HAMILTON — The protests outside the Dalai Lama’s address at Colgate University on Tuesday had two distinct tones – one political, the other religious.
周三,发生在美国科尔盖特大学达赖喇嘛居住地外面的抗议,同时带有两种截然不同的声音-政治的、宗教的
Two groups outside Sanford Field House shouted slogans and held placards protesting the Dalai Lama’s stand on two issues – autonomy for Tibet and his banning of worship of Dorje Shugden, a protective diety in the Tibetan Buddhist faith.
两路抗议者在桑福德会议中心外面高呼口号并张贴布告,以抗议达赖喇嘛的两个主张-西藏独立和禁止藏教供奉“多杰雄登”这个被藏传佛教信徒所信仰的保护神(护法)。
Chinese students from nearby institutions of higher learning, including Cornell University, Hamilton College and Syracuse University, called upon the Dalai Lama to stop what they called his attempts to divide China by separating Tibet.
从附近机构和高校来的中国留学生,包括康奈尔大学、哈密尔顿学院、锡拉丘兹大学,号召达赖停止他们所说的分裂中国分离西藏的企图。
The Dalai Lama said in his speech he was only seeking autonomy for Tibet, and not asking for separation from China.
达赖说他的演讲只是寻求西藏自治,而不是说要分裂中国。
The Chinese students said they had assembled at Colgate to dispel myths about China, which they said has been a victim of media distortion on the Tibetan issue.
中国留学生说他们将聚集到科尔盖特大学去揭露对中国虚妄之言,他们说媒体对西藏问题的失实报道成为一种损害。
Media reports in recent weeks have shown protests by Tibetan monks and a crackdown by Chinese authorities.
最近几个星期的媒体报道描述了西藏僧侣的抗议活动及来自中国当局的镇压。
“I think the West traditionally has a misunderstanding of China,” said Xin Wang, a Hamilton College student. “We were angered.”
“我相信西方传统上存在对中国的误解”,王星(音译),一个哈密尔顿学院的学生说:“我们被激怒了”
The group mobilized through a network of friends and Web sites such a facebook.com.
抗议团体通过网络、朋友关系和Facebook.com这类的网站进行了动员。
In the other protest, hundreds of Buddhist monks, nuns and other practitioners of Dorje Shugden called for the 72-year-old monk to stop discrimination against the Shugden believers and allow for the freedom of worship.
另一些抗议来自数百名(藏教)佛教徒僧侣、僧尼和多杰雄登的追随者要求72岁老僧停止歧视、挤兑雄登信徒,要求信仰自由。
In 1996, the Dalai Lama said the worship of Dorje Shugden was banned because the deity was a threat to the future of Tibet.
1996年,达赖喇嘛说信仰多杰雄登是不允许的,因为这个护法对西藏未来的一威胁。
But for the protestors, the ban is unfounded and oppressive, they said.
但是抗议者讲,对他们来说禁令是毫无理由的,是压迫。
Ah Dhar, a Tibetan and a believer in Shugden, said the Dalai Lama is tearing the Buddhist religion into many pieces by banning the sect.
阿达哈,一个藏族的雄登信徒,说:达赖喇嘛通过禁止驱逐该教派,把藏传佛教徒团体分散很多块。
There is too much suffering among the Tibetan people because of it, he said.
因为这个,西藏人遭受太多的痛苦,他说。
“He says peace but doesn’t give us religious freedom,” said Dhar, who arrived from Tibet to participate in the protest.
