以下是卡马如康先生发言中文译文与英文全文。
==============================================
我再次感谢你们再一次的邀请我参加你们这么重要的集会。对这次的集会我带来了我个人的祝福﹐也带来西藏人民的祝福。我同时也替达赖喇嘛为中国人民带来祝福。他总是称呼中国人民为他的兄弟姐妹。我们在基本权利努力上有着相同的立场。
今天当我看到大纪元报纸时﹐我非常的惊讶。我每两个礼拜都会拿到大纪元报纸﹐而我从来不会错过的。报纸上确定了我昨天在国会山庄上听到的消息。那就是﹐中共政府在这个伟大的民主国家内﹐利用中国的学生和学者替中共政府做事。我今天早上真的是很震惊的看到中国的学生们会在这个国家从事有政治争议的事情。你们相信吗﹖我想你们比我更了解这类的事情。
如果中共政府在美国会对自己的学生和学者做这样的事情﹐那么他们在中国﹐在新疆﹐在西藏和其他少数民族地区有什么事情他们不敢做﹖只要稍微想想就知道了。
所以﹐今天在这个纪念法轮功精神运动被镇压的伟大的集会上﹐我向那些年纪轻轻就失去生命的人致敬。为什么要致敬﹖你们连想一下他们是为了自己的利益的想法都是不对的。他们是为了自由﹐为了宗教自由﹐以及为他们所信仰而坚持的。他们坚持的理念大过个人的利益。
所以我相信法轮功群体坚信和实践他们所珍惜的。法轮功是一个和平精神运动﹐有着真诚、爱和慈悲﹐是所有现在的宗教都需要的。但是﹐为什么法轮功受到不同的对待﹖尤其是受到中共政府不同的对待﹖
所有失去生命的人们﹐他们的牺牲激励着我们继续做下去。他们的牺牲获得了补偿﹐尤其是在1989年以后。
我看了所有的海报﹐上面写着法轮功学员被虐杀致死的人数超过了3000人。我真的相信有些法轮功学员宝贵的器官被当成商品卖掉了。所以今天当我们数算共产党这些日子的罪行的时候﹐数算成千上万死去的老百姓的时候﹐这些都要算在共产党的头上﹐都要算做它们自己的罪行。
所有的人都知道中国是个伟大的文明国家。事实上﹐做为一个伟大的国家﹐中国也应该担当起世界的领袖﹐因为它有着丰富的文化与文明﹐所以它可以称霸世界。但是﹐它却放弃了所有好的东西﹐现在正疯狂的追求美国的钞票。
多丢脸啊﹐我们在国会山庄的参众议员们不敢告诉老百姓美国的公司企业﹐美国的商品﹐以及美国的经济人才都在拼命的去中国赚钱﹐尽快的多赚钱。同时﹐令人惊讶的是中国的老百姓也疯狂的追求金钱。所以挑战是巨大的。但是我们都知道﹐历史是重复的。现在历史常常非常快速的重复着﹐所以当一件重大的事情正在发生的时候我们甚至都不知道。
现在说起来已经是历史的事情了﹐那就是﹐突然的苏联解体了﹐整个东欧共产党解体了。所以又有什么能够使中国不会发生同样的事情呢﹖我们只要看看中国的经济问题﹐生态环境的问题﹐以及这个礼拜发生超过4 万次的打雷闪电就知道了。甚至连大地之母的自然现在都跟中国搞不好了。
所以我与来自世界各地的你们一起祷告﹐尤其是在这里﹐我常常祷告﹐因为我们有一个好的信仰。有能量与虔诚的西藏人和其他地区的人﹐有一天﹐我知道不是最近的将来﹐但是会很快的﹐会和很多的中国人﹐在人们努力下﹐就像你们所付出的一样﹐我相信有一天﹐我们会跨越海洋回到中国。
2008年的奥运就在眼前了﹐我相信你们会去参加。许多的人们﹐甚至西藏的老百姓们﹐虽然人数不多﹐但是我们从几个月以前就开始制作了大量的宣传资料。而现在这个时候在印度的首都新德里﹐有一些学者和代表正在绝食抗议﹐今天已经是第11天了。他们的诉求是什么呢﹖他们想要中共政府证实在中国一切事情是公开的﹐就是西藏人民在中国有人权﹐以及能够将罪犯带到安全的地方。你们大概听过班禅喇嘛﹐他在年仅5岁的时候﹐就被当成政治犯被中国人监禁起来。他们从来不让他公开露面﹐但是他们说他一切都很好。所以这些学者和代表们要求中国让班禅喇嘛露面。所以让我们从现在开始计算到奥林匹克运动会的日子﹐我想我们会看到国际上有一些特别的事情会发生﹐尤其是在奥林匹克运动会的会场上。
再一次的谢谢你们邀请我参加这个集会﹐我期待将来仍然和你们一起合作。
谢谢﹗
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.
