再来铁鸟


小时候喜欢折纸飞机
教室上空总是会有很多纸飞机
颜色、大小各异
很是好玩

上大学时
第一次坐上真真的飞机 - 铁鸟
离开了拉萨

几十年过去了
西藏地上有了穿梭的铁龙
西藏上空也多了很多的铁鸟
野牦牛不得不给铁龙让道了
燕子不得不躲着铁鸟了

而今天又看到新闻说
日喀则要建西藏第五个民用机场
平机场
乱世里的“细底”机场

真不明白西藏遍地的“鲁”
怎么就可以和这些异物
铁龙、铁鸟、铁鱼...
如此和谐并存

Self-Reflection

离开,是为了更好的回来
不用上班了,可以睡到自然醒
从新调整生物钟、调整思绪
时间空间,让自己活得更明白点
失业了,自愿下岗了

Once again, I am unemployed. With my last job I have learned that what I am interested most, and what I have to do.  Living in ordered city, Lhasa, without some kind of self-reflection our life is just perfect as it was given. But to take a break for self-refection and self-definition...

well, everyone paranoid everywhere, but in long-run how in such environment a productive and meaningful life could have survived...guesss we all need a space....

No Time Like The Present

Surfing around...news, gossips, music, movies, photos...
the world has gone mad!

after years a yak finally got his passport
immediately started his world travel
beach - too hot
mountain - too much
New york - too loud
London - too busy
Tokyo - too crowd
Paris - too crazy
...
shortly landed in Madrid
where his cousin bull lives
hug, kiss, music, dance, wine...
but then
shortly ended his life in a bullring
...
相请不如偶遇,不知道贾宏宇是在什么情境下创作的。前几天,突然想起此作品,感觉很适合红色三月,所以再次拿出来晒晒。

一 头牦牛不知出于什么原因,错误地走进斗牛场。杀红了眼的斗牛士们不由分说,乱剑砍死了这头牦牛。这个简短的故事像是一个多重指涉的寓言:即是所有现代化 进程中的民族国家的寓言,也是旅行者对于前程和命运的焦虑,更是人们对于陌生之物的普遍态度的一种症状。胜利者和受伤害者的形象并不完全等同于强者和弱 者,也许胜利和死亡本身,都是建立在恐惧、误解之上,都是命运的游戏。

3.9.50


3年前,在更顿群培画廊看到过用芭比,做的一件行为艺术作品,可惜当时没拍照。几天新闻网上看到消息说藏式“芭比娃娃”出炉了。福喜妹一个有加米名字的博日普姆。而且巨贵, 3000元一个妹妹。 Indeed, I have no interest in Barbie, but again just read - today is Barbie's 50th Birthday. I didn't know before that Barbie is manufactured by Mattel, Inc. and launched in 1959.3.9. What a coincident! After 50 years, Barbie is on top of the world. Today, maybe 福喜妹, the lucky and happy girl from Tibet is also happily celebrating world barbie girl's 50th....

Another 3.9,Tibetan Human Rights, Tibet Menschenrechte, Les droits de l'hommet du Tibet and 西藏人权网,中国第一个以西藏人权为主题的网站今天开通了。十几个板块,4种语言....very comprehensive information in English, German, French and Chinese, but Tibetan language!

信仰爱情

下来,或者我跟你走
请原谅我的爱,诉说的太缓慢

我不相信刻骨铭心的爱情
但蓝色的海、白色的沙、发黄的信纸
放弃与坚持、失败与努力
梦想、等待... 60年的等待
还有摇滚乐、原住民、老人与小孩

我被感动了
没有理由不感动
I believe in Love

海还是海,山还是山
情依依 爱绵绵
山盟海誓,却不抵“留下来,或者我跟你走”

喜欢在山间行走,巨享受在山路间,上气不接下去的感觉。但也很喜欢大海,特别是晚上的海。记得在缅甸Chaungtha beach, 一个人在海边看海看到半夜。在柬埔寨,又是一个人骑车看海看到,前面没有路没有人...... 也记得曾经因为我突然一句,我很喜欢“加措”,让友人惊诧不已...