达哈说:“他(达赖喇嘛)说和平带不给我们宗教自由,”阿达哈是从西藏赶来参加抗议活动的。

多杰雄登-雄天的信众 起诉达赖喇嘛进行宗教迫害
紫楠 发表于 2008-05-22 12:57:34
a 起诉是发生在印度,无论是原告还是被告,都是逃亡到印度的藏人。
b 原告是信奉多杰雄登(Dorje Shugden)的信徒,就像中原佛教有供奉观音的,有供奉罗汉的。
c “Dalai Lama”和“班禅”一样,是藏教中活佛的名字,现在是第14世Dalai Lama,他的名字是丹增嘉措。我们以前一直以为是一个叫达赖的喇嘛,妄图把西藏从祖国分裂出去。其实达赖喇嘛是一个完整的名词,在藏语中是“大海上师”的意思。单独念其为“达赖”,应该是不准确的。
在藏教中,Dalai Lama被视为观音菩萨的化身(观音什么时候变成男的了),和班禅都是活着的佛,和寺庙里供奉的佛一样拥有很高的地位,可以接受供奉和敬仰。只不过他们要吃饭说话,寺庙里的泥佛不吃饭不说话。。
多杰雄登又被称作雄天(Gyaiqen Xudain)。其网站 DorjeShugden.com 上有一句 Dorje Shugden and Dalai Lama - Spreading dharma together,解释为多杰雄登和达赖喇嘛共同传播教义。其中文分站 xiongdeng.com 里称多杰雄登为护法。所以我们推测Dorje Shungden这种只有塑像的神,在藏教中的地位比Dalai Lama和班禅这种佛的地位要低。
d 不要以为多杰雄登的信徒起诉Dalai Lama与爱国无关。其中文分站上有一句话:达赖喇嘛从偏僻闭塞的西藏登上世界历史舞台,是多杰雄登为他铺平了道路。这说明原告也是跟随Dalai Lama逃亡到国外的,是因为受到了被告的不公平对待而起诉的,而且原告认定Dalai Lama现在拥有的这些影响是自己的扶持、护住是分不开的,原告对被告的"卸磨杀驴"行为很不满。
e 发表原文的网站属于 Sunmati Ayra,我们分析她应该是个藏传佛教,除了那些图片外,她的名字非常有特点,Sunmati 这个词是梵语,音译是须摩提,意译是妙慧,有一部经书就叫《须摩提经》,也叫《妙慧童女经》(经书中的妙慧是个8岁的小女孩)。经文通过妙慧的故事,来说明对于女人不应轻视,对初学者也不可以傲慢,并用此来说明女人和年幼者在佛教中自有其地位的平等思想。

原文 http://www.sumatiarya.nl
April 13, 2008
In the Tibetan school, Bylakupee, Tibetan students were asked to give signatures that they never worship Shugden, and also to pledge that they will never share religious and material amenities with Shugden people. 20 students refused to sign and pledge. So they face danger of expulsion from the school.
在Bylakupee的藏族学校,藏民学生被要求签字证明从未供奉过雄登,并且被要求保证以后决不允许雄登的信徒使用他们的宗教和物质设施。有20个学生拒绝签名和作保证,他们面临被学校开除的危险
In the three different camps at Bylakupee, the signature and oath campaigns were carried out. It was presided by abbots of Sera and the Dalai lama’s representative.
在Bylakupee的其它营地,签名和宣誓运动已经展开。这个运动由Sera的住持和达赖喇嘛的代表担任指挥者。
The situation is getting worse. And more miserable and suffering shugden devotees.
局势持续变糟,雄登的信徒因此更悲惨、更痛苦。
[ 注意:
上文中的Tibetan School,Bylakupee (藏族学校)指的是在印度的藏族流亡者聚居区的学校,不是西藏的藏族学校。我们查阅到Bylakupee这个地方在印度:Bylakupee, a Tibetan Settlement in the Indian State of Karnataka, Chogyab, and Ayang Tulku Bylakupee,一个藏族人居住区,位于印度的坎纳塔邦和...邦..邦,好像是把20多个村落或营地共同成为Bylakupee。
Sera应该是指Ser May Dratsang(莎昧扎仓)这个创建于1419年,为僧侣提供基础教育的学校。扎仓是学校的意思。但是估计这个地方应该在外观上和寺庙差不多。
Sera Mey Dratsang, built in 1419, which gave basic instruction to the monks。
我们估计,这个行为可以被理解为“宗教排挤”。 ]

Once again, on 2008, April 7, at 6 pm, the abbot, ex-abbots, the disciplinarian, the chanting master, Lamas and Geshes, the senior monks, the delegates of 13 monastic sections have thoroughly discussed and passed the above-mentioned points as resolutions. Those participants in the meeting gave their signatures of support.

