達賴喇嘛，你愛95%的藏胞嗎？

周末，我那十歲不到的兒子來跟我談達賴喇嘛。問其原委，才知道因為達賴最近的美國之行，使孩子所在的小學居然也談及西藏和達賴喇嘛其人。我想，如果藏獨分子不搗亂奧運火炬傳遞，如果達賴不在此時來美，美國民眾會如此注意到西藏嗎？為了使孩子了解真正的西藏--- 過去和現在，還有達賴喇嘛，我上網把有關的資料和圖片調出來讓他看，講給他聽。

當孩子看到那些人皮、斷臂斷腿和當年西藏農奴的照片時，聽我講西藏的歷史，問：達賴喇嘛還愛他家過去的農奴嗎？為什麼他現在不回去和那些西藏窮人分享他的愛呢？當我讓他看金晶在巴黎被舉著「雪山獅子旗」的暴徒襲擊的圖片時，我看到孩子的眼裡閃著淚光。

對孩子的問題，我無語。因為我不知道現在的達賴喇嘛愛不愛他那95%的藏族同胞。

丹增嘉措先生，你愛曾經是你家領地上的、乃至所有曾經的農奴藏胞嗎？

希望海外華人多向子女、朋友轉遞西藏真實的信息。