如果海会说话,如果风爱上砂
如果有些想念遗忘在漫长的长假

音乐的故事。每首都好听,电影原声更是。特别是 Don't wanna 宣泄的情感,其实不就是我们自己的生活....
so many times I've tried
put in my heart and soul
never good enough for you
I'm sick of all your lies
it's time to realize
I'm better off without you

don't wanna be a fool and a slave
to satisfy your needs
not gonna waste my time and my life
to settle in your dreams

you said it's over
it's never over
it's time for something new
I tried so hard
to get this over
to follow something new

Losar in snowland




过年了 下雪了
银色的圣城拉萨
用舞动的五彩隆达祈福众生
安宁 祥和 健康 幸福 快乐

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

随想

好几年没在家过Losar了。小时候,都说不是 Losar 是 Laysar。虽然物质不丰富,但还得提前准备一两个月。大人忙得不亦乐乎,小孩盼星星盼月亮,等29热乎乎的帕突和热闹的驱鬼仪式,更是想早点穿上新年的新装,并虔诚地在祖拉康佛前祷告。总之所有人在享受过程,乐在其中。Losar是过程,是全家人在一起准备的过程,是大街上小巷里每日穿梭的博日,是15酥油灯照亮的圣城....Losar 是没有终点的一个一个过程....

而现如今,物质富裕了Losar 不再需要提前准备一两个月了。小孩期待是汉堡包,是薯条,满柜子是平时穿的新衣服。祖拉康也不是什么人都想去,可以去的地了,15的夜只能看看月亮了。Losar变了,变成那一个点 - 初一。一个没有过程的节日。

乱世的和平世界

铁竹堂 一个从来没有听说过的乐队
乱世的年代 突然有一天听到 和平世界!

No one really gets along we're all enemies and foes 
We take(away)each other's freedom 
Forthe most selfish reasons 
Somehow we're all killers we kill as we're breathing

为什么对我开枪为什么互相叫骂 
为什么让我受伤为什么同是人类却感到害怕 
为什么侵略我的家 难道说和平真的只是古老的神话 
不过 我还是站在这里 保护我的兄弟 
不管是要死要活我都跟你在一起 剩最后一口气 
我不会忘记 用我的血液 对这场战役 作无声的抗议

It's time 2 say goodbye but baby don't u cry
你不要太难过 因为我一直都在
Cuz i'll be there up high be always by ur side 
你不会太寂寞 因为我不曾离开

说说这世界
唱唱这和平
就这么 再一次被rap电到


This is for my soldiers...
It's my specidal prayer. I pray for you...

And since the day of our birth
Our humble existence on earth
For some life is like a blessing
For some it's worse than a curse
But when you're facing drama
You know you gotta stay a soldier
Whether you pray to the lord
Brahma allah even buddha
Maybe we should listen to the pope
And listen to the dalai lama
but now everywhere is war
Children grown into trauma
Phobias drive us in (to) conflicts
Religious racial economic
Creeds and convictions 
We're fighting each other over bullshoot 
But that's the life the strife 
That's just the way it goes 
No one really gets along we're all enemies and foes 
We take(away)each other's freedom 
Forthe most selfish reasons 
Somehow we're all killers we kill as we're breathing

By not helping grandparents 
Mothers sisters and brothers 
Father please forgive us before 
We all hurt one another 
The only thing universal is blood sweat and tears 
For years the young the elderly and all my dying peers   

It's time 2 say goodbye but baby don't u cry
你不要太难过 因为我一直都在 
Cuz i'll be there up high be always by ur side
你不会太寂寞 因为我不曾离开

也许上帝创造生命只是一个笑话 为什么 
人们虽然知道生命是无价 却互相残杀 
和平世界只会出现在童话 
现实生活中的生命总是遭到无情践踏 无穷的欲望 
每个人都想拥有一切
最后的希望 谁能拯救这世界 
别让它从和平意识还在萌芽的时候 
就被疯狂的人类进行攻击而遭到毁灭
面对死亡的时候才会知道真相
当生命结束的时候一切都只是假象
就像梦一场你能带走哪一样
金钱权力或毒品哪个能够带上天堂
天上的神请帮助我教导我该怎么做
才能够让世人了解这后果
如果当子弹穿过脑袋的时候才能够看透
也许这世界已经没有救没有救

It's time 2 say goodbye but baby don't u cry
你不要太难过 因为我一直都在
Cuz i'll be there up high be always by ur side
你不会太寂寞 因为我不曾离开

Why when i open my eyes i see no peace and no love? 
I see people cry and die 
More tears more sweat more blood 
Living under constant danger 
It don't matter where you are 
Somehow someone will always be 
More than ready to start a war 

Each day hour and second gotta hold on to your weapon 
And if they kill you first die hero go to heaven 
Some fight for more power and some fight for equality 
Killing each other for money resources and territories

I'veseen the varrel of guns 
And they took away my friends 
Sometimes it seems to me that 
We are all headed fot dead endz 
Headed no where fast;the next second might not last 
In a blink of aneye we become a part of the past