从印度德里传来的重要信息
Important news from Delhi, India.
关于08年4月28日举行记者招待会的公告
Announcement of a press conference at Delhi, India on the 28th of April 08
先生们、女士们
Dear Sir/Madam,
这份公告是想通知诸位,08年4月28日,我们将在印度德里的记者俱乐部举办新闻发布会。
This is to inform you that we are going to hold a Press Conference on the 28th April 2008, at the Press Club of India.
发布会的实质是关于14世达赖喇嘛和他的流亡政府一直以来对多杰雄登护法及其信徒的持久迫害。而笼罩在西藏首领和他心满意足的部下周围的光环,已在--对客观事物有全面和敏锐洞察力的批评人士,以及因与天王(达赖喇嘛)的宗教意愿相悖,被称作中国政府的支持者和“隐藏的邪恶力量”的人--所提供的客观证据及详细调查之下,变的黯淡。这就是为什么许多人把我们当作一支不出名的藏教信服少数派一笔勾销,或者仅仅写一个名词“宗派”-这个曾经在西方曾经驱使很多人变得偏执的词。
The substance of our conference is related to the consistent and sustained persecution of the deity Dorje Shugden and his followers by the 14th Dalai Lama and his exiled Administration. However, due to the ‘larger than life’ aura of the Tibetan leader and euphoric following - besides the overall and compelling perception of viewing anything critical, or, contrary to the God-King, as being pro-Chinese and ‘camouflaged evil’ - has resulted in witnessing objectivity and scrutiny going to the doldrums! This is probably the reason why some people have written us off as an obscure minority amongst Tibetan Buddhist followers or have simply subscribed to the term ‘sect’ - a word that drives many in the West to paranoia!
那些把达赖喇嘛放到圣雄甘地同等地位的人,或简单的认为他有被信仰的价值-如同情心、非暴力、理性主义的人,在回避一个真相:同一个天王控制着一个羽翼已丰、有官僚机构也有司法制度等等的神权政府。相反的,与这个西藏诺贝尔获奖者描绘的那些未经甄别就被赞同的乌托邦形象相比,实际情况已经以传说的方式弥散开来。那里存在宗教隔离政策,在那里,多杰雄登护法的信徒遭受驱逐、隔离和各种形式的伤害。这些行为还在继续发生而未受到惩罚。
Those who would like to place the Dalai Lama on the same pedestal as Gandhi or who simply believe him to be espousing values - such as compassion, non-violence and rationalism - avoid the fact that the same God-King runs a fully-fledged theocratic Government, with bureaucracies and judiciary etc. Reality - on the contrary – is pervaded with a story in contrast to the utopian image of this Tibetan Nobel-laureate that has been uncritically subscribed to. There exists a scenario of apartheid, where followers of the Tibetan Buddhist deity Dorje Shugden are experiencing outcasting, segregation and all forms of abuses, that goes on with impunity.
我们坚信新闻媒体是不惜一切代价保持客观、坚持真相的。大规模的洋洋得意或是歇斯底里的沙文主义都不是报导的实质,一个有责任心的作者在向名声屈从之前是会三思而行的。我们希望您听听我们这边讲述的事情。
We believe that journalism is about objectivity and the upholding of Truth at all costs; that mass euphoria or hysterical jingoism are not substance for reporting and that a conscientious writer would think twice before subscribing to servility towards celebrities. We do hope that you will listen to our side of the story.
提前感谢您的参加
Thanking you in anticipation,
多杰雄登宗教团体 敬上
Yours sincerely Dorje Shugden Society Delhi.

