ABOUT THE OCCUPATION OF TIBET
At the time of its invasion by troops of the People's Liberation Army of China in 1949, Tibet was an independent state in fact and law.

ABOUT OM MANI PADME HUM
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect -- it is often carved into stones and placed where people can see them. - from www.dharma-haven.org/tibetan/meaning-of-om-mani-padme-hung.htm
