最後部份, 引用文件清單我就不翻了, 成嗎?
On November 28, 1997, the Dalai Lama told a Chinese (Han) in Dharmasala, "Should I return to Tibet, I will turn Tibet into a peace zone, with no army except a few police for necessity. Therefore we need protected by a strong China,as well as their material support. Though we may obtain assistance from other countries, however, if Tibet is a part of China, China shall be liable to assist us in supplies. In return we provide China Buddhist culture so that it will be for mutual benefit. There are some millions of Buddhists in China, and there will be more needs for Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is the best Buddhism,of course it is not the only religion. We respect other religions. Tibetan Buddhism is not just good for Tibetans, but for 1.2 billions of Chinese brothers and sisters as well, especially for young Chinese in rebuilding their spiritual belief. When Chinese Buddhists and other Chinese realise this, they will be actively involved in protecting Buddhist culture from being destroyed. If Chinese respect Tibetan culture and its environment, treating Tibetans as brothers and sisters, why shall we be independent and separate? It is because Iview Buddhist culture as more important than political status, therefore I seek for real autonomy of Tibet,not independence." (55)
In these two talks, the Dalai Lama accused the Chinese Government for destruction of Tibetan culture, religion and environment as usual. Much had been discussed previously on Tibetan culture and religion. The environmental issue has mainly been caused by boost of Tibetan population. Basically population boost is a common issue faced by all the nations in the World for environmental problem, a topic discussed in every United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. The United Nations even set up the Global Environment Facility in encouraging and assisting developing countries to control population. Scientists from different countries cry for birth control. When interviewed by the New York Times, the Dalai Lama himself said, "Population is a cruel reality. In India, due to religious tradition, some people have difficulty to accept birth control…. I think, the situation should be intervened from the beginning –
Birth control. Of course, on the whole, from a Buddhist perspective, abortion is an act of killing which is bad. However, it all depends on the circumstances. If the child will be born with a disease, or its birth will bring about serious problem for the parents,they can be exceptional cases." (56) He said in the 38th Uprising Anniversary Memorial that, "due to expansion of military base,various construction and population expansion etc., the environment is at risk." (57)
As previously mentioned, Tibet, though extensive, with the majority being covered with snow-capped mountains and rugged rocks, temperate desert soil and periglacial temperate frozen soil, cultivatable and pasture lands are limited.Because of the altitude and cold, aridity, scarcity of oxygen and gusty wind,productivity remains low. In 1980 Sun Hong-lei, Vice President, Chinese Academy of Science discovered in his visit to Tibet that the pasture was already over-grazed. I often saw Tibetans sold grassroots they dig out as firewood. This is the consequence of the Chinese Government's inability to enforce birth control among Tibetan peasants and herdsmen as it was intimidated by Western criticism. The Dalai Lama admits: excess population will ruin the environment, and birth control is a must. He continues blaming the Chinese Government for destroying Tibetan environment while accusing on the other hand the Chinese Government's demand for Tibetan residents to have only 2 kids is an"violation of human rights" and "genocide". This demonstrates him being hypocritical, insidious, sly and vicious.
International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) 1997 Report "Tibet: Human Rights and the Rule of Law" did the same. On one hand it criticised, "The Chinese Government prohibits Tibetan women give birth to more number of children than stipulated, but the quota is not as severe than that imposed on Han women. The implementation of this policy varies in a large extent depending on the location. For those exceeding the quota,measures that violate their legal right will be taken, e.g. fines, mandatory abortion and sterilization." It deliberately omitted the fact that the Chinese Government exempts Tibetan peasants and herdsmen from birth control, and instead, extend Chinese Government's birth control policy for urban population to cover all the Tibetans. On the other hand, it accused, "the most acute environmental destruction made by the Chinese is the diminishing of pasture, turning massive habitat for herds and wildlife into deserts." (58) By Chinese, it refers to Han people. Will Han people be herding or removing grass-roots in Tibetan pastures? Han people are not accustomed to Tibetan beef and mutton diet or the Tibetan butter churned tea.The deterioration of Tibetan pastures into deserts is purely a result of population explosion (of Tibetans). The Dalai Lama and the Western human rights advocates, making extensive propaganda, accused the Chinese Government's birth control on urban Tibetans as "genocide", deterring the Chinese Government from controlling the population of peasants and herdsmen; while in the meanwhile frame the Chinese Government for environmental catastrophe that was caused by explosion in Tibetan peasants and herdsmen population, what a weird catch 22?