芝加哥大学社会思想委员会的考卷
紫楠 发表于 2008-03-10 18:03:19
Imaginative Literature
I-1. How satisfactory do you find the final verdict in Aeschylus' Eumenides
I-2. In Hamlet there is a play within a play, directed in effect by Hamlet himself (Act III Scene ii). His aim is to discover the truth. According to his own instructions, his cautionary remarks to the Players ("suit the action to the word...," etc.), and his own intentions -- how do you think Hamlet would direct Hamlet?
Philosophy, Religion, and Theology
II-1. Augustine, Confessions. "Above all the Confessions is a confession of praise (confessio laudis)." In what sense does this proposition account for the book and its structure? In what sense does it not do so?
II-2. Comment on the role of nature in Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.
History and Social Theory
III-1. In Section Two of The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, Burckhardt says that the Renaissance person was placed upon its own resources ("eine auf sich selbstgestellte Persönlichkeit"
. In what sense does Burckhardt's characterization of Renaissance culture reflect this characteristic of the personality? Illustrate it in terms of a few well-chosen cultural features. III-2. Tocqueville in De la démocratie en Amérique seems to believe that the evolving society will enable happiness, but not nobility; Weber in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism despairs of both. Why this difference?
Exam 2
Imaginative Literature
I-1. Describe and discuss critically the language of jealousy in Eugene Onegin or Othello or the Odyssey. Whichever main text you choose, you have the option of alluding to the others by way of suggestive comparison.
I-2. "Dostoevsky with his great genius had the opportunity to become a liberator of mankind. Instead he became one of its jailers." Comment with reference to Crime and Punishment.
Comment.
Philosophy, Religion, and Theology
II-1. The unsystematic and unfinished form of Pascal's Pensées has been considered part of its strength by some readers and part of its weakness by others. Reflect on the issue of form in Pascal's Pensées for understanding the content of his position on the relation of "faith" and "reason."
II-2. If the burning love to be with God is the driving power in the mystic, how can "detachment" be the key to mystical theology in Eckhart's German Sermons?
History and Social Theory
III-1. Discuss Herodotus' account of the Ionian Revolt (499 B.C.). What does this narrative tell us about his view of how history happens, and how things go wrong?
III-2. "Thus the principle of equality, in proportion as it has established itself in the world, has dried up most of the old springs of poetry. Let us now attempt to show what new ones it may disclose." Democracy in America II, 1:23. Lolita might be read as yet another account of the fascination the unformed democracy of the new world holds for the weary civilization of the old. Discuss how much Nabokov, an aristocrat but a poet "living in democratic times," bears out Tocqueville's observations and predictions about the new "springs of poetry" and "the delineation of the ideal" in Democracy in America.
Exam 3
Imaginative Literature
I-1. Comment on the significance of the choral "Ode to Man" ("Many wonders there be, but none more wondrous than man," line 333ff.) for the Antigone as a whole.
I-2. "Remember that I am thy creature (the monster warns his maker). I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel whom thou drivest from joy." Discuss the creator's obligations toward his "creature," toward himself, and toward society. How many monsters are there in Frankenstein?
Philosophy, Religion, and Theology
II-1. In a most succinct formulation about eros, Socrates (in the center of his speech in the Symposium) concludes that "eros is of the good to be one's own always." Yet, in the final portion of his speech (the "ladder"
, eros seems focused on the beautiful rather than on the good. What, according to Socrates' speech taken as a whole, is the relation between the beautiful and the good, and especially as they might be "objects" of eros? II-2. Heidegger's 1927 masterwork, Being and Time, was published only as a fragment, yet the question which ends the published version of the book seems a fitting conclusion. Its last sentence is: "Does time itself manifest itself as the horizon of Being?" What do you think this question means; and what sorts of considerations do you think Heidegger appeals to in the body of the book to support an affirmative answer to it?
History and Social Theory
III-1. "Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War exemplifies all the difficulties inherent in seeking and presenting historical knowledge." Discuss.
