==============================================
我再次感謝你們再一次的邀請我參加你們這麼重要的集會。對這次的集會我帶來了我個人的祝福﹐也帶來西藏人民的祝福。我同時也替達賴喇嘛為中國人民帶來祝福。他總是稱呼中國人民為他的兄弟姐妹。我們在基本權利努力上有著相同的立場。
今天當我看到大紀元報紙時﹐我非常的驚訝。我每兩個禮拜都會拿到大紀元報紙﹐而我從來不會錯過的。報紙上確定了我昨天在國會山莊上聽到的消息。那就是﹐中共政府在這個偉大的民主國家內﹐利用中國的學生和學者替中共政府做事。我今天早上真的是很震驚的看到中國的學生們會在這個國家從事有政治爭議的事情。你們相信嗎﹖我想你們比我更了解這類的事情。
如果中共政府在美國會對自己的學生和學者做這樣的事情﹐那麼他們在中國﹐在新疆﹐在西藏和其他少數民族地區有什麼事情他們不敢做﹖只要稍微想想就知道了。
所以﹐今天在這個紀念法輪功精神運動被鎮壓的偉大的集會上﹐我向那些年紀輕輕就失去生命的人致敬。為什麼要致敬﹖你們連想一下他們是為了自己的利益的想法都是不對的。他們是為了自由﹐為了宗教自由﹐以及為他們所信仰而堅持的。他們堅持的理念大過個人的利益。
所以我相信法輪功群體堅信和實踐他們所珍惜的。法輪功是一個和平精神運動﹐有著真誠、愛和慈悲﹐是所有現在的宗教都需要的。但是﹐為什麼法輪功受到不同的對待﹖尤其是受到中共政府不同的對待﹖
所有失去生命的人們﹐他們的犧牲激勵著我們繼續做下去。他們的犧牲獲得了補償﹐尤其是在1989年以後。
我看了所有的海報﹐上面寫著法輪功學員被虐殺致死的人數超過了3000人。我真的相信有些法輪功學員寶貴的器官被當成商品賣掉了。所以今天當我們數算共產黨這些日子的罪行的時候﹐數算成千上萬死去的老百姓的時候﹐這些都要算在共產黨的頭上﹐都要算做它們自己的罪行。
所有的人都知道中國是個偉大的文明國家。事實上﹐做為一個偉大的國家﹐中國也應該擔當起世界的領袖﹐因為它有著豐富的文化與文明﹐所以它可以稱霸世界。但是﹐它卻放棄了所有好的東西﹐現在正瘋狂的追求美國的鈔票。
多丟臉啊﹐我們在國會山莊的參眾議員們不敢告訴老百姓美國的公司企業﹐美國的商品﹐以及美國的經濟人才都在拼命的去中國賺錢﹐儘快的多賺錢。同時﹐令人驚訝的是中國的老百姓也瘋狂的追求金錢。所以挑戰是巨大的。但是我們都知道﹐歷史是重複的。現在歷史常常非常快速的重複著﹐所以當一件重大的事情正在發生的時候我們甚至都不知道。
現在說起來已經是歷史的事情了﹐那就是﹐突然的蘇聯解體了﹐整個東歐共產黨解體了。所以又有什麼能夠使中國不會發生同樣的事情呢﹖我們只要看看中國的經濟問題﹐生態環境的問題﹐以及這個禮拜發生超過4 萬次的打雷閃電就知道了。甚至連大地之母的自然現在都跟中國搞不好了。
所以我與來自世界各地的你們一起禱告﹐尤其是在這裡﹐我常常禱告﹐因為我們有一個好的信仰。有能量與虔誠的西藏人和其他地區的人﹐有一天﹐我知道不是最近的將來﹐但是會很快的﹐會和很多的中國人﹐在人們努力下﹐就像你們所付出的一樣﹐我相信有一天﹐我們會跨越海洋回到中國。
2008年的奧運就在眼前了﹐我相信你們會去參加。許多的人們﹐甚至西藏的老百姓們﹐雖然人數不多﹐但是我們從幾個月以前就開始製作了大量的宣傳資料。而現在這個時候在印度的首都新德里﹐有一些學者和代表正在絕食抗議﹐今天已經是第11天了。他們的訴求是什麼呢﹖他們想要中共政府證實在中國一切事情是公開的﹐就是西藏人民在中國有人權﹐以及能夠將罪犯帶到安全的地方。你們大概聽過班禪喇嘛﹐他在年僅5歲的時候﹐就被當成政治犯被中國人監禁起來。他們從來不讓他公開露面﹐但是他們說他一切都很好。所以這些學者和代表們要求中國讓班禪喇嘛露面。所以讓我們從現在開始計算到奧林匹克運動會的日子﹐我想我們會看到國際上有一些特別的事情會發生﹐尤其是在奧林匹克運動會的會場上。
再一次的謝謝你們邀請我參加這個集會﹐我期待將來仍然和你們一起合作。
謝謝﹗
I thank all of you again for having me once more in this important place for gathering, I bring my personal good wishes and also good wishes of Tibetan people, I may also say that good wishes of Dalai Lama always with Chinese people as a whole. He always call Chinese people his brothers and sisters. We are all on the same boat when it comes to our struggle for our basic rights.
