杨建利《公民行》之五：达赖喇嘛来信/汪岷
(博讯北京时间2008年5月09日来稿)     5月8日，第五天。

     五月罗德岛海边的天气说变就变，昨日还阳光灿烂，今天就阴雨绵绵。傅湘的雨衣派上了用场。杨建利走在向康州的路上。 (博讯 boxun.com)


    风雨中，突然，一个电话令大家如同见了一束阳光：逹賴喇嘛办公室来电！
    传来一封达赖喇嘛给杨建利的支持信。他说，他支持杨建利的公民行，支持中国民主运动。从1989年天安门学生运动，他就已经说过，中国的前途在民主化。藏人并不反对汉人，他们反对的是专制。全世界都应该团结起来，民主和人权的理念将遍及所有地域。他为中国的民主运动祈福，为杨建利祈福。

    整整两页的达赖喇嘛支持信令杨博士振奋精神。尽管5天的步行和活动已令他有点疲劳。他放下了树枝拐杖，走得更快。

    他走到路旁一个医院，借用他们的洗手间，一些美国人从大堂走出来，惊呼连连：这就是今天在报纸上那个要走500里到华盛顿的中国人！医院的工作人员赶紧跑进去拿出照相机来。让他们和杨建利合照。

    顺便一提，今天早上当我们从旅馆出来结帐时。柜台经理说，他们也看到了当地的新闻。所以房钱减半。我们连忙说谢谢。

    途中还有不少电话打进来，询问我们的行程和步行路线，希望在途中和我们相见，陪杨建利走一段。纽约市不少人准备在纽约边境和杨建利一起走进城。有些来电远从几千里外。在西岸的旧金山的黄奔先生说，他因工作和生意不能来东岸陪建利。但也要步行五里路步行走到教会以表来自远方支持。更远的支持和响应来自香港和台湾。有团体愿意在当地也步行（公民行），我们希望未来公民行会出现在中国大陆。

    晚上，我们到了一个美国家庭，有了一个美好的夜晚聚会。当地10号电视台赶来。杨建利向美国家庭讲叙他在中国监狱中的故事。然后，他弹着吉他，唱着深情的歌，来回忆这些年月。晚上11时，10号电视播出聚会的过程，并播出1989年64天安门前学生运动的很多片段。这深深的感动了大家。我想，这种形式的聚会，一点都不会比过去海外民运的政治集会差，也许会更感性，更适合人民。现在也许是到了海外民运改一改新思维的时候了。在看这篇日誌的朋友们，你们说呢？

    当晚，我们就住宿在这个普通的美国人家里。主人把儿子，女儿的房间腾出来，让我们过了温馨的一夜。让我们感到美国人民和中国人民是心连心的。

    再见了，罗德岛和罗德岛人！

From His Holiness the Dalai Lama
MESSAGE

    I applaud Dr. Yang Jianli for leading a march from Boston to Washington, D.C. culminating on June 4, 2008 - the 19th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement.

    As a Tibetan, one of the most encouraging, moving and hopeful events in recent Chinese history has been the democracy movement of 1989. Chinese brothers and sisters displayed, openly and peacefully, their yearning for freedom, democracy, and human dignity. They embraced non-violence in a most impressive way, reflecting the value for which the movement stood.

    I maintain that the Chinese leadership's response to the peaceful demonstrations of 1989 was most unfortunate. It is my basic belief that brute force, no matter how powerful, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom, whether it is that of the Chinese democrats and the farmers, or the Tibetan people. On the other hand, everyone appreciates truth and respect, which are really in our blood. Truth is the best guarantor and the real foundation for freedom and democracy.

    China today is an emerging world power. The international community has acted wisely by making efforts to bring her into the mainstream of the world economy. But economic integration alone is not sufficient. China needs human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. These values are the foundation of a free, dynamic, stable, and peaceful society. Such a society would also offer far greater economic freedom, security, and other advantages to all citizens of the People's Republic of China.

    As a believer in non-violence, peace, and freedom, I have supported the non-violent democracy movement in China from the beginning. In spite of the brutal response from the authorities, I pray that those involved in China's democracy movement will always remain non-violent.

    It is ironical that today, while the Chinese Government is making every effort to get recognition as a leading world power, many Chinese people, particularly the victims of the Tiananmen tragedy, their parents, as well as farmers and workers, continue to be deprived of their basic rights. I hope and pray that the leaders of China will realize that a nation's greatness can only come about when it starts treating its own people with dignity and respect.

    I wish Dr. Yang Jianli all success in his present endeavor and hope the march will bring about greater awareness on the continuing plight of these people.

    With my prayers and good wishes,

    Dalai Lama
