達賴喇嘛 Dalai Lama

提倡以非暴力方式保護西藏人民的遺產。

Introduction:

1989:

年諾貝爾和平獎

1996:

年起成為 PeaceJam 基金會委員。

第十四世達賴喇嘛是藏傳佛教的領袖,被視為菩薩的化身。他於 1935 年出生在中國的阿爾多地區,並於 1937 年被選為第十三世達賴喇嘛的轉世靈童,1939 年正式確認為第十四世達賴喇嘛。達賴喇嘛於 1940 年在拉薩受封,1950 年開始擔任西藏的世俗職責,直到流亡至印度。自流亡後,他成立了西藏流亡政府,並持續為西藏問題尋求和平解決方案。 

達賴喇嘛致力於推動西藏人民的福祉,並倡導與中國和平解決西藏問題的中間道路。他不僅在世界各地宣講佛教教義,還參與許多國際會議,關注環境、經濟、婦女權利、非暴力等議題。他於 1989 年,因為「倡導基於寬容和相互尊重的和平解決方案,以保護其人民的歷史和文化遺產」而獲得諾貝爾和平獎,並被《時代》雜誌稱為甘地的精神繼承人。 

諾貝爾委員會在選擇達賴喇嘛時強調,他的和平佛教哲學建立在對眾生的敬畏和對人與自然的普遍責任的理念之上。儘管發生了殘酷的暴力行為,西藏領導人仍表現出妥協和尋求和解的意願。 

和平獎的頒發使達賴喇嘛有機會提出恢復西藏和平與人權的計畫。在該計劃中,他建議將該國變成一個非軍事區,可以作為亞洲主要大國之間的緩衝區。

諾貝爾得獎致詞 Nobel Speech

達賴喇嘛在諾貝爾和平獎頒獎詞中表達了對該獎項的謙卑和感激之情。他表示接受這個獎項是對他所實踐的利他主義、愛、慈悲和非暴力價值的認可,這些價值是他根據佛陀和印度、西藏偉大智者的教導而遵循的。他代表所有受壓迫的人和為自由而奮鬥的人接受這個獎項,並特別感謝傳統非暴力行動的先驅甘地以及西藏人民。達賴喇嘛強調了西藏人民長期以來所遭受的苦難,並提出了與中國進行談判的建議,包括將整個西藏高原轉變為和平無害區。他呼籲建立基於平等、尊重和互利的關係,並表達了對全人類的關懷和對環境問題的重視。達賴喇嘛強調,儘管宗教和科學可能有所不同,但它們都傳達了所有事物的基本統一,並且相信所有宗教都追求相同的目標。最後,他對未來表達了樂觀,並祈禱所有人能夠通過人類的理解和愛建立一個更好的世界,從而減少所有生靈的痛苦。
