一位西藏东部藏人的文章

那些从未踏足西藏自称藏族人士的话, 大家可能听多了。现在让我们听听一位真正来自西藏的人说些什么。以下是在西雅图一个论坛发表的文章。我没法找到原始连接,只能把原文转载, 如果作者看到有异议, 请与我们连络。

一个西藏人的文章来自西藏东部的 南迦巴瓦峰 (注: 又名那木卓巴尔山, 藏语意为'直刺蓝天的战矛', 主峰高7782米,有冰山之父的美誉)

我用我家乡引以为豪的山峰, 南迦巴瓦, 作为我的代号。我的英文不太好,如有打错或错字, 请原谅。我来自西藏东部林芝地区, 我热爱的故乡有70%都被印度军事占据。那全是拜1962年英国人支持他们所致, 但那又是另一段故事了。

在过去数月, 我看到美国这里有许多抗议, 被告知有关我家乡发生的暴乱事件。我想我有责任澄清一些被媒体及示威者明显及有选择性隐瞒的事实。

1. 达赖喇嘛并不代表西藏。我们藏传佛教有四个派别: 格鲁, 宁玛, 萨迦, 噶举。达赖喇嘛是格鲁派(黄教)两位最重要的活佛中的其中一位, 另一位是班禅喇嘛。达赖喇嘛只能代表中北藏(以拉萨市为中心)藏区里居住的农民及居民, 顶多占全部藏族人口的20%左右。中南藏区(以江孜市为中心)只信奉班禅喇嘛, 而我们东藏区的人, 只信宁玛派, 红教。

2. 举例: 如果南军总统杰斐逊-戴维斯在南北战打输后逃往欧洲, 他能代表所有美国人吗? 我不觉得他可以。他只配代表所有奴隶主而已。

3. 从1980年开始, 我们西藏人没有向中央政府上缴过一毛钱的税。我们西藏人没有付过一毛钱去买肥料和种子。我们获住屋, 教育, 生育, 就业及所有各项的福利优惠。这种优惠政策的名字在美国叫积极补救(AffirmativeAct), 我不知道在西藏该叫什么而我也真不管这些。我出生时那些政策就存在。当我知道它们只适用于中国的小数民族时, 我已13岁了。小学毕业时我的平均分获多加了10分。我知道我哥高中毕业时加了20分。全国每年有上千万的高中生竞争上大学。你能想象这20分能产生多大的效益? 还有, 我有三个兄弟, 两姐妹, 那什么「西藏人被逼限制生育」就该住咀了吧。

4. 跟其它95%的西藏人一样, 我家在1959年前是农奴。直到达赖喇嘛跟他那奴隶政府及奴隶主们逃离西藏前, 我们都是奴隶。虽然中国军队1950年就驻守西藏, 中央政府没有推行改革或是废除奴隶制度。有一个说法是1954年中国军队在我们村子招募劳工去帮他们修水泥路。他们发现他们给村民的工资全都被奴隶主抢走后, 他们很气的改用货物来支付村民, 让奴隶主没法抢。那是人民解放军开进拉萨的四年后。

5. 我现在已懒得再讲这些事情了。我不懂西藏以外的世界为什么对我们故乡有那么多误导理解。我真很感谢你说你是替西藏人说话。但现在西藏生活的西藏人有300万之多, 而你只听在达赖喇嘛身边那些人在讲???我们生活条件比那些流亡的人好多, 跟50年前比, 那更是好太多太多了, 而这些却完全不是流亡政府出的力, 那是个零。我们是以汗水及中央政府的优惠政策自己挣回来的。不是他随便指命的一个活佛(所致)。而我们希望我们的生活愈来愈好。说到道德标准及宗教自由, 我们红教天天都可以奉行一切传统仪式。我不知道黄教怎么啦, 而我也不懂为什么他们好像是西藏那里唯一有问题的人, 我最弄不懂是达赖喇嘛他如何能成西藏的代表人?
西藏万岁, 和平万岁, 中国万岁

【原文】An essay by a Tibetan from Eastern Tibet
All you people had heard enough from the so-called ethnic Tibetans who had never set foot in Tibet. Now let’s hear from someone who are really from Tibet.The following is an essay published in a forum in Seattle. I can’t find the original link so that I reproduce the original article here. If the author sees this and objects, please contact us.

