*北京指称达赖喇嘛在西藏挑起教派冲突

中国官方媒体报导，北京指称达赖喇嘛挑起一个藏传佛教寺庙的宗教冲突。官方
的新华社星期三说，一群佛教僧侣今年3月冲进了西藏首府拉萨附近的甘丹寺，捣
毁寺内的泥塑像和护法神雕像。拉萨市长说，这起事件绝不是孤立和偶然的。他

别之间的冲突，企图破坏西藏团结。
达赖喇嘛没有就此事公开评论。这起冲突的起因是一个一些西藏人信奉却不被达
赖喇嘛认可的护法神。西藏自治区党委书记说，达赖喇嘛的这种做法违反了信徒
的宗教信仰自由。


China Accuses Dalai Lama of Stirring Up Religious Conflict in Tibet

Chinese state media say Beijing is accusing the Dalai Lama of stirring
up religious conflict in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. China's state-run
Xinhua news agency reports Wednesday a group of Buddhist monks smashed
clay statues and protective deities at the Ganden Monastery near the
regional capital, Lhasa, in March. The mayor of Lhasa says the incident
was not isolated or accidental. He blames followers of the exiled
spiritual leader for provoking the violence to arouse conflict between
different sects of Tibetan Buddhism, and to sabotage the unity of Tibet.

There has been no public comment from the Dali Lama. The conflict is
over Tibetan deity called Dorgje Shugden, which is worshipped by some
Tibetan Buddhists, but denounced by the Dalai Lama. Tibet's Communist
Party secretary says the Dalai Lama's alleged action violates the
religious freedom of believers.
