Voice for the Voiceless: Over Seven Decades of Struggle with China for My Land and My People

「對我和我的人民而言，本書都是一部意義重大的著作……在我身為達賴喇嘛的角色中，沒有什麼比本書所提出的議題更為重要。」
──達賴喇嘛


★ 流亡超過六十五年的翔實記事，完整見證達賴喇嘛的信念、抗爭與希望

達賴喇嘛在本書中回顧了他的一生，流亡超過一甲子歲月，自解放軍入侵西藏以來與中共政權抗爭七十餘年，寫下他對西藏的情感、歷史與地緣政治的理解，以及他所看見的藏人的掙扎與受到的壓迫。

入侵西藏不僅是一次武力征服，同時也是對民族文化的侵略。面對同化壓力、宗教破壞，藏人在抵抗的過程中被流血鎮壓，百人以上的藏人自焚事件表達了他們的痛苦與憤怒，達賴喇嘛在回憶中理性而有力的敘事，傳達了他對於中共迫害的批判。

面臨苦難，依然堅持非暴力抗爭的和平理念──


達賴喇嘛於書中提及了過去從未公開的內容，談及與歷任中共領導人的交涉，並積極於國際間爭取支援的過程，亦從文化、歷史、身分認同闡述西藏人的處境。然而他始終堅持以非暴力的理念來爭取藏人的尊嚴與自由。這不僅是向印度聖雄甘地的學習，也是佛陀的教誨，面對最嚴峻的苦難，達賴喇嘛仍選擇以慈悲心面對，並展現出堅韌的智慧，為守護西藏的未來寄予深切的期望。

「儘管經歷了苦難與破壞，對於奮力爭取應有的自由與尊嚴，我們仍然秉持能夠找到和平解決之道的希望。」
──達賴喇嘛

In this unique book offering personal, spiritual, and historical reflections--some never shared before--His Holiness the Dalai Lama tells the full story of his struggle with China to save Tibet and its people for nearly seventy-five years.The Dalai Lama has had to contend with the People's Republic of China for about his entire life. He was sixteen years old when Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, only nineteen when he had his first meeting with Chairman Mao in Beijing, and twenty-five when he was forced to escape to India and became a leader in exile. In the decades since, he has faced Communist China's leaders--Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping--in his efforts to protect Tibet and its people, with their distinct language, culture, religion, history, and environment, in the face of the greatest possible obstacles.Now, almost seventy-five years after China's initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their own homeland. He offers his thoughts on the geopolitics of the region and shares how he personally was able to preserve his own humanity through the profound losses and challenges that threaten the very survival of the Tibetan people. This book captures the Dalai Lama's extraordinary life journey--discovering what it means to lose your home to a repressive invader and to build a life in exile; dealing with the existential crisis of a nation, its people, and its culture and religion; and envisioning the path forward.Voice for the Voiceless is a powerful testimony from a global icon, who shares both his pain and his enduring hope in his people's ongoing quest to restore dignity and freedom.