III-2. What is Freud's theory of the retrospective assignment of meaning? How is this theory deployed in the argument in Moses and Monotheism? What is the significance of meaning being retrospectively conferred?

核心词汇解析
assist = as(to) + sist(stand) vt. (站在一旁来) 协助
press con. = press conference 新闻发布会
press free. = press freedom 言论自由
press 是“压”的意思,怎么会变成“新闻”,“言论”呢?
因为最初的报纸都是油墨印刷,需要把纸紧紧的压在刻版上才能印刷出字来.所以press有了一个引申意:n.出版业,印刷业. 出版印刷业不就是发布新闻和言论的阵地吗?
obligation n.义务
investigation n.调查
I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you. I believe everyone’s priority now (and) my priority now is to stop the suffering and pain, for not letting this…we do not want to let this situation become more out of control.

The Ten Commandments(摩西十诫)
紫楠 发表于 2008-01-09 00:04:56
First
"I am The Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."
(第一条:我是耶和华-你的上帝,曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来,除了我之外,你不可有别的神。)
Second
"You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I The Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Commandments."
(第二条:不可为自己雕刻偶像,也不可做什么形象仿佛上天、下地,和地底下、水中的百物。不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉它,因为我耶和华-你的上帝是忌邪的上帝。恨我的,我必追讨他的罪,自父及子,直到三四代;爱我、守我戒命的,我必向他们发慈爱,直到千代。)
Third
"You shall not take The Name of The Lord your God in vain; for The Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain."
(第三条:不可妄称耶和华-你上帝的名;因为妄称耶和华名的,耶和华必不以他为无罪。)
Fourth
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to The Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days The Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."
(第四条:当记念安息日,守为圣日。六日要劳碌做你的工,但第七日是向耶和华-你上帝当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜,并你城里寄居的客旅,无论何工都不可做;因为六日之内,耶和华造天、地、海,和其中的万物,第七日便安息,所以耶和华赐福与安息日,定为圣日。)
Fifth
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which The Lord your God gives you."
(第五条:当孝敬父母,使你的日子在耶和华-你上帝所赐你的土地上得以长久。)
Sixth
"You shall not kill."
(第六条:不可杀人。)
Seventh
"You shall not commit adultery."
(第七条:不可奸淫。)
Eighth
"You shall not steal."
(第八条:不可偷盗。)
Ninth
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
(第九条:不可做假见证陷害人。)
Tenth
"You shall not covet your neighbor s house; you shall not covet your neighbor s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor s."
(第十条:不可贪恋人的房屋;也不可贪恋人的妻子、仆婢、牛驴,并他一切所有的)
中国大校透露:解放军很快会“小打”一次!!!
紫楠 发表于 2007-12-29 23:07:05
中国海军陆战队两栖坦克向滩头发起进攻
台独势力越来越嚣张,台海危机日趋升温。中国人民解放军军事学院战役战术部研究员、大校朱绍鹏昨天在深圳演讲时表示,就算是要牺牲包括我在内的60万将士,解放军也会义无反顾地打好这一仗!解放军对台作战的基本原则和作战思路──“攻心为上、夺控为重;岛内决战、岛外决胜”。
进入7月底8月初,大陆、台湾与美方的军演交错进行。台军更在金门掉转炮口,对准大陆方向进行实弹炮击训练.
