中国还能接续中断半世纪的文化传统吗？
——余英时与中国部分流亡知识分子座谈录
北明整理／多维月刊
刚刚获得美国国会图书馆克卢格（Kluge）人文学术终生成就奖的历史学家余英时先生，前不久与部分海外流亡知识人聚首，畅谈中国当代社会诸问题。多年以来，余英时是中国流亡知识分子中心“普林斯顿中国学社”的得力支持者。这次会谈，是“六四”之后，中国海外流亡知识人首次汇聚一堂，借庆贺余英时获奖之际，听这位亦师亦友的史学家畅谈他获奖的感受、介绍他继绝存亡之思想学术生涯的起点，同他交换在美国治中国史学的经验，发表对中国学界风气和学术标准的看法，探讨中国传统文化断代的根源，畅谈49年以来中国当代社会道德现象及其原因，分析弱势群体仇恨心理，展望未来中国社会前景。参加这次小型私人会谈的还有一两位来自大陆和海外的关心中国事务的学者和美国汉学家。这次座谈经北明整理成文，获余英时先生首肯并校对修正。

Dalai Lama to reduce political role
According to PHAYUL, in his holiness’ recent visit to U.S, Dalai Lama told students that he would “retire completely” within a few years and was already “semi-retired.”
Therefore, I expect Beijing to change its view on Dalai Lama as more a spiritual leader, which will benefit Tibetan in mainland China. In fact, some great Tibetan lamas in exile talked less on politics and maintain better relationship with Beijing.
In the report, Tenzin Tsundue, a pro-independance Tibetan-in-exile welcomed this move, and saw it as a indicator of better Tibetan democracy. Most expected the parliament-in-exile to share more burden from Dalai Lama. And maybe Kharmapa Lama will increase its presence in the international potical stage as the rising symbol of Tibetan-in-exile.
