親愛的法友，
自然災害有許多形式。悲劇每天都在發生，在印度這裡，意大利，緬甸和世界各地。
修持覺知是非常重要，它能使我們的慈悲達至受一切災難所影響的人，而不僅僅是規模較大，或者被媒體報導的那些。在世界任何地方，一個寶貴生命的喪失，都是一個悲劇。
無論你在哪裡，無論你多麼痛苦，你都不是孤獨的受痛苦。
正如佛法修行者般，我們都是深深連繫著，像母親和父親，兄弟和姐妹。
在動盪之中，我們會發現一個寂靜、清明與和平的一處。寂靜這種心境，藏於我們所有的人。即使是最嚴峻的外在環境，我們的慈悲與智慧，我們的內在財富，都不會受影響。雨不能破壞我們內在安寧。風不能吹動我們的心。
讓我們一起為所有受痛苦的眾生祈禱。
致上衷心的愛與慈悲
十七世嘉華噶瑪巴泰耶多傑

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa #Karmapa, shares the following message in the light of recent disasters.

‘Dear Dharma Friends

There are many forms of natural disasters. Tragedies take place daily, here in India, Italy, Myanmar and around the world.

It is important to practice mindful awareness so that our compassion reaches those affected by all disasters, not just those on a larger scale, or the ones featured by the media. The loss of a single precious human life, anywhere in the world, is a tragedy.

Wherever you are, no matter how much you suffer, you do not suffer alone.

As Dharma practitioners, we are all deeply connected, like mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters.

In the midst of turbulence, may we all find a place of stillness, clarity and peace. This place of stillness, this state of mind, lies within all of us. Our compassion and wisdom, our Inner Wealth, is unaffected by even the most extreme external conditions. No rain can dampen our inner peace. No wind can move our minds.

May we all pray together for all those who suffer.

With my heartfelt love and compassion

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa’
