（巴黎十一日電）法國作家馬克西姆•維瓦斯在對中國西藏進行長達1年的調查採訪後，撰寫了《並非如此「禪」：達賴隱匿的另一面》一書。該書將向西方讀者展示達賴口中的西藏與真實西藏間的巨大差異。

《並非如此「禪」：達賴隱匿的另一面》一書定於8月18日出版，共131頁。據出版此書的法國馬克斯•米洛出版社介紹，這是法國第一本由該國作家通過對西藏實地調查，以及對達賴喇嘛自1959年叛逃印度以後的言行進行客觀介紹、分析和對照後寫就的書。多年來，達賴在西方社會歷來以「智慧、和平、佛教精神領袖、諾貝爾和平奬獲得者」的形象出現。而西藏則被達賴描述成是「苦難深重」、並遭到「殖民統治和文化滅絶」。而此前西方還幾乎沒有一本以「西方特有的批判精神」來分析和剖析達賴喇嘛的書出版。

2010年，維瓦斯與法國《費加羅報》和《世界報》等記者同行赴西藏採訪，看到的是法國乃至西方媒體上從來沒有報導過的景象：報刊、商店的標牌、電台和電視廣播等都無一例外地使用藏語；大學裡教授藏文化；當地環境得到良好的保護；酒吧裡的服務員每天工作7 小時，並領取著相應的工資……

這一切驅使維瓦斯對西藏問題進行深入調查，並發現了達賴的兩副不同的面孔：一幅是呈現在西方公衆面前的「永恆的微笑，標誌著所謂的寬容、和平主義和面對迫害的無限忍耐」；而另一副則是緊皺著眉頭，一付被趕下王位的君主的面孔，一心想著如何才能恢復他心中的王國，並回到拉薩重建神權政權。

據介紹，維瓦斯在書中所引用的，幾乎全部來自達賴本人在不同時期、不同地點所發表的演講、接受的採訪和他本人撰寫的書籍。作家通過調查對照後發現，僅此就足以一窺達賴「投機、遺忘、詭詐、謊言以及拒絶對其本人和他統治的『王國』進行全盤清查」的事實。

在馬克斯•米洛出版社11日舉行的新書出版發佈會上，維瓦斯還就達賴宣稱退出政治生活發表意見說，達賴宣佈此決定後，到美國會見的是政治人物，在法國談的幾乎都是政治話題，這使人無法相信其所言。

維瓦斯長年生活在法國南部，已經出版了近10部著作。他曾獲得過1997年法國羅歇•瓦楊文學奬。

French writer presents real Tibet in new book

@ English.xinhuanet.com, 2011-08-12

PARIS, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- A French writer says a visit to Tibet makes it obvious that the culture there is not being destroyed and there is freedom of religion.

"The signs are written in Tibetan. The temples and monasteries are full and people do pray in the streets. Religion is omnipresent," French writer and Tibet researcher Maxime Vivas told reporters Thursday.

Such things would be impossible, Vivas said, if the Tibetan culture was being destroyed and the freedom of religion restricted.

Vivas, who spoke at a press briefing on his new book "Not So 'Zen': The Hidden Side Of The Dalai Lama," talked about the purpose of writing the book and a real Tibet in his observation.

It's been awhile since news reports about Tibet in France were almost all in the same key, said Vivas, who also is a journalist. His confusion and curiosity concerning Tibet prompted him to travel to Tibet in the summer of 2010 with a number of other French journalists.

As soon as Vivas returned from the trip, he started independent research on Tibet and the Dalai Lama.

Seeking to paint a true picture of Tibet, he had read a plenty of documents and gathered opinions of all sides. And the result of his research has given birth to his new book, which will be released Aug. 18.

Vivas enumerates in his book a large quantity of words of the Dalai Lama and his supporters, many of which are self-contradictory. He said he intends to use their own words to kill their lies.

Meanwhile, Tibet under the Dalai Lama's reign was no paradise at all, Vivas said, citing words from the Dalai Lama's memoirs to prove that the peasants back then were deprived of all human rights and had to do very heavy work. Even a slight show of disobedience would subject them to cruel punishment.

"The Dalai Lama said that he had been forced to leave Tibet before he could have time to carry out social reforms, but according to his memoirs, at that same period, he had time to think about building a new palace in addition to the Potala Palace," Vivas said.