中国人民解放军军事学院战役战术部研究员、大校朱绍鹏昨天在深圳演讲时表示,如果台独分子一再挑衅大陆、挑衅一中原则的话,解放军将被迫采取动作──“台海必有一战,而且,这一战,不会等待很长的时间,双方可能会小打”。他强调,“这不会很慢,你很快就会看到。”商报记者刘和平
不惜牺牲义无反顾
朱绍鹏此次是应深圳报业集团旗下《晶报》的邀请,到深圳作题为“战争阴云下的台海局势”的演讲。【更多精彩,尽在★军事第一播报★ http://jsdybb.netsh.com.cn】
这位1949年出生、现供职解放军军事科学院战役战术部研究员的大校,长期从事作战理论研究,并担任国防大学和部队多所中高级指挥院校的兼职(客座)教授。
朱绍鹏表示,随著台独势力日益嚣张,目前台海形势已经越来越严峻,越来越复杂。“台海必有一战”的断言,正逐渐变为现实,解放军采取武力解决这一问题,是无奈之举,是被迫之举。50多年来,大陆始终本著和平统一的立场和原则,争取对岸,争取宝岛回归,但事实一再证明,岛内台独势力日益坐大,去中国化的趋势日益增加,在这种情况下,中国人民解放军将被迫对台一战。
争取岛外解决问题
朱大校说,其实,中国前后三代领导人毛泽东、邓小平、江主席,都作好了“台海要打一仗”的思想准备。
朱绍鹏讲话充满激情,他说,这场战争,对中国人民解放军来说,既不是传统意义上的人民战争,也不是解放军以前打过的机械化战争,而是一场全新的高科技战争。解放军将会采取“攻心为上、夺控为重、岛内决战、岛外决胜”的作战方针。在一般情况下,解放军尽量不要上岛,争取在岛外解决问题。【更多精彩,尽在★军事第一播报★ http://jsdybb.netsh.com.cn】
朱绍鹏预计,鋻于目前的台海局势,解放军会把对台作战看成是一个长期的连续过程,会先从小动作做起,逐步形成对台动武的有利战略态势,并在合适时期发起关键性行动,以达到军事行动的政治目的。
朱绍鹏面对聆听演讲的听众说:“这个小动作,不会让你们等很长的时间,不会很慢,在座的很快就会看到,双方会小打”。他进一步透露说,解放军的所谓“小打”,会先拿下金门、马祖,俘虏岛上的4万守军,给台独势力造成政治上的压力。他补充说,解放军所以这样做,是因为,金门和马祖这两个小岛,不在“美国对台关系法”的保护范围内,届时,美方将找不到干预的借口。
而对于攻岛的关键性行动,朱绍鹏解释说,解放军将会首先选择台方的指挥机构、观察系统进行打击,其次分别攻击作战系统和关系台湾经济运行和社会稳定的经济要点。
两周内拿下台湾
有现场听众问,台军有将近40万士兵,且拥有美方提供的先进武器作后盾,有报道说,解放军要拿下台湾,可能会面临著牺牲60余万将士的代价。解放军是否真有决心打赢这一仗?【更多精彩,尽在★军事第一播报★ http://jsdybb.netsh.com.cn】
朱绍鹏对此斩钉截铁地说,假如没有美方的介入,解放军可以在一至两周内拿下台湾。退一步讲,就算是要牺牲包括我在内的60万将士,解放军也会义无反顾地打好这一仗。
台湾无能力以武拒统
朱绍鹏认为,可以肯定的是,从军事上来讲,台湾“没有资格独立”。他表示今天的战争已不同于传统作战,它是一场信息化程度很高的战争,强调信息获取、信息支援、信息保障、远程精确打击、军队快速反应、综合保障能力等等,这些因素决定了战争的胜负。从其中几方面来讲,台湾就不具备“搞独立”的“资格”。
第一,信息获取方面,虽然有美国的支援,台湾自己也搞了一些信息系统,但如果两岸真正打起来,由于台湾岛太小,这些信息系统很容易就在开战之初就摧毁,因而会很快失去信息优势。
台导弹只是二流产品
第二,导弹远程精确打击能力和抗打击能力太弱。台湾虽从外国购进了许多导弹,自身也在不断仿制和生产一些,但终归是人家的二流产品,与解放军的导弹比起来存在很大差距。解放军的导弹研制有40多年的历史了,生产的导弹可以从外太空到贴近水面的全空间对台湾实施多个角度导弹攻击,战端一开,将令他们防不胜防。
