Marking Losar, the Tibetan New Year

PRESS STATEMENT

ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE

FEBRUARY 9, 2024

I extend my warmest wishes to all those celebrating Losar, the Tibetan New Year. On this first day of the Year of the Wood Dragon, we celebrate the strength and perseverance of the Tibetan community around the globe. Here in the United States, tens of thousands of Tibetan-Americans are integral to the preservation of Tibetans’ distinct cultural, linguistic, and religious heritage.

I wish Tibetans celebrating all across the world peace and prosperity in the new year. Losar Tashi Delek and Happy New Year!

在假期，您也许想阅读一本或几本相关西藏的英文书，下列是国际声援西藏运动 (ICT)的工作人员向您推荐的几本书。

《心对心—-关于对我们珍贵星球的爱与希望的对话》；达赖喇嘛尊者和帕特里克·麦克唐纳著

HEART TO HEART
A Conversation on Love and Hope for Our Precious Planet
By: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Patrick McDonnell

ICT President Tencho Gyatso says: “Every page has beautiful illustrations by Patrick and the words of His Holiness. The story is of a panda who looks to all the things going on in the world and wants to do something. He comes to Dharamsala, the exile home of His Holiness, to find inspiration, and His Holiness gives him beautiful advice. Patrick McDonnell has generously donated proceeds from the book to ICT. So you’ll be helping ICT as you purchase the book, and it’ll also bring you joy and happiness in your life, and if you gift it to others, in their lives as well.”

《现代藏人文集》; 丹增德吉编著

THE PENGUIN BOOK OF MODERN TIBETAN ESSAYS
By: Tenzin Dickie

ICT Research Officer Tenzin Norgay says: “This book is marvelous for the fact that this is written by Tibetan writers. It has 28 essays written by 22 authors who are the best writers currently writing on Tibet in Tibetan, English and Chinese. And it covers a range of topics from food, love, comedy, you name it. It’s a feast of Tibetan literature.”

《达赖喇嘛特使的回忆录—-追求西藏统一的一生》；嘉日洛珠坚赞著

THE DALAI LAMA’S SPECIAL ENVOY
Memoirs of a Lifetime in Pursuit of a Reunited Tibet
By: Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari

ICT Chief Administrative Officer Lesley Rich says: “I’m biased as Lodi was my mentor. He passed away in 2018, and his memoirs were published posthumously. In the book, Lodi Gyari talks about his devotion to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, his commitment to nonviolence and always keeping the Tibetans inside Tibet at the forefront of his mind throughout the dialogue process. Direct communication is the only viable way to resolve the situation in Tibet. Lodi Gyari’s book provides the guidance necessary to get us back to the negotiating table.”

《西藏勇士—-阿丁和康巴人为国家自由而战的故事》; 嘉央诺布著

WARRIORS OF TIBET
The Story of Aten and the Khampas’ Fight for the Freedom of their Country
By: Jamyang Norbu

ICT Deputy Director for Chinese Outreach Rinchen Tashi says: “This is the story of a Tibetan warrior named Aten and his people in Nyarong, Kham, Tibet. The peaceful lifestyle in Tibet was shattered by the invasion of Communist China in the 1950s. In this book, Aten tells of blood battles and the terrible suffering of his people and finally the murder of his family and his escape across the Himalayas to Dharamsala in northern India. I really, really wish you read this book to see how important it is to support the freedom of Tibet.”

《远离世界屋脊——与西藏难民游历四大洲》; 叶艾米著

FAR FROM THE ROOFTOP OF THE WORLD
Travels among Tibetan Refugees on Four Continents
By: Amy Yee

ICT Communications Officer Ashwin Verghese says: “This is an amazing book because it shows Tibetan exiles as not just serene monks or faceless victims of oppression, but as actual human beings whose lives are full of hopes and dreams, disappointments and resilience. The book also includes a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and a testimonial from ICT President Tencho Gyatso, so I recommend you check it out!”

就不久前在旧金山亚太经合组织领导人峰会期间，亲中共组织对藏人、维吾尔人、华人抗议人士实施的暴力和骚扰行为，美国国会及行政当局中国委员会的成员与人权倡导人士于12月12日上午在华盛顿举行新闻发布会 。

在会上多人发言并讨论了亲中共组织在旧金山举行的拜登-习近平会议期间袭击和恐吓藏人、维吾尔人以及华人的情况。

众议员斯蒂尔发言时说，她的父母是从朝鲜逃亡到美国的，所以她知道共产主义是如何运作的。 她说，我们在这里向中共发出强烈的信息，要求中国停止侵犯人权的行为。

众议员克里斯·史密斯 在谈到在旧金山举行的拜登与习近平会议期间抗议者遭到亲中组织暴力袭击的事件时说：“这些（遭受暴力袭击的）人是最优秀、最勇敢、最聪明的人，但他们却受到了可怕的虐待。”

中国人权组织的周峰锁表示，“面对中共的暴力行为，我们需要很大的勇气。一些抗议者曾在中国遭到殴打，现在他们又在美国遭到殴打。”  “我的藏人朋友曲色青弥头部被击中数次，”  他说， “这就是我们在美国面临的情况。”

香港维权人士郭凤仪说：“我真的希望我们能够更加关注跨国镇压。”

西藏自由学生组织的白玛卓玛 谈到亲中国组织拉扯西藏抗议者在停车场举着的横幅，差点把他们从几层楼扔到地上的恐怖景象。白马说，许多西藏抗议者只是青少年。 抗议者遭到跟踪、袭击、向他们扔沙子等等。三名藏人学生的手机被盗并扔进了水里。

白玛说： “像《促进解决中国-西藏冲突的法案》这样的立法是中共不希望人们听到的。 支持此类立法至关重要。

维吾尔裔美国人艾尔菲达尔·伊尔特比尔表示，中国的国家恐怖已经蔓延到美国并控制了这里的维吾尔公民。谈到维吾尔人、西藏人和华人抗议者时，她说： “在旧金山，我们就像兄弟姐妹一样我们将继续这场战斗，直到我们都获得自由”。

一名华人抗议者说他在旧金山遭到亲中共组织的残酷殴打。 他呼吁警方调查袭击者与中共之间的联系。
