鼓吹暴力只能使達賴集團加快覆滅

■ 益多

今年以來，有的省藏區(qū)個別地方發(fā)生幾起自焚和打砸搶事件。達賴集團再度興奮起來，極力渲染藏區(qū)“局勢緊張”，先是2月8日發(fā)動“全球燭光夜活動”進行“聲援”；繼而威脅全體藏人“不過藏歷新年”，更游說西方國家派“真相觀察團”到藏區(qū)“調(diào)查”。隨著3月到來，達賴集團照例開始鼓吹新一輪“西藏人民起義”，期盼藏區(qū)“將出現(xiàn)更多流血事件”。雖然這一系列舉動并沒有什么新意，境內(nèi)外響應(yīng)者寥寥，但其中顯露達賴集團分裂主義更趨于極端和暴力，卻值得人們關(guān)注和警惕。

鼓吹“自焚”凸顯“藏獨”焦慮

達賴集團煽動策劃自焚由來已久。2001年我國政府有關(guān)部門破獲一起達賴集團派遣人員在西藏自焚未遂案，并由新華社公開報道，詳細講述了青海籍某僧人非法出境后，達賴集團“安全部”、“三區(qū)聯(lián)合會”誘騙、策劃、組織其進行“自焚”的全過程。達賴集團避之唯恐不及，其“新聞和國際關(guān)系部”馬上發(fā)表聲明予以否認，稱“整個西藏運動的信譽是以達賴喇嘛所倡導的非暴力原則為基礎(chǔ)的。派人到西藏去自焚是違背藏傳佛教教義的。佛教認為，殺生尤其是自殺是一種非常不好的行為?！甭暶鬟€進一步“表白”說，1998年曾有一位藏人在新德里自焚，“達賴喇嘛強烈反對這種行為，并敦促所有藏人在將來都不要采取這種行為”。

然而十年后的2011年藏區(qū)個別地方再次發(fā)生自焚事件，達賴及其集團的公開態(tài)度完全改變。達賴不僅不表示反對，而且親自舉行“特殊法會”并領(lǐng)頭絕食一天，以表示對自焚事件的聲援?！傲魍稣焙透鳌安鬲殹苯M織頭目紛紛發(fā)表聲明，將自焚者稱為“民族英雄”，稱自焚是“積累功德”，自焚者“將轉(zhuǎn)世為活佛”。近日，“自由西藏學生運動”舉行會議，稱“為獨立大局犧牲自我是佛法最提倡的教義”。阿壩縣格爾登寺多次發(fā)生自焚事件，其外逃的格爾登活佛去年11月11日在美國對媒體宣稱，“選擇自焚手段是佛教提倡的利他精神”。境外“格爾登寺新聞聯(lián)絡(luò)小組”在接受采訪時妄稱，“自焚浪潮已經(jīng)不可能回頭”，叫囂“流亡藏人要保證自焚者的犧牲不會白費”。

筆者早就指出，達賴為了實現(xiàn)其“西藏獨立”的目標，半個多世紀來一直就是暴力與“非暴力”兩手交替使用?，F(xiàn)在達賴集團從10年前躲避催生暴力的責任，轉(zhuǎn)為公開號召使用暴力，不惜把藏傳佛教變成“自焚教”，不是說明他的力量增強了，而是說明他的“非暴力”一手失靈，不得不重新公開乞靈于暴力。

“藏獨”為煽動造勢不擇手段

2月4日，達賴集團挪威“西藏之聲”、“自由亞洲電臺”等多家境外媒體有鼻子有眼地報道：“四川甘孜色達縣普吾鄉(xiāng)雪桑村60歲的藏人擦才次仁、本旭村30歲的藏人嘉日，以及另外一名藏人自焚，1死2重 傷?！彪S后2月6日，達賴集團“新聞與國際關(guān)系部”專門舉行記者招待會，“對事件表示痛心”，宣稱“要利用國際舞臺將境內(nèi)自焚示威藏人的訴求傳達給世人”。2月7日，達賴集團的重要“喉舌”以《淚!色達縣3位藏人3日自焚》的煽情標題在網(wǎng)上對此大加炒作，并稱此消息“得到境內(nèi)藏人證實”。然而到2月16日，達賴集團媒體卻在人們追究下不得不灰灰溜溜地小聲承認，此事件“至今無法確認”，只是個“傳聞”。而那位“喉舌”還唯恐讀者不樂，自己盤問自己：“這3位色達藏人在2月3日那天，究竟是以身自焚了，還是準備以身自焚呢？”這個大大的問號正好暴露了造謠者唯恐天下不亂的真實心態(tài)和丑惡嘴臉，也提醒一切善良的人們，不要指望達賴一伙多少會有幾句真話。

