] . The main question discussed there was whether or not converted Gentiles needed to be circumcised, as reported in Acts and Galatians. Paul claims in his epistle that it was at this meeting that Peter, James and John accepted Paul's mission to the Gentiles [29] .
In order to bring the outcome of the council to Antioch, the faithful held an election to choose two messengers to accompany Paul and Barnabas on this mission. The elect then were Silas and Judas, "called Barsabá" [nota y] .
Paul, Barnabas, Judas, and Silas then departed from Jerusalem taking the decrees of the apostles to the faithful in Antioch and the Roman provinces of Syria and Cilicia . Arriving in Antioch, they fulfill their assigned mission, with Judas returning to Jerusalem and disappearing from history, while Silas remains in the city [nota z] .
Paulo and Silas .
In Antioch Paul and Barnabas had a hard discussion about whether to take John Mark with them. In Acts 13 , it is mentioned that the boy had already left them on a previous trip to return home. Paul believed that he was not yet ready for this kind of evangelism , so he and Barnabas decided to separate. Barnabas ended up taking John Mark with him to Cyprus and Silas joined Paul [30] .
Paul and Silas traveled to several different cities, such as Tarsus, Derbe and Lystra (all in Asia Minor ). In the latter, they met Timothy , a disciple who had a good reputation, and decided to take him with them. In Philippi ( Greece ), a mob urged by men dissatisfied with the exorcism of a slave who gave his masters much profit from their divinations rushed against the missionaries, flogging and arresting Paul and Silas. After a miraculous earthquake , the prison gates opened and the two were able to escape, which in turn led to the jailer's conversion [note a1]. They then proceed to Berea , from where Paul heads to Athens , leaving Silas and Timothy there [note b1] . In the Greek capital, Paul preaches in the Areopagus against the many idols he encounters, converts Dionysus the Areopagite and departs [note c1] .
Around 50 to 52, Paul spent 18 months in Corinth [4] , where he met Timothy and Silas again. The reference in Acts to the proconsul Gallium allows us to infer the date (see Gallium Inscription [4] ). There he worked with Silas and Timothy [4] and met Priscilla and Aquila , who became faithful believers and assisted Paul in his missionary journeys. The pair followed Paul and his companions to Ephesus, and the group stayed there to start what would be the strongest and most faithful Christian church of that time, an important center of Christendom from the year 50. On 52, He left for Caesarea Maritima , passed by. Jerusalem and finally arrived in Antioch [30] .
Third mission trip .
Paul began his third missionary trip across the region of Galatia and Phrygia to strengthen faith and teach the faithful, and to rebuke those who were in error. When he arrived in Ephesus , he stayed there for just under three months and performed a series of miracles, such as healings and exorcisms . After provoking a revolt in the city, the apostle went to Macedonia [31] , passing again through Corinth, where he remained for three months. When he was ready to return to Syria , he changed his mind about a plan that the Jews had made against his life, then returned to Macedonia and from there to Troas , where he raised the young Eutychus after he fell three stories and was " taken up dead" ( Acts 20: 9 ) [32] . Paul's journey, which was intended to arrive in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost (May-June), continued through Assos , Mytilene , Chios , Samos, and Miletus ( Acts 20 ). The hard journey also passed through Kos , Rhodes and Patara , where Paul embarks on a ship bound for Tire in Phenicia. After seven days in the city, Paul's group heads to Ptolemaida , Caesarea , where they visit Philip the Evangelist , and finally Jerusalem ( Acts 21 ).
Although Paul wrote about a visit to Illyria , he was referring to what we now call the Greek Illyria, [33] part of the Roman province of Macedonia, where today Albania is presently [34] .
Trip to rome .
Main article: Paul's trip to Rome
Paul and his companions then proceeded to Rome on what was probably the last of their missionary journeys in 60 . The trip began in Jerusalem, where the brothers were received in celebration. There Paul was beaten and nearly killed, arrested and sent to Caesarea Maritima , where he was detained for about a year and a half. He was transferred to Rome after appealing to Caesar , a right he had to be a Roman citizen , realizing that he would not receive fair judgment from his people. Paul then went to preach in the imperial capital [35] .
The Incident in Antioch .
Despite the agreement found at the Jerusalem Council, as Paul understood, the apostle relates how he later publicly confronted Peter in what became known as the "Antioch Incident" because of his reluctance to dine with Gentile Christians in Antioch. [36] .
Writing later about the incident, he reports that he said to Peter and the rest of the people, "If you, as a Jew, live as a Gentile, and not as a Jew, how do you make Gentiles to live like the Jews?" ( Galatians 2: 11-14 ). . Paul also mentions that even Barnabas, his traveling companion until that time, sided with Pedro [36] [note l] .
The end result of the incident remains uncertain. The Catholic Encyclopedia states that "Paul's account of the incident leaves no doubt that Peter saw justice in the reprimand . " In contrast, the work "From Jesus to Christianity" of L. Michael White , claims that "the confrontation with Peter was a complete failure, a political bravado, and Paul soon left Antioch as persona non grata , never to return" [37 ] .