It is amazing that today when I pick up my Epoch Times newspaper, I always pick up my Epoch Times, every second week I have no failure to pick up the newspaper. It confirmed what I heard yesterday in the capitol building, that the Chinese government is using Chinese students and scholars in this great democratic country for their own purposes. I was really shocked to see this morning that Chinese students go for executional political critics in this country. Can you believe that? I think you guys know better than me.
Now, if Communist China can do so much for their students and scholars in America,
What they can not do in China, Tibet, Xin Jiang and with all other minorities? It just takes a little thinking.
So today, on this great occasion of Asia, of Suppression of Falun Gong movement, I pay my respect for those who are so young in their life have given their life, for what ?! …… Don’t you even think for a moment that it is for their personal gains, they did it for freedom, they did it for freedom of expression and religion, and for what they stood for. They stood for ideals greater than individuals.
So I belive that Falun Gong belives and practices what it precious. It is a mass peaceful movement with truth-love-compassion, which all the present religions take. So, why Falun Gong can be treated differently by others? Specially Chinese government? All those who have lost their life, they did so because so that we can continue. They paid with their lives, specially after 1989.
I read the posters all over, the number of people they have died over 3000 Falun Gong practitioners tortured to death. I do believe that some of their costly organs were sold for commercial purpose. So today as we count the days of Communist do, also count the figure of people who have died and the millions of people who have perished, all in the name of Communist and their own private profit.
All of you believe that China has a great civilization. Actually China should be a great nation and it should be providing international leadership because of rich culture and civilization that can both go throughout the world. In stead, it has given up all its good things, and now is crazy after American dollars.
How shameful that our congressman on the hill are shamed to tell the people that American enterprises and American merchandises and American economic people are dying to go to China to make extra bucks of quick money. It is astonishing therefore that people of China are being driven crazy after money. So the challenge is enormous, but as we all know, history repeats and it often repeats quickly now so that we even don’t realize that such a great thing is going to happen.
It is history for now that all of sudden Russia fell apart, the whole Eastern Europe communism fell apart. So what can be held China from happening? Just Imagine economical problem, environmental problem, over 40,000 lighting struck this week in China. Even Mother Nature isn’t getting along well with Communist China now.
So with you all have pray throughout the world, specially from this area, I always pray, because we always believe in good faith. The energy and dedicated Tibetan and other people along with massive Chinese people, will some day, not in a near future I know, but immediately, when people strive for, people like you have given, I am always confident that some day, we will have to cross the sea and go back to China.
The 2008 Olympics is around the corner, I believe that you guys are going to make presence there. Many people, even Tibetan people, in spite of the fact that there is a small number, we made large propaganda materials on the foot of the amount ever since couple months ago and right now at this time in Indian capital New Dali, scholars and deputy in hungry strike and today is the 11 day. What are they asking? They want China government to proof that things are opening in China, that there is human rights in China for the Tibetan people, and be able to bring the prisoner in safe. You probably have heard of the Puncha Lama, they put him as political prisoner who was kept by Chinese when he was only 5. They have not shown his face but they said all is fine. So they are demanding that China should show him. So let’s count our days to 2008 Olympic and I would like to see something specially happening internationally, especially at the site of Olympics.
Thank you all for having me here again, and I am looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Thank you so much.