“流亡政府”新頭目走上煽動暴力前臺

去年達賴宣布“退休”，退出“政務(wù)活動”，把權(quán)力交給“民選”的“流亡政府”，以便把精力更多用于幕后操控和尋求國際支持。此舉馬上召來達賴集團內(nèi)部權(quán)力爭斗，一些派別為取悅達賴，急于通過在境內(nèi)制造事件來顯示實力，鞏固自身地位，這也促使分裂活動的極端、暴力色彩迅速增強?！傲魍稣毙骂^目志大才疏，為避免落在人后，上臺伊始就在一次演講中向世人和盤托出達賴的底牌：“‘西藏獨立’是原則目標，‘西藏自治’是現(xiàn)實目標”，弄得達賴一點回旋余地也沒有了。今年1月21日接受媒體采訪時更宣稱，“達賴喇嘛將政治權(quán)力轉(zhuǎn)交給我之后，我就成了西藏人民的政治領(lǐng)導人”，儼然已經(jīng)把這個集團的其他任何人都不放在眼里。為了顯示政績，此人以“流亡政府”名義多次發(fā)表聲明，為所謂“死難者”舉行“祈福法會”，于藏歷新年初一發(fā)表聲明，要求境內(nèi)外藏人“不要慶祝今年的藏歷新年，應(yīng)到寺廟為境內(nèi)的死難者祈禱”，更在各種場合挑唆藏人自焚，聲稱“自焚能夠引起外界對西藏人民苦難的關(guān)注”，“藏人希望有更直接、更迅速見效的辦法”，“要牢記自焚藏人的宏愿，并將實現(xiàn)這一宏愿作為畢生的奮斗目標”。

有趣的是，在2月14日接受美聯(lián)社采訪時，此人大白天說夢話：“即將到來的2月22日藏歷新年，很可能會發(fā)生和1959年3月10日那天‘起義’活動相似的情況，出現(xiàn)藏人上街的場面”。2月22日已過去好些天了，筆者不知這位美國哈佛大學高材生的美夢做完了沒有!

西方某些勢力 公然支持達賴集團暴力傾向

達賴集團流亡境外幾十年，靠的就是美國和西方一些勢力支持。如果不能破壞藏區(qū)穩(wěn)定，不能為西方勢力干涉中國內(nèi)政、遏制中國發(fā)展提供借口，西方就不會給錢，這個集團也就失去了活命的依靠。為此，近期達賴集團加緊游說西方“關(guān)注西藏目前的緊張局勢”?！傲魍稣毙骂^目在接受澳大利亞媒體采訪時百般哀求“澳大利亞政府或美國政府派代表團到西藏，調(diào)查正在發(fā)生的事情”?！傲魍鲎h會”在藏歷新年聲明中提出“七點緊急呼吁”，頭兩條就是中國“從藏區(qū)撤出軍隊”，“允許獨立人士的代表前往藏區(qū)調(diào)查當?shù)貙嶋H情況”。

一些西方勢力和媒體似乎也忘記了他們在拉薩“3·14”事件中歪曲報道激怒全體中國人民的教訓，又不斷發(fā)出“中國藏區(qū)動亂加劇”、“中國藏人在嚴密戒備下過藏歷新年”等聳人聽聞的報道，甚至再次上演“移花接木”的一幕：1月28日《紐約時報》以“漢人鎮(zhèn)壓和封鎖種族騷亂”為題的報道中，配有一幅“全副武裝的中國軍人在成都巡邏”的彩色照片，實際上這幅照片的場景根本不在成都。法國“十字架報”在藏歷新年之際發(fā)表對“支持達賴喇嘛政治斗爭組織”創(chuàng)始人的專訪，這位洋人大講“‘自焚’是光明的祭品，從而對于其他人來說可以變成光明的跡象，以期使人類從無知中得以凈化并幫其走上智慧與覺悟之路”，“對于藏人來說，自焚是愛與和平的行動”。筆者不由得要問：既然自焚如此美好，為何達賴、“流亡政府”頭目以及你自己不自焚？筆者當然不是要鼓動這伙人也自焚，好賴是條性命嘛，筆者只是要指出，如此愛惜自己的生命而鼓勵他人自焚，是不是太卑鄙點兒了？

