編輯推薦
在西方,提起西藏言必稱“世界屋脊”,虔誠的喇嘛和充滿異域情調的宗教場景,帶著狡黠而又神秘的微笑的“神王”達賴喇嘛以及政治口號“自由西藏”,等等。盧森堡學者阿爾伯特·艾廷格(Albert Ettinger)這部*藏學研究成果,為讀者展示了“西藏神話”背後另一番歷史圖景,還原了西藏的本來面目。Yet it is also possible that the phrase “hell on earth” comes to mind. Both the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government often used the term in relation to Tibet. Yet they both meant something completely different. For the Dalai Lama, the new Chinese Tibet that he left behind in 1959 is “hell” and a “large prison,” particularly because he believes that the Chinese oppress Tibetan Buddhism that he considers the core of Tibetan identity. However, from a Chinese perspective, it is the escaped god-king himself and the former Tibetan elite that stand for a “hell on earth”, namely for the old, traditional Tibet that was a deeply inhumane, dreadful, tyrannical, and corrupt feudal society.