The Dalai Lama's claim "Tibetan's Buddhism is the best Buddhism" is purely boasting. Let aside that he was never invited by Buddhist countries like Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Cambodia, and majority of Buddhists from Japan and Korea do not worship him, Han's Buddhists are not interested in him either. This is not surprising as the Dalai Lama does not know Chinese language nor did he study Chinese history (see previous article). Therefore he was not aware that Buddhism was introduced to Han territory way before Tibet. Chinese translation of Buddhist scriptures are the same if not better than Tibetan translation in volume and in quality and took place much earlier. History records show that in the year 2 BC, Visha (Notes: tribe in Central Asia, that might be related to Kushan Empire, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuezhi)Emperor's envoy Yichun to Chang'an (Notes: close to today's Xian, Shaanxi Province) and verbally dictated Futu Jing (Buddha’s Sūtra) to Jing Lu, a staff official of the Han Dynasty.In March 1988, Buddhist Association of China confirmed "Yichun's dictation" as the landmark for the introduction of Buddhism to China, and held a celebration in November 22 of the same year in Beijing for the 2000th anniversary of Chinese Buddhism. (59). Approximately 500 years after "Yichun's dictation", in the 5th century, it was said there was a treasure chest fallen on Tibet, containing Buddha statues,scriptures, pagoda etc. However, Tibet did not have its own language then and nobody knew Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit. (6th)It was until the 7th century when Nepalese princess Bhrikuti Devi and Tang Dynasty princess Wencheng each brought Buddha statue, Buddhist scriptures and talismans in their dowries when they married Songtsän Gampo, then Buddhism started to spread in Tibet. The Tibetan Government-in-exile also recognized this in their "Tibet: proving Truth from Facts", "The wedding to the Nepalese and Chinese princesses were of particular importance, because they played important roles in the spread of Buddhism in Tibet."(btw, what Princess Bhrikuti Devi brought was esoteric(Vajrayana) Buddhism,and the one that Princess Wencheng brought was exoteric (Mahayana) Buddhism.) In 645 BC, Xuanzang, the monk, brought back scriptures from India and conducted a translation project in Chang'an. 75 scriptures totalling 1,335 chapters were translated, which began large scale Buddhist scripture translation in mainland China. (61)Large scale scripture translation took place in Tibet in 775 BC when Songtsän Gampo built the Samye Monastery (bsam yas gtsug lag khang in Tibetan), more than 100 years after Xuanzang. (62) Chinese Buddhism is just as good as Tibetan Buddhism. Should Han believe Buddhism is of use in rebuilding their spiritual, they can consult Chinese Buddhist scholars instead.What do they need approaching the Dalai Lama for?
If Hans were aswhat the Dalai Lama hopes for devoting all efforts in chanting and worshiping Buddha, aiming at a better next-life, they would not have been able to develop technology and work wholeheartedly, producing massive products and wealth to raise Tibetans who cannot support themselves economically, and let Tibetans enjoy modern materialistic civilization without even a sweat, yet happily chanting, bowing Buddha for a better next-life.