An essay by a XiZang people
by Namjagbarwa, From Eastern Tibet
I’ll use the name of my hometown’s pride as my user ID here,—Mt. Namjarbarwa.
My English is not good so pls pardon me if you see any typo and mistake.
I am from Nyingchi Region, Eastern Tibet. 70% of my beloved homeland are under Indian military occupation. All Thanks to the British support in 1962. But that’s another story.
During the past month, I’ve witnessed a lot protests here in U.S.and been told about riots back at my homeland. I think it’s my duty to clear on some FACTS that are obviously and selectively omitted by the media and protesters.

1. His Holyness the Dalai Lama DOES NOT represent Tibet.Our Tibetan Buddhism has 4 schools:Gelug, Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu. HH the Dalai Lama is ONE of the TWO most respected living budda of Gelug (Yellow Hat Sect), another one is Panchen Lama. HH the Dalai Lama can only represent farmers and town living Tibetans from North Central Tibet (Centered with City of Lhasa), which is about 20% of entire Tibetan population at the most. Entire South Central Tibet (Centered with City of Xigaze) worship Panchen Lama only, as well as we who are from Eastern Tibet only believe NyingMa Sect, the Red Hat.

2. Example: If the President of Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, fled to Europe after the Civil War was lost. Can he represent all Americans? I don’t think so. He IS qualified to represent all the slave masters though.

3. Since 1980, We Tibetans have not paid ONE cent of Tax to the central government. We Tibetans have NOT paid ONE cent on fertilizer and seed. We have promotion access to housing, education,birth, employment and all kinds of other social benefits. The name of this promotion policy is called the Affirmative Act in the United States.I don’t know what it’s called in Tibet and honestly I didn’t really care. It’s been there since I was born. When I realized that policy only applies to minority groups in China, I am already 13. I got 10 points raise on my average score when I graduated from elementary school. And I know my brother got 20 points when he graduated from high school. There are 10 Million high school graduates competing to get into college every year. Can you imagine how many advantages this 20 point can make?? BTW, I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters, and there goes so-called “Forced Birth Control among Tibetans”.

4. Just like 95% of other Tibetans,my family was farmer-slaves before 1959. We’ve always been slaves till HH the Dalai Lama and his slavery government escaped from Tibet, along with most slave masters. Though the Chinese Army already stationed in Tibet in 1950,the reform, the abandon of slavery system was not carried out by central government. One story is that in 1954,Chinese Army was hiring in my village to help them building concrete roads. After they found out that their payments to the villagers are all robbed by slave masters, they were angry and started paying merchandise and goods directly,just to make sure the masters can’t take them away. That was 4 years after People’s Liberation Army entered Tibet.

5. I am kinda tired telling these stories now. I don’t know why the world outside Tibet had so many misleadings and understanding to our homeland. I really appreciate that you said you were speaking for Tibetans. But there are 3 million Tibetans living in Tibet now and you are only listening to those around HH the Dalai Lama??? Our living conditions are much better than those in exile and much much better than 50years ago. and none of these was the effort of exile Tibetan government, ZERO.We earned it by our sweat drops and promotion policies from central government.Not a living budda who was randomly picked by HH. And we want our life to be better and better. Talking about moral standards and religion freedom, we Red Hat Sect can practice all traditional customs everyday. I don’t know what happened to Yellow Hat and I don’t understand why they seem like the only trouled ones in Tibet and mostly I don’t see how can HH the Dalai Lama become the Representative of Tibet?!
Long live Tibet, Long live Peace, Long live China.
