記者:今年是西藏起義50周年,但最近世界關注的熱點是另外一個地方--中國新疆。騷亂已經導致190多人死亡,1600多人受傷。那麼您對新疆(發生的暴力)事件究竟怎麼看?

達賴喇嘛:事件令人非常痛心,很多漢族兄弟姐妹也遭了殃。我認為,首先任何暴力都是錯誤的;其次這種騷亂也無助於解決問題。Read More ...

The Nobel Peace Prize 1989

Presentation Speech

The world has shrunk. Increasingly peoples and nations have grown dependent on one another. No one can any longer act entirely in his own interest. It is therefore imperative that we should accept mutual responsibility for all political, economic, and ecological problems.

In view of this, fewer and fewer people would venture to dismiss the Dalai Lama's philosophy as utopian: on the contrary, one would be increasingly justified in asserting that his gospel of nonviolence is the truly realistic one, with most promise for the future. And this applies not only to Tibet but to each and every conflict. The future hopes of oppressed millions are today linked to the unarmed battalions, for they will win the peace: the justice of their demands, moreover, is now so clear and the normal strength of their struggle so indomitable that they can only temporarily be halted by force of arms.

In awarding the Peace Prize to H.H. the Dalai Lama we affirm our unstinting support for his work for peace, and for the unarmed masses on the march in many lands for liberty, peace and human dignity.

既然達賴喇嘛要來(時事雜感 54)
賴賴喇嘛上次來台灣時,我擔任接待工作,也全程參與了他在林口的法會,對達賴喇嘛的親切幽默,留下深刻印象;之後開始對與達賴喇嘛有關的著作產生興趣,除了他談佛法的書之外,也讀了包括布萊德彼特主演的《火線大逃亡》的原著《西藏七年與少年達賴》,EQ》作者高曼與達賴喇嘛的對談《破壞性情緒管理》;有段時間,達賴喇嘛的《快樂》一書對我的低潮人生有些幫助;他的《新千禧年的心靈革命》一書應該也曾感動過不少人。Read More ...

慈悲的力量

◎ 田秋堇

此次南部受災最重的七縣市,聯袂邀請達賴喇嘛來台舉行法會,竟被說成是對馬英九的政治突襲,把達賴喇嘛慈悲力量的援助,視為政治道具,實在非常淺薄而無稽。

台灣媒體比北京還北京(江雅綺)

2009年08月29日蘋果日報

達賴訪台是國際大事,既是來為台灣災民祈福,政府也准予簽證,便是台灣歡迎的重要客人,希望部分台灣媒體在翻譯外國新聞的時候,別加料詮釋,不然只會弄巧成拙,沒事變有事,小事變大事。
