A Personal Review: Namsa Goje by Mr.Shog Dung La

















I have just started reading Namsa Goje (found translated as The Line Between Sky And Earth: in the form of incisive hindsight writing in the light of the organized sequence of mass uprisings by intrepid Tibetans in Tibet, beginning from March 14, 2008, against the unbearable tyrannies for more than 60 years now perpetrated by the most ruthless Communism of 21st century, The Red China) and finished 101 from its 232 pages now. Really a great thriller, the first of its genre in Tibetan, a must read book if you are a Tibetan youth who knows one’s mother-tongue. Not only letting one, a Tibetan youth, boil up with unbridled reasonable rancour against the unimaginably atrocious Communist tyrannies—what the most notoriously silent ways are there to uproot Tibet’s identities—, but also burst the seething anger in its wildest craze. I can feel the simmering heat when I flip through the weighty pages of this great page turner.

I find his work delves into an artistically woven tapestry, in such detailed sequences of logical narration and studies, so inspiring and absorbing. A great work proved by his locking away thereafter, found yet another intellectual resource posing threat to CCP, PLA…

And as the book testifies on the grounded basis about the myopic biased red regime’s exerting every possible atrociously notorious means to, namely to safeguard its one-way power mechanism as prompted by flurries of paranoia proving its so shallow depth, vandalize Tibet’s rich heritages to silencing leading great minds in the mode of never coming back or out, I’m so concerned about his safety but only in the desperate way… I sigh, weep but…

Read it not only with the sense of a petty racial dignity but with firmer basis. It teaches us, leads us, not only to read and let go, there—how to shape and hone ourselves to come out fully as a well-equipped Tibetan Now! Read it then! Let’s try to be sharper and more alert now! I don’t mean to act abruptly but to learn more with a based honed sense to be so. So to Act!

Now I have just finished reading it and a great work I found rather than just mystifying with some sort of overrating elements whatsoever in the name of extolling it, but beyond and, at so shallow level, flaunting one’s intuitive genius of inferring it much deeper.

Even though I found the latter chapters dealing with Gandhianism Ahimsa rather tedious but worth-noting for the case of our mode of struggle, I was really so moved by his wholehearted concerned inner voice for our being able to be aware of wielding this sublime method only for the sustenance of this very racial identity and culture on the spot belonged. His serious concern, as he sees highly possible desperately taking to violence, opens our drifting eyes to focus firmly on the only viable resources by being solely armed with broader knowledge. ‘An act of such desperation is nothing other than throwing an egg to a boulder’ is how the totalitarian side lurks, lingering for a minute chance of branding ‘Terrorist’ and thereby legally, the enacted mandate so ruthless these days, uprooting our whole world. I do also like his core point of this method is to act so taking the cases of the forerunners at large and letting run the continuum in active dedicated way.

His masterpiece in Tibetan language, the first of its kind ever showing us a complete reliable way ahead, and his broad knowledge in world history and political science thru Chinese medium: The complete plot of this great work binds the entire elements of his unbiased racial dignity upheld, the integrity of his life and thoughts. I pray for his safety ever!

Even for the notoriety of his past critical writings challenging our theocratic societies past and present casting zero illumination on the broader sense of world society updated and maintained that left us here dispossessed, displaced and expelled, I have had my stand still consistent as a timely contender needy to pierce through our dreamlike but shallow pride of what we are and possess, so static. I was really pleased to learn every struggled work of counter-writings by those concerned ones had somehow missed his sublime points but just carried out like blurting, “How dare you stand so! The sinner!” As in the book his seclusion from his own people in Tibet, who took him as a devil, did cause so heavy loss for his profession as a writer not having access to interacting with them. And so after the sequence of mass uprisings-2008, he was speechlessly baffled to find out his fellow Tibetans had gone ahead of his stand, still in the stage of yet to be awaken to societal individual. Still, as he proves, we lag far behind.

A Mazework


Solo Muse

So drags on, embedded,
Ignited by countless sparks—
Simple convoluted lanes wind on,
Unravelled but enmeshed to live on…
I find you there in the shroud,
Beyond my reach, a mystified stare
Furthered aback the solo tussle hardens on.
Alas, to blot out is to liberate,
Depleted of them, yet to usher into—
The intermediate, air world:
May it be my romantic view holds,
The interregnum bereft of them,
One single strike speedily pointed.
Oh, thou crazing maze! Depart!
