【大紀元2013年03月21日訊】西藏在燃燒。迄今已有大約一百一十名藏人點燃自己，把烈焰焚身的痛苦和對自由的熱愛一起，獻給歷史。
藏人自焚是反抗中共暴政文化性種族滅絕政策的自由運動。在人類數千年文明史中，還沒有哪一個族群，像藏人這樣，用如此熾烈而高貴方式，表達對自由的熱愛，對獨裁暴政的否定。每個自焚的藏人，都是一首英雄的史詩，都是一支自由的長歌，都是一位聖徒，都是一個驕傲的自由人。
自焚藏人最珍惜生命；他們是通過讓生命昇華為燦爛意義的方式珍惜生命。同那些終生作專制暴政的精神奴隸、讓自己在物性貪慾中腐爛而死的庸人相比，自焚藏人才是以自由人的方式珍惜生命——他們不允許生命被鐵血強權侮辱；他們珍惜生命的方式再次表述出一句必將流傳千古的誓言： 「不自由，毋寧死。」
燃燒的西藏在拷問人類的良知：面對中共暴政的經濟引誘和利益收買，國際社會還有沒有堅守自由信念的道德勇氣。中共暴政是西藏的一切現實苦難和心靈悲情的根源。如果國際社會不敢對藏人自焚抗暴運動給予明確的肯定和堅定的支持，整個人類的自由事業都將遭受重大損失和挫折。
二十世紀五十年代，藏人同中共簽訂和平協議，把決定自己政治命運的權利交給中共暴政；試圖以此換來和平和安定的生活，但是，藏人換來的卻是政治奴役，經濟剝奪；換來的卻是約一百二十萬藏人在軍事屠殺、政治迫害、酷刑和勞改營的苦役中死去；換來的卻是藏人忠實於心靈的生活方式受到摧殘。直到今天，藏人還不得不通過自焚的悲愴方式，爭取作自由人的權利。
把人民主權和國格交給中共暴政，只能換來奴役和民族人格的屈辱；《中華人民共和國》憲法框架之內只有奴役，沒有自由。中共在西藏實施六十餘年的暴政專制，中共在西藏犯下的重重反人類罪行，就構成藏人復國的全部理由。慘烈至極的歷史教訓告訴藏人，失去自己的祖國，就意味著失去一切。
在此，我呼籲一切把自由視為整個人類共同事業的人們，明確而堅定地支持西藏自由運動；明確而堅定地聲援藏人自焚抗暴運動。
我堅信，中共暴政在東亞大陸犯下的不可饒恕的反人類罪行，總有一天會受到正義的審判。當正義終於降臨的時刻，歷史會懷著崇高敬意記起自焚的藏人——那些把燃燒的生命作為祭品獻給自由的英雄。
前些日子，我寫出一首獻給自焚藏人的歌，歌名是《自焚聖火之歌》。現在，請允許我為大家誦讀這支歌的歌詞，作為這次講話的結束語。
《自焚聖火之歌》
隨長風燃燒，伴烈焰起舞；
點一盞禮佛的金燈，在雪山之巔；
點一團自由的聖火，在蒼穹之巔；
火燒起來，是死的起點；
火燃成灰，是心靈的回歸。
火焰中有祖先的榮耀，
火焰中有自由人的驕傲；
揮舞金焰歡笑的，是雪域鐵漢，
在紅焰中放歌的，是高原美人。
太陽哭了，雅魯藏布是他無盡的淚；
蒼天哭了，暴風雨是他漫天的悲；
噢——我哭了，燃燒的心化作安魂曲。

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.
