此博文转自推友 @feng37在南华早报的博客，其中四张拉萨“洛萨”图片，是我从Facebook转发到推特上的。感谢在Facebook上发表拉萨藏历新年照片的朋友。感谢 @feng37翻译我的推文。
并转述新浪微博上藏人微博：“因为大的悲悯情绪触染……热贡很多人家自觉持戒守孝，各村落也基本放弃欢娱和互访的年俗仪式，在我记忆中这是1989年班禅大师去世以来热贡过的最为安静的新年，也好，历史记忆会在集体静默的守岁中凝结成爱和希望，愿水蛇年雪域平安。”而热贡，即青海省黄南藏族自治州同仁县，仅此一地，去年间，以身浴火的自焚藏人多达11位。
另外，昨日，藏历新年初一，来自安多的消息说：除了单位和军营大放鞭炮，藏人家里连一个鞭炮也没放，没有欢度藏历新年的气氛，都是去寺院行佛事、在家里静静地聚在一起。连穿的藏装都是素色……来自康的消息也说：去寺院朝佛祈祷的藏人非常多，男女老少，装束素朴，各寺院也在举行持续的法会。
而在安多博拉，即甘肃省甘南藏族自治州夏河县博拉乡，仅此一乡，去年间，以身浴火的自焚藏人有4人。藏历新年伊始，当地许多藏人不顾积雪深厚，围绕博拉寺磕长头，以行佛事的方式度过“洛萨”。
Tibetan new year photos from Lhasa
With February 11 the first day of Losar, the Tibetan new year festival, Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser has posted on Twitter a short set of photos taken yesterday in Lhasa, followed by:
Given that 104 Tibetans in and outside China have died tragically bathed in fire since 2009 and the Chinese government continues, inhumanely, to fabricate preposterous claims and accusations it holds against monks and the neighbours, friends and family of those who self-immolate, Tibetans who have lived through all this have are refusing to celebrate this Losar with joy.Instead they opt to celebrate in silence - to commemorate those who sacrified themselves and to protest their oppressors.
Monday evening, Woeser tweeted a link to a Deutsche Welle Chinese servicereport according to which foreign media are still barred from conducting interviews in the autonomous region. One Tibetan monk interviewed in the article says life continues there in "unparalleled fear".
"Tibetan new year in Lhasa: Red lanterns and military police in Jokhang Temple square."
"Tibetan new year in Lhasa: People's Armed Police patrol the streets."
"Tibetan new year in Lhasa: Police vehicles of every sort next to a monastery."
"Tibetan new year in Lhasa: Butter candle offerings in Jokhang Temple."
Also, just across the border, for the past two weeks Voice of America reporter Ivan Broadhead has been supplementing his Losar reporting with tweets from the Tibetan exile community in northern India .......