Yesterday was history tomorrow's a mystery 
Today's a present;i thank the god above me 
Cuz at every moment it might be your last breath 
You could see your own death

It's time 2 say goodbye but baby don't u cry
你不要太难过 因为我一直都在
Cuz i'll be there up high be always by ur side
你不会太寂寞 因为我不曾离开

Sorry 妈妈 我知道你对我的期待 
请你原谅我以前那么叛逆那么的坏 
妈妈 pleaz don't cry dry ur eyez 
就算我在天上也会 想念你烧的菜
但是现在 我要为兄弟奋力一搏
我要保护着他就像 你那么保护着我
do u know 我没有表面看起来那么懦弱 
我会干掉每一个敌人虽然我感觉到有些困惑 
为什么对我开枪为什么互相叫骂 
为什么让我受伤为什么同是人类却感到害怕 
为什么侵略我的家 难道说和平真的只是古老的神话 
不过 我还是站在这里 保护我的兄弟 
不管是要死要活我都跟你在一起 剩最后一口气 
我不会忘记 用我的血液 对这场战役 作无声的抗议

It's time 2 say goodbye but baby don't u cry
你不要太难过 因为我一直都在
Cuz i'll be there up high be always by ur side 
你不会太寂寞 因为我不曾离开

无题

这些日子,努力让自己更生活点,更拉萨点。busy, busy 忙办公室永远没有进展的事;忙和老同学叙旧;忙看拉萨的72变;忙的唏哩哗啦,忙的麻木....busy doing nothing...

终于,可以休假了。只是再没有背包,没有书,没有音乐,更没有陌生的路人了。再不能出不去了。选择另一种生活。

不一样的日子,不一样的心情。还是有书、有音乐....慢慢看 慢慢听...享受蓝天下的黑白世界....

If You're Out There

A song with inspiring messages, from John Legend for Obama presidential campaign but also a call to arms for anyone who has a mind to contribute and the motivation to actually do it. What we're trying to say is that the time is now, we've already waited long enough to start working on the issues that we need to handle as a country and as a globe. We're talking about poverty, ending the war, and we need more people out there who are clamoring for change, it's not just about electing Obama, it's just about the mindset and putting pressure on the politicians to be more responsible.

So now, President Obama made change history and will make more change Americans need...but then the rest of us, and people are out there on top of the world ....
If you hear this message, Wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, Calling ever man
We're the generation, We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday, And we're already late

We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody, Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same, well go on and say

If you're out there, sing along with me
If you're out there, I'm dying to believe
That you're out there, Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there, tomorrow's starting now...now...now

No more broken promises, No more call to war
Unless it's Love and Peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy Hunger, we can conquer Hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

I was looking for a song to sing
Searched for a leader, but the leader was me
We were looking for the world to change
We can be heroes, Just go on and say
If you're out there, sing along with me
If you're out there, I'm dying to believe that
you're out there, Stand up and say it loud if you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now...now...now
Whoa now...now...now

If you ready we can save the world
Believe again, start to mend
We don't have to wait for destiny
We should be the change that we want to see

If you're out there, If you're out there
And you're ready now
Sing it loud, scream it out
If you're out there
Sing along with me if you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud if you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
If you're out there
If you're out there
If you're out there

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling ever man
We're the generation, we can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

It Is Written



是宿命  是轮回 
一切都是注定的
一路上的选择
都只是步步逼近 Final Destiny

Jamal, Salim & Latika
与我们所有人都一样
为了活着、为了生活、为了爱、为了权力
不断选择

A. Cheat
B. Luck
C. Genius
D. Destiny

确切的说
命运不是机遇,而是选择

最终,It is Written.
One for all, and all for One.

美廓尔又来了!

往常一样,在去吃午饭的路上,熟悉的卖报生在人群中大喊:“阿佳,商报还是晚报?” 我说随便吧,他就给了我份西藏商报。坐下来一看,头版就是“本报探路 带你进入‘拉日’线”。

藏语里“拉日”是神山的意思。这里是指拉萨至日喀则的火车线路。而‘美廓尔’是2006年,西藏自治区翻译协会和自治区新词术语藏文翻译规范委员会70多名专家学者商讨审定,一致同意‘美廓尔’为‘火车’的规范表述。

两会期间,委员们似乎也对‘美廓尔’情有独钟。不仅仅是政协委员、自治区发改委党组书记 、副主任普穷提交了一份“拉日铁路有关事宜的建议”,而且山南地区政协委员会也向自治区政协九届二次会议递交提案,建议建设青藏铁路拉萨经山南至林芝段。为什么又是美廓尔?如果确实它要如此日夜奔腾不息地穿梭于喜马拉雅山,是山神也要被火车轰隆隆的声音给震痴呆掉了。

