The 14th Dalai Lama has been quite busy recently, giving speeches everywhere with whatever words or remarks occurring to him and, of course, with a lot of sheer lies.
"I assure you I have no desire to seek Tibet's separation," Dalai Lama told his "Chinese brothers and sisters". On April 8, 2007, however, the same Dalai told an India TV channel that Tibet was a de-facto independent country about half a century ago.
He said, "I have no wish to drive a wedge between Tibetans and Chinese people." It was nevertheless the same Dalai Lama, who said in a statement of March 10 this year that "the non-Tibetan population has increased many times, reducing native Tibetans to an insignificant minority in their own country… and, as a consequence, Tibetans are increasingly being assimilated quietly into the large Chinese population."
Moreover, in an interview with the "News Week" magazine of the U.S. on March 25, this year the Dalai Lama said he had met some affluent Tibetans, who live good lives and have good houses, but they felt indescribable discrimination from the Hans.
Furthermore, for a series of protests since March 10, Dalai said, the Chinese government has accused him of having orchestrated demonstrations that errupted on March 10. But why all these things could occur after March 10 in the first place? It is precisely the same Dalai Lama who time and over again expressed his "appreciation" and "pride" in the "courage" and "resolution" of the Tibetan people in China, and arranged meetings with organizations like the Tibetan Youth Congress.
The Tibetan Youth Congress vowed on March 10 to fight for "Tibet independence" at the cost of blood and life.
So, the Dalai Lama appreciates such violence as beating, smashing, looting and arson, and lighting up flames over Lhasa, the capital city of China's Tibetan autonomous region on March 14, and the tragedy of a dozen innocent locals who were either burnt alive, beheaded or died of suffocation, or of beaten-up petrol police. On that very day of riot, Dalai said he held in esteem the desires of Tibetans in what they did and would not like to let them halt.
At a time when he became aware of his discreet remarks as people have vehemently denounced the violence recently, the Dalai Lama said on March 18 he would resign if the situation deteriorates. Then, he led an "inter-faith prayer meeting in remembrance of Tibetans who lost their lives".
Meanwhile, the Dalai Lama said, " I have, from the start, supported Beijing's being awarded the opportunity to host the Games. My position remains unchanged." It was the same Dalai, however, who claimed time and again on his tour of the European nations and the United States last year that 2008 was a crucial year, as the Beijing Olympics perhaps offered the last chance for Tibetans, and appealed to the nations concerned to link the "Tibetan issue" with the Beijing Olympics when dealing with China, and urge supporters to take to the streets in promoting Tibetans'appeals during the games period.
With these contradictory remarks of his, the Dalai Lama has begun turning uneasy and nervous himself with an ill, guilty conscience. Consequently, he preached again: As a Buddhist monk himself, he assured people that his desire was "sincere" and his motivation "earnest". Hence, we cannot but ask how the Dalai Lama abides by commandments of the Buddhist religion as it attached utmost importance to "four religious prohibitions", namely, the religious taboos against taking knife, burgling, pornography and telling lies. Can he still be deemed as a "Buddhist monk"? The only answer we can now give is that "Dalai Lama has told lies again."
