Dalai Lama ke Successor ki Khabrein: Kya Hai Sach?
Dalai Lama ne Saturday ko apne successor ki announcement se judi afwahon par full stop laga diya. Unhone kaha ki woh logon ki seva karne ke liye aur 30-40 saal zinda rehna chahte hain. McLeodganj mein Dalai Lama temple mein apne 90th birthday se pehle ek prayer ceremony mein Tenzin Gyatso ne kaha ki unke paas ‘clear signs aur indications’ hain ki Avalokiteshvara ke blessings unke saath hain.
30-40 Saal Aur…
Dalai Lama ne kaha, “Prophecies ko dekhte hue, mujhe lagta hai ki mere paas Avalokiteshvara ke blessings hain. Maine ab tak apni puri koshish ki hai. Mujhe ummeed hai ki main aur 30-40 saal zinda rahunga. Aapki prayers ne ab tak fruit diya hai.” Unka birthday celebration cabinet ministers Kiren Rijiju aur Rajiv Ranjan Singh bhi attend karenge.
Kaun Kaun Aa Raha Hai?
Arunachal Pradesh ke Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Sikkim ke Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang, aur Hollywood actor Richard Gere bhi ceremony mein shamil honge.
Bachpan Se Connection
Dalai Lama ne kaha ki bachpan se hi unhe Avalokiteshvara se strong connection feel hota tha. Unhone kaha, “Aur main ab tak Buddha dharma aur Tibet ke logon ki seva karne mein kaafi had tak safal raha hun. Aur mujhe abhi bhi 130 saal se zyada zinda rehne ki ummeed hai.”
Celebration Ka Mahina
Tibetan government-in-exile ne 14th Dalai Lama ka birthday celebrate karne ke liye ek week long events organize kiye hain. Celebrations ke part ke roop mein, main temple mein ek long life prayer ceremony hui, jismein 15,000 se zyada logon ne attend kiya.
Tenzin Lekshay, Central Tibetan Administration ke spokesperson ke according, temple mein devotees, Tibetan Buddhism ke different sects ke representatives, aur various monasteries ke senior lamas ki bheed thi.
Dharamshala Mein Seva
Dalai Lama ne kaha ki although Tibetans ne apna desh kho diya hai aur woh India mein exile mein jee rahe hain, unhone ‘beings ko kaafi benefit pahunchaya hai.’ Unhone kaha, “Jo log Dharamshala mein reh rahe hain. Main beings ko zyada se zyada benefit aur seva karna chahta hun.”
Mao Zedong Se Mulaqat
Dalai Lama ne Chinese leader Mao Zedong se apni meeting ko bhi yaad kiya, jinhone famously kaha tha: ‘Religion is poison.’ Dalai Lama ne kaha, “…lekin maine unhe respond nahi kiya, isliye unhone actually mein bahut evil gaze kiya, lekin maine respond nahi kiya. Aur mujhe compassion feel hua. Phir baad mein main Nehru se mila. Apni puri life mein, main aise logon se mila hun jinki religion mein interest hai aur un logon se bhi jinki religion mein interest nahi hai.”
Khushi Sabko Chahiye
Unhone note kiya ki Buddhist scriptures logon ke different mental dispositions aur inclinations ke bare mein baat karte hain, lekin iske bawajood, har koi khushi ke liye strive karta hai. Unhone kaha, “Even woh log jinka koi religion ya belief nahi hai, woh bhi khushi pane aur suffering se bachne ki koshish karte hain. Toh is earth par sabhi beings, even Tibetans, humein suffering nahi chahiye, humein khushi chahiye. Hum sabhi is sense mein same hain. Toh accordingly, humein unke liye khushi lane aur unke sufferings ko kam karne ke methods mein engage hone ki zaroorat hai.”
Afwahon Ka End
Dalai Lama ke successor ki announcement ki afwahein unke 90th birthday se pehle se hi fail rahi thi, jinko China ke saath badhte tension ke light mein refute kar diya gaya hai.
Central Tibetan Administration ke president Penpa Tsering ne aisi afwahon ko reject karte hue kaha, ‘It doesn’t happen like that.’ Unhone kaha, ‘Kuch log aise baat kar rahe hain jaise unki holiness kal ya parson ya agle saal marne wale hain. Woh kehte hain ki woh aur 20 saal zinda rahenge. Toh humein tradition ko samajhna hoga. Mujhe lagta hai ki bahut se log yeh expect karte hue aaye the. Unki holiness kisi ko appoint kar sakte hain, ya woh keh sakte hain ki main is place par is time par born hone wala hun. It doesn’t happen like that,’ Tsering ne kaha.
