【大纪元2013年03月21日讯】西藏在燃烧。迄今已有大约一百一十名藏人点燃自己，把烈焰焚身的痛苦和对自由的热爱一起，献给历史。
藏人自焚是反抗中共暴政文化性种族灭绝政策的自由运动。在人类数千年文明史中，还没有哪一个族群，像藏人这样，用如此炽烈而高贵方式，表达对自由的热爱，对独裁暴政的否定。每个自焚的藏人，都是一首英雄的史诗，都是一支自由的长歌，都是一位圣徒，都是一个骄傲的自由人。
自焚藏人最珍惜生命；他们是通过让生命升华为灿烂意义的方式珍惜生命。同那些终生作专制暴政的精神奴隶、让自己在物性贪欲中腐烂而死的庸人相比，自焚藏人才是以自由人的方式珍惜生命——他们不允许生命被铁血强权侮辱；他们珍惜生命的方式再次表述出一句必将流传千古的誓言： “不自由，毋宁死。”
燃烧的西藏在拷问人类的良知：面对中共暴政的经济引诱和利益收买，国际社会还有没有坚守自由信念的道德勇气。中共暴政是西藏的一切现实苦难和心灵悲情的根源。如果国际社会不敢对藏人自焚抗暴运动给予明确的肯定和坚定的支持，整个人类的自由事业都将遭受重大损失和挫折。
二十世纪五十年代，藏人同中共签订和平协议，把决定自己政治命运的权利交给中共暴政；试图以此换来和平和安定的生活，但是，藏人换来的却是政治奴役，经济剥夺；换来的却是约一百二十万藏人在军事屠杀、政治迫害、酷刑和劳改营的苦役中死去；换来的却是藏人忠实于心灵的生活方式受到摧残。直到今天，藏人还不得不通过自焚的悲怆方式，争取作自由人的权利。
把人民主权和国格交给中共暴政，只能换来奴役和民族人格的屈辱；《中华人民共和国》宪法框架之内只有奴役，没有自由。中共在西藏实施六十余年的暴政专制，中共在西藏犯下的重重反人类罪行，就构成藏人复国的全部理由。惨烈至极的历史教训告诉藏人，失去自己的祖国，就意味着失去一切。
在此，我呼吁一切把自由视为整个人类共同事业的人们，明确而坚定地支持西藏自由运动；明确而坚定地声援藏人自焚抗暴运动。
我坚信，中共暴政在东亚大陆犯下的不可饶恕的反人类罪行，总有一天会受到正义的审判。当正义终于降临的时刻，历史会怀着崇高敬意记起自焚的藏人——那些把燃烧的生命作为祭品献给自由的英雄。
前些日子，我写出一首献给自焚藏人的歌，歌名是《自焚圣火之歌》。现在，请允许我为大家诵读这支歌的歌词，作为这次讲话的结束语。
《自焚圣火之歌》
随长风燃烧，伴烈焰起舞；
点一盏礼佛的金灯，在雪山之巅；
点一团自由的圣火，在苍穹之巅；
火烧起来，是死的起点；
火燃成灰，是心灵的回归。
火焰中有祖先的荣耀，
火焰中有自由人的骄傲；
挥舞金焰欢笑的，是雪域铁汉，
在红焰中放歌的，是高原美人。
太阳哭了，雅鲁藏布是他无尽的泪；
苍天哭了，暴风雨是他漫天的悲；
噢——我哭了，燃烧的心化作安魂曲。

Burning Tibet is Interrogating the Conscience of Mankind
Hong Bing Yuan
Tibet is burning. Up to today, there have been about one hundred and ten Tibetan people who set themselves on fire. Combined with the agony of being burnt alive, they devoted their lives to freedom to be remembered in history.
Tibetan people’s self-immolation is a movement of freedom protesting against the cultural genocide policy of the Chinese Communist tyranny. In the past several thousands of years of human civilisation, there have not been any ethnic groups yet express their love for freedom and their denial to the tyranny of dictatorship in such a passionate and noble way, like the Tibetan people. Every self-immolated Tibetan is like a piece of a heroic epic, a song of freedom, a saint and a proud free man.
The self-immolated Tibetan people cherished life the most, just others; they cherished life in the way of letting their lives sublimate to a brilliant significance. Comparing with the mediocrities who are content with being the spiritual slaves of tyranny all their lives and letting themselves decay to death in material desire, the Tibetan people self-immolated to cherish their lives in the way of true free men —- they did not allow their lives to be insulted by the iron grip of power and suppression. The way they cherished lives once again demonstrated their oath which will endure for all ages: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.
The burning Tibet is interrogating the conscience of mankind: facing the economic temptation, interests and bribes from the Chinese Communist tyranny, whether if international society still has the moral courage to adhere to the values of freedom. The Chinese Communist tyranny is the root cause of all sufferings and spiritual sorrows of Tibet. The ideology of freedom of the whole world will suffer heavy losses and setbacks if the international society dares not to give clear and solid support to the Tibetans’ self-immolation movement protest against the Chinese Communist tyranny.
In the nineteen fifties, Tibetan people signed the Peace Agreement with the Chinese Communist Party, thus gave the right of deciding the political fate of Tibetans to the communist tyranny; they tried to buy some space for a peaceful and settled life. However, what Tibetan people bought was political slavery and economic deprivation; there were about 1.2 million of Tibetan people died in military slaughter, political persecution and torturing in forced labour camps. Until today, the Tibetan people still have no choice but to struggle for the rights of freedom in such a sorrowful way of self-immolation.
Giving sovereignty and their national dignity to the Communist tyranny, they received nothing but the humiliating disgrace to their national personality and slavery; within the framework of the constitution of the People’s Republic of China, there is no freedom, only slavery. The tyranny of Chinese Communist Party suppressed Tibet for over sixty years; the countless anti-humanity crimes the Chinese Communist Party committed in Tibet, is the whole reason for Tibetan people to restore Tibet to its original state. Their tragic historical lessons taught the Tibetan people that losing their own lands means losing everything.
Here, I call upon on all people who regard freedom as the common cause of whole mankind to support Free Tibet Movement firmly; to support Tibetan’s self-immolation protests firmly.
I strongly believe that those unforgivable anti-humanity crimes the Chinese Communist tyranny committed in East Asia will be brought to justice. When the coming of justice is here at last, history will remember those self-immolated Tibetan people with the highest honours — they are heroes who ignited their lives with burning flames for freedom.
I wrote some lyrics for a song to those Tibetan people who set themselves in fire the other day. The name of the song is “Song of Sacred Fire of Self-Immolations”. Now, please allow me to recite these lyrics for you, to conclude my speech.
Song of Sacred Fire of Self-Immolations
Burning with the wind, dancing to roaring flames;
Ignite a golden light to Buddha, on the peak of snow-capped mountains;
Ignite a sacred fire of freedom, on the highest summit in heaven;
Let the fire burn, it’s the start of death;
From flame to dust, it’s the return of heart and soul.
In the fire contains the glories of their ancestors,
In the fire contains pride of free men;
Smiling in the golden flames, are iron-willed men of the snowy lands,
Those singing loudly in the fiery flames, are the beauties of the highlands.
The Sun cries, Yalutsangpo River is his/her endless tears;
The sky cries, rainstorm is his/her blanketing sadness;
Oh —- I cry, my burning heart turns into a requiem.
