达赖喇嘛


根据哈里斯互动(Harris Interactive)所进行的一项调查显示,美国总统奥巴马是最受西方人欢迎的领袖,西藏精神领袖达赖喇嘛排第二,第三是美国国务卿希拉里。哈里斯互动是在今年三月到四月间,对英国、法国、德国、意大利、西班牙和美国的六千多位民众进行访问而做出这个结论。

这些调查结果肯定会令许多马来西亚华人大吃一惊。达赖喇嘛是搞分裂,搞藏独的叛徒、恐怖分子,为何会如此受欢迎呢?偏激的就会斩钉截铁的说:『西方人不愿意见到中国强大,希望中国分裂,所以才会支持达赖。』

支持不等同于喜爱。美国人支持阿富汗总理对抗塔力班(Taliban),却不见得就喜爱他。达赖喇嘛之所以受欢迎,是因为他倡导慈悲和非暴力,绝对和政治无关。不相信吗?请到书店的英文部门,Buddhism的书架看看就会明白了。

大马华人普遍上都有一种『中国情意结』,再加上长期被中文媒体洗脑,痛恨达赖喇嘛原是意料中事。但我是华人,也是佛教徒,你认为我应该如何看待他呢?

  3. 读了不少的达赖喇嘛的著作,看过他的演讲,听过师父出席了他的讲座会的感想;感动于他的慈悲、智慧。至于政治哪方面,就不多谈了。

  4. Politics is dirty and evil.

    To me, I'll always support HH. Religion comes first. :)

  6. I personally dislike the current Dalai Lama for many reasons, mostly political ones. Note that I do not dislike the religious movement or Tibetan people, but I don't approve the way the Dalai Lama is gathering support in show-business, in the USA etc. Carry your own battle at home...

    The Dalai Lama is a controversial person, even in Tibet from what I understand.