The Dalai Lama told overseas Chinese students in America," In recent decades, there is a tendency for materialism in the economic reform to the socialist market economy, whether socialist or capitalist, which to a large extent destroys the spiritual world and moral values of China. A desert of spiritual and moral values is rapidly spreading in Chinese society, under which circumstances, Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy can bring millions of Chinese brothers and sisters in locating their spiritual destiny."(63) As we all know, the status of monks and nuns as public spiritual mentors severely dropped as the economy of Thailand, the Buddhist state, took flight with widespread money-worship, hedonism and secularism. This indicates modernization will definitely lead to the decline in Buddhism, a historical development which is not due to any conspiracy by the Communist Party, or avoidable by any Buddhist master or leader. Furthermore, the Han's culture is built upon pragmatic rationality, which by virtue reject irrational Tibetan Buddhism.This can be illustrated by the favorism played by emperors of Yuan and Qing Dynasties, while the general public were not convinced by Tibetan Buddhism. The Dalai Lama's promoting Tibetan Buddhism to Hans at the end of the 20th century,dreaming for nostalgia of "Mongolian Imperial Master", spiritual leader of 1.2 billion Hans, is just a vanity fantasy.
In April 1997 when the Dalai Lama met Chinese Democratic activists in Washington DC, he said, "There is no way Tibet can be independent politically or economically. Tibet can only rely one of its neighbours – China or India.Comparatively, China is a better choice." (informed by an attendee to the meeting.) He did not explain, but Dawa Tsering did release a bit of information. He said, "Tibet is in an embarrass position, located between two large nations, China and India, pressed and squeezed from both sides. The geographic location of Tibet predetermines that a choice has to be made. I believe China is a better choice over India,as Chinese sense of religion is rather mild, and will get along easier with Tibetans. Indians are strongly tied with religion belief, and inter-religion disputes, if any, will be severe. We have sensed it in India, some Tibetans hardly have any Indian friends after spending thirty to forty years in India." (64)
Buddhism long lost its glamour in India.Most Indians are Hindus, neighbour-joining with Caucasian race (Note: see http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Neighbor-joining_Tree.svg),having significant difference from Tibetans religion-wise and race-wise. The Dalai Lama once said,"As Buddhism was passed from India to Tibet,with it came many other elements with cultural significance. Therefore I have no doubt that India has more claim on Tibet's sovereignty than China."(65) After Tibetan settled in India,they found this simply was not so. Neither the Dalai Lama nor Dawa Tsering explained what do they mean by"rely on", probably nothing to do with religion – the Dalai Lama believes Tibetan Buddhism is the best Buddhism, what else does he need to rely on? It should be political and economic support. China is more able and more generous than India to expend on supporting Tibetans. The perfect deal for the Dalai Lama is:Chinese Government shall continuously raise Tibetans, yet they should also pass the administration of "Greater Tibet" back to him as well, plus Chinese Government should remove th 17 ethnic group, which accounts for over ahalf of the population of "Greater Tibet" out of the region (i.e.genocide), and finally, allowing him to preserve the right to declare independence any time. What a smart bargain.
To deceive worldwide media, the Dalai Lama can go any distance in formulating stories, we have covered quite a number, and there are a few more.
Dalai's autobiography said, "China installed a third of its nuclear weapon on Tibetan soil because Tibet is one of the world top uranium reserves. Apparently China wants to contaminate the majority of Tibet with radioactivity through its uranium exploration. In Amdo County, Northeast Tibet where I was born, there is a well known large Gulag (poster's notes: penal labor camp for Soviet political prisoners) with an estimated capacity to hold10 million people. (66) In his 1987 address to the US Congress for "Five Point Peace Plan", he also talked about China's nuclear weapon facility and nuclear waste disposal in Tibet.
His allegations were dismissed by the conference on Tibet: Religion, Conflict, and Cooperation held by the U.S. Institute of Peace in September, 1993. The report,which accused Chinese Government for violations of Tibetan human rights and sympathized Tibetan Independence, had to admit, "there had been rumour on disposal of nuclear waste in Tibet,purportedly coming from uranium mines in eastern Tibetan Plateau and nuclear facilities in central Tibet.However, these allegations had never been confirmed by any judge or international communities." (67) The total population of Qinghai Province is barely 4million but was alleged to have a prison camp with a 10 million capacity something even labour camp expert Harry Wu was not aware of. Who will believe such a myth? (According to the "1997-1998 Laogai Guidebook" published by the US Laogai Research Foundation run by Harry Wu, Wayuxiangka Farm, the largest penal labour farm in Gonghe County, Qinghai,holds only 11,134 persons.)