下文摘自:西藏商报 2008年1月13日
为应对国际金融危机,今年我国将投入4万亿元巨资扩大内需、促进经济增长。这一利好消息对于依靠中央投资方式来拉动经济增长的西藏来说,肯定会受益不少。青藏铁路延伸线拉萨至日喀则支线 铁路就可能借此“东风”,早日开工建设。

拉萨至日喀则段铁路地处青藏高原西南部,线路东起青藏铁路终点拉萨火车站,出站后先向南沿拉萨河而下,途经堆龙德庆县、曲水县后,折向雅鲁藏布江西段而上,穿越长度近90公里的雅鲁藏布江峡谷区,途经尼木县、仁布县、白朗县后抵达藏西南重镇日喀则市。按照设计方案,“拉日”铁路线路全长约254.56公里。线路东低西高,全线桥隧总长约占线路全长的40%,沿线海拔3650米至3840米 ,最高点3990米。全线共设车站14处(含接轨站拉萨)。近期开放8个车站,其中中间站6处(拉萨南、协荣、曲水、尼木、仁布、日喀则);会让站2处(灯古、卡堆);有客、货运作中间站4处(曲水、尼木、仁布、日喀则)。

谁为谁而纪念

任何事物的产生和发展都有其原因和结果
这世上,没有无缘无故的爱
也没有无缘无故的恨

今天看“两会”新闻,说会议将审议九届人大常委会第7次会议提交的《西藏自治区人民代表大会关于设立西藏百万农奴解放纪念日的决定(草案) 》的议案。而西藏自治区人大常委会副秘书长庞伯解释说:“议案就是要让包括藏族在内的全体中华民族永远牢记50年前西藏“民主改革”这一历史性事件,从此西藏百万农奴翻身得解放,挣脱了旧的封建农奴制度枷锁成为国家的主人。”

消息一出,网络上就有支持的声音了。说这事早该做了,而且建议大力宣传。是啊,翻身农奴年年在西藏庆祝这个,纪念那个,就是没有所谓的农奴日。早就应该有了!? But, Why, Why Now? Where is this bill coming from?

Last year, someone in the states suggested "...exile Tibetans should observe a Day of Solidarity and Unity. such ceremonial practice would help make emotional connections between younger and older generations as well as between Tibetans in exile and those inside Tibet." 记得去年年底,一位流亡藏人曾经建议为了显示对于境内藏人的支持,只用空洞语言来形容他们的牺牲是不够的。流亡藏人一定要积极地表达他们的尊敬,并且提供人道的援助。流亡藏人必须制定一个支持与团结的纪念日。因为纪念日不仅将会长久地维系这些分开来的家庭,而且也会给不同的世代带来情感上的连结,也会给境内与境外的藏人带来命运与共的感觉。

才几个月,外面民主的社会,似乎根本就没有讨论此事的迹象。但山这边的社会主义专政已在人大商讨类似议案了。不记得谁说的,加米虽然不能什么都是世界领先,但有超强的学习能力。看来真的是这样啊,倾听不同的声音,并付诸行动。

Lemon Tree

Because of Jerusalem I love Israel; because of Edward Said I always wanna go to Middle East. I believe, Israel is a country with unity of opposites. The long-lasting conflict in middle east is about political, ethical and about religious, there is no easy answer on the issue. But if only by reading, listening and watching so called news in a country where information and news were carefully selected by the centre government it makes things extremely easy to understand. However, the real world is more complicated than we learn from Chinese media. Therefore, I enjoy reading novels and watching movies more! The stories, that tell true stories from ground.



Lemon Tree, a great movie directed by Israeli Eran Riklis. It is about real life in Israel and Palestine. It is those little human stories behind the conflict. Indeed, so many such stories are happening in Tibet. In movie, all started with difference but connected by only one thing in common, own way of life.

Palestine vs.Israel
Ordinary Arab woman vs. Israel Minister of Defense (man)
Arabic vs. Hebrew
Lemon tree vs. National security
Protects families lemon tree vs. Cuts neighbors lemon tree
sort power vs. hard power
fence vs. wall
.....
After all, it is a story of asymmetric power relationship in a conflict. Though some people do believe, hard power is stronger and better than soft power to take a better position in a conflict. But not always true. Also like Great Wall or Berlin Wall, cannot never ever just keep things out....
Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