與此同時，國際上也出現(xiàn)了許多對達賴集團暴力趨勢質(zhì)疑的聲音。2月13日，《多維新聞》連續(xù)發(fā)表文章，指出“西藏流亡政府對自焚這種極端行為正在采取一種縱容的態(tài)度，讓這種暴力抗爭處于有意無意的‘失控’狀態(tài)，長此以往，一部分流亡藏人將不可避免地走上恐怖主義路線，他們原本能夠在國際上爭取到的一點支持，也將逐漸失去”；新頭目“似乎有意挑起事端、制造聲勢，對北京政府施加壓力。西方政客害怕現(xiàn)階段這種急劇升溫的暴力傾向有朝一日可能會越來越‘恐怖’，累及自己聲名，因此對其進行冷處理?！?/p>

所謂“非暴力”是達賴在國際上自我標榜、爭取同情的旗號，但查查達賴的分裂主義活動史，1959年發(fā)動武裝叛亂，此后發(fā)動長達十幾年的邊境武裝襲擾,1987至1989年制造拉薩騷亂，2008年制造拉薩“3·14”事件，哪一次不使用暴力？達賴已經(jīng)77歲，“藏獨”事業(yè)沒有任何成果，為擺脫政治上的困境，這個集團公開叫囂“西藏獨立”的聲音重新上升，極端、暴力手段的運用日益強化，企圖以此吸引國際關(guān)注，向中國政府施壓。但是，達賴的暴力一套過去沒有贏過，今后也不會贏。在今天公開搞暴力，更形同“政治自殺”。當前，西藏和四省藏區(qū)經(jīng)濟發(fā)展、社會穩(wěn)定，人民安居樂業(yè)，僧俗各界對達賴集團暴力行徑極度憎惡，堅決反對。達賴的表演除了在國際社會上撕去他自己的“非暴力”偽裝，不會取得他幻想的任何效果。

Since the beginning of this year, a number of incidents of self-immolation and vandalism have occurred in a few Tibetan areas in some provinces.The Dalai Lama clique became even more excited and exaggerated matters in Tibetan areas by calling the situation tense. On February 8, it instigated “worldwide evening candlelight activities in “support” of the propagators. Then the Dalai Lama threateningly advised all Tibetans to not celebrate the Tibetan New Year and lobbied Western countries to send teams of observers to investigate the situation in Tibetan areas. Beginning in early March, the Dalai Lama clique began advocating a “Tibetan people’s uprising” as it does every year at this time in the hope of inciting more bloody incidents in Tibetan areas. Even though there was nothing new in this series of actions and they received only scattered responses at home and abroad, they reveal that the Dalai Lama clique’s separatist stance has become more extreme and violent, and this fact deserves our attention and vigilance.

The advocacy of self-immolation highlightsthe desperation of the “Tibet independence” stance

The Dalai Lama clique’s tactic of inciting selfimmolation has a long history. In 2001, security organs of the Chinese government uncovered a plot of the Dalai Lama clique to send people to Tibet to immolate themselves. This was reported in a story carried by Xinhua News Agency, which also reported that a monk from Qinghai Province illegally went abroad, after which the Dalai Lama clique lured him into agreeing to immolate himself and drew up a detailed plan for carrying it out. The Dalai Lama clique’s “Information and International Relations Department” immediately issued a press release stating, “The credibility of all the activities we carry out in Tibet is premised on the principle of nonviolence that the Dalai Lama advocates.Buddhism believes that killing any living thing, and especially suicide, is very wrong.” The statement further“confessed” that in 1998 a Tibetan immolated himself in New Delhi, and “The Dalai Lama strongly opposed this action and urged all Tibetans not to do so in the future.”