Other examples are:"some Tibetan children are forced to become slave labour" (68);"China proclaimed to eliminate Tibetan language in '15 year's time'", "a lot of Tibetan schools are just children's labour camps. Only about 1500 children actually receive proper education." (69); "Chinese top leaders want to have a Tibetan genocide" (70); "Chinese promotes what they call"segregation and cultural assimilation" which is a racial discriminating policy". (71) The first few are clearly false accusations, the last one is self-conflicting – if Hans want cultural assimilation with Tibetans, why do they segregate Tibetans from Hans?
The Dalai Lama also learns to play catch 22 game, accusing Chinese Government for leaving Tibetans in miserable, pitiful poverty, e.g. lack of medical care, education and electricity etc.; while on another instance, he blamed, "In May 1984,Chinese's Tibetan policy has changed remarkably. Hu Yaopong's proposal of cutting 85% of Chinese officials in Tibet was rejected, instead migrants were being encouraged. Under the banner of "development", 60,000 skill and unskill workers relocated to Tibet with terms of employment of wages, housing and vacation leaves offered by the Government." (73) Under Dalai's reign, there was hardly any modern clinic or school in Tibet (I define modern school as not just teaching languages, but science subjects like maths,physics, chemistry and biology). With the exception of Dalai Lama himself and a few closely related lords, nobody had any electric lighting. Therefore the Dalai Lama does not have any ground to blame Tibet's lack of medical care,education and electricity under Chinese rules. The "skill and unskill workers" he mentioned were exactly the engineering technicians,economists, medical staff, technical researchers, educators and their assistants responsible for the 43 engineering projects. Their missions were to build and run hospitals, schools and power stations to raise the living standard of Tibetans, but were labelled by the Dalai Lama as migrants aiming at Tibetan genocide. The Dalai Lama's villainy matches his arrogance.
The Swindle of Dalai Lama --- 5
The most ridiculous was on November 2, 1998, when he said on the "International Campaign for Tibet Conference", "Chinese Government has refused to recognized Tibet's unique culture." (74) As mentioned foregoing, Hu Yaopong's speech on Tibet in 1980 lavishly praised Tibetan culture, demanding extensive promotion and development of Tibetan culture, putting it as significant as the economic development, and calling it "duo development". Hu emphasized on the 2nd Tibet Project Meeting in 1984 that the uniqueness in Tibetan culture lied in its religion, again demanding extensive promotion and development of Tibetan culture. In 1984, Jiang Zemin held the 3rd Tibet Project Meeting and said, "we must be cautious in spreading the outstanding culture of Tibetan tradition." (75) As previously mentioned,the Chinese Government allocated 0.3 billion yuan in restoring 1,787monasteries, established a lot of Buddhist school, Tibetan researching institutes and publication on Tibetan studies. In 1987, "Regulation on the education, use and development of Tibetan language in TAR (draft)" was passed in the 5th meeting of the 4th People's Congressional Meeting of Tibetan Autonomy Region, which was implemented with due diligence. As of today, Tibetan radio and television broadcasts are bi-lingual (Chinese and Tibetan) in their operation, with specialized movie translation productions. Tibetan publications and books are seen everywhere in massive volume. The majority of elementary schools use Tibetan as the teaching language. Tibetan courses are offered in high schools and universities. The Chinese Government also established special office to collect, organize, study and publicize Tibetan cultural archives. Perhaps the Dalai Lama exhausted his list in blaming the Chinese Government, and can only resort to fabrications,which literally means he is at the end of his road.