However, ten years later in 2011, when a number of self-immolations again occurred in a few Tibetan areas, the attitude of the Dalai Lama and his clique had changed completely. The Dalai Lama not only didn’t express his disapproval of them, but also held a special Buddhist ceremony and took the lead in fasting for a day to express his support for the incidents. The Tibetan“government in exile” and heads of various “Tibet independence” organizations all issued statements calling those who immolated themselves “national heroes,”calling self-immolation a way to “accumulate spiritual merit for future lives,” and claiming that those who immolate themselves will “be living Buddhas in their next life.” Recently, the “Free Tibet Students Movement”held a meeting at which it stated “Sacrificing oneself for a greater cause is a basic doctrine of Buddhism.”A number of self-immolations have occurred at Kirti Monastery in Aba County, Sichuan. Its living Buddha has fl ed abroad, and on November 11, he declared to the media in the United States, “Choosing self-immolation is a form of altruism that Buddhism advocates.” The Kirti Monastery News Liaison Group” overseas made the preposterous claim to the media, “The tide of selfimmolation cannot be turned back,” and boasted,“Tibetans in exile will make sure that the sacri fi ce those who immolated themselves made will not be in vain.”

I have stated before that for more than 50 years, the Dalai Lama has alternately used violent and nonviolent means to achieve his goal of “Tibet independence.”Today the Dalai Lama clique has abandoned its position of ten years ago to avoid inciting violence, and it now openly calls for violence and has no misgivings about turning Tibetan Buddhism into a “self-immolation religion.” This does not show that the clique is becoming stronger; rather it shows that its “nonviolence” is ineffective and it has no alternative but to resort to violence again.

Publicity stunts promoting “Tibet independence”

On February 4, the Dalai Lama clique’s overseas news outlets such as the “Voice of Tibet” and “Radio Free Asia” located in Norway fabricated a selfimmolation report asserting, “Three Tibetans from Seda County, Sichuan immolated themselves. They were 60-year-old Cacai Ciren from Xuesang village, 30-yearold Jiari from Benxu village, and a third unidentified person. One of them is dead and the other two were seriously injured.” Subsequently the Dalai Lama clique’s“Information and International Relations Department”held a press conference to “express its sympathy”concerning the situation and declared, “It is necessary to use an international platform to transmit the grievances of the Tibetans who immolated themselves to the world.” On February 7, the main “spokesman” of the Dalai Lama clique fanned the fl ames in an online article entitled “We Grieve for the Three Tibetans from Seda County Who Immolated Themselves on February 3,”in which he claimed the assertions were corroborated by Tibetans in China. Then on February 16, when others pursued the issue further, the Dalai Lama clique’s media had no alternative but to dejectedly and meekly admit “this incident cannot be con fi rmed” and it is just“hearsay.” The Dalai Lama clique’s spokesman tried to keep his hooks in his readers by asking rhetorically, “Did the three Tibetans from Seda County actually immolate themselves or merely prepare to do so?” This large question mark reveals the rumormongers’ despicable nature and their desire to stir up trouble, and warns every good-natured person not to expect to hear the truth from the Dalai Lama clique.

The new head of the “government in exile” takes the path of inciting violence

Last year, the Dalai Lama declared he would “retire”from “political activities” and turn power over to an“elected” “government in exile” in order to more freely manipulate behind the scenes and seek international support. This move immediately set off a power struggle within the Dalai Lama clique, and some factions rushed to instigate incidents within China for the purpose of ingratiating themselves with the Dalai Lama and consolidating their position, with the result that separatist activities became more extreme and more violent.The new head of the “government in exile” is very ambitious but of limited talent. Shortly after assuming his new position he revealed the Dalai Lama’s position to the world in a speech, saying “’Tibet independence’is our principled objective; ‘Tibetan autonomy’ is our practical objective.” This left the Dalai Lama with no room to maneuver. In an interview with news media on January 21, he further claimed, “After the Dalai Lama turns political power over to me, I will be the political leader of the Tibetan people,” as if he already completely disregarded everyone else in the clique. In order to show off his political accomplishments, this individual made political statements in the name of the “government in exile” on numerous occasions, held Buddhist ceremonies to bless the so-called victims, made a public statement on the fi rst day of the Tibetan New Year, asked Tibetans in China and abroad “not to celebrate Tibetan New Year this year, but instead go to temples to pray for the victims in China,” and took every opportunity available to encourage Tibetans to immolate themselves. He also asserted “self-immolation will make the outside world aware of the Tibetan people’s suffering”; “Tibetans want a more direct, faster and more effective method”; and“We need to remember the aspirations of the people who immolated themselves, and take bringing their aspirations to reality as our goal in a lifelong struggle.”

It is interesting that in an interview with the Associated Press on February 14, this individual candidly revealed his delusions, saying “It’s quite possible that on February 22, Tibetan New Year, Tibetans will take to the streets and launch a rebellion on the scale of the March 10, 1959, rebellion.” February 22 has already come and gone, and I don’t know if this Harvard graduate is still indulging in this fantasy.

Some Western forces openly supportthe Dalai Lama clique’s inclination to violence

The Dalai Lama fled abroad several decades ago,and ever since he has relied on the support of forces in the United States and other Western countries. If he did not provide a pretext for them to undermine the stability of Tibet, interfere in China’s internal affairs and hinder China’s development, they would not give him any money and the Dalai Lama clique would have no means to survive. For this reason, the Dalai Lama clique has recently intensified its lobbying to get the West to “pay more attention to the tense situation in Tibet.” The new head of the Tibetan “government in exile” made an impassioned plea during an interview with Australian media for “the Australian government or the American government to send a delegation to Tibet to investigate the situation there.” In its Tibetan New Year’s statement, the “government in exile” set forth“seven urgent appeals,” the fi rst two of which were for“China to remove its troops from Tibetan areas” and “to allow independent individuals to go to Tibetan regions to investigate the situation.”

Some Western forces and media seemingly forget the lesson that their distorted reports on the March 14 Incident in Lhasa infuriated all the people of China, and they still constantly issue sensational reports to the effect that “chaos is intensifying in Tibetan areas of China”and “Tibetans are celebrating Tibetan New Year under martial law,” and on some occasions, distortion has bordered on total fabrication. A report in the January 28 New York Times under the heading “Han Chinese Suppress and Confine Ethnic Riots” was accompanied by a color photo with the caption “Fully armed Chinese soldiers patrolling Chengdu.” In fact, the photo wasn’t shot in Chengdu at all. The French newspaper La Croix published an interview with the founder of a French organization devoted to supporting the political struggle of the Dalai Lama on the eve of the Tibetan New Year.This Westerner spoke of self-immolation as if it were a kind of holy light. He went on to say that it could “become a signpost that could lead human beings from ignorance and purify themselves so that could take the path of wisdom and enlightenment.” He also said, “For Tibetans,self-immolation is an act of love and peace.” I can’t help but asking, If self-immolation is so wonderful why don’t you and the head of the “government in exile” immolate yourselves? Of course, my purpose is not to encourage this individual to immolate himself, and I just want to point out that to cherish one’s own life while encouraging others to immolate themselves is contemptible.

At the same time, very many people abroad have questioned the Dalai Lama clique’s inclination to violence. On February 3, Chinese Media Net, Inc.published an article stating, “The Tibetan ‘government in exile’ presently takes the attitude of conniving at the extreme action of self-immolation, which intentionally or unintentionally lets this kind of violent protest get out of control. If this goes on unchecked some Tibetans in exile will inevitably take the path of terrorism, and if they do they will gradually lose the support they have in the international community.” It goes on to say that the new head of the “government in exile” “seemingly is deliberately inciting incidents to create momentum to increase the pressure on the government in Beijing.Western politicians fear that if the present situation heats up and the violence increases, it could lead to terrorism and tarnish their reputation, so they want to cool things down.”

The Dalai Lama flaunts his profession of nonviolence in the international arena to attract sympathy,but an examination of his separatist activities reveals that in 1959 he instigated an armed rebellion, and afterwards he carried out armed border raids for more than ten years.He was behind the riots in Lhasa in 1987 and 1989 and the March 14 incident in 2008. All of them involved violence. The Dalai Lama is already 77 years old, and his separatist activities haven’t achieved any success whatsoever. In order to escape its present political dif fi culties, the Dalai Lama clique again began clamoring for “Tibet independence,” and has increasingly relied on extremist and violent methods in the effort to attract international sympathy and support and increase the pressure on the Chinese government. However, in the past the Dalai Lama’s violence has never succeeded in achieving his aims, and it won’t succeed this time either. Today, openly resorting to violence would result in political suicide. At present Tibet and the Tibetan areas in four other provinces are undergoing economic development and are enjoying political stability. The people have good jobs and live a satisfying life. Both clergy and lay persons loathe the violent actions of the Dalai Lama clique and firmly oppose them. The Dalai Lama’s posturing will not achieve any of the results he fantasizes about; all it does is strip off his fa?ade and expose his true nature to the international community.

ADVOCATING VIOLENCE CAN ONLY HASTEN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE DALAI LAMA CLIQUE
