噶瑪巴給學生和老師們有關近日事故的文告
所有領袖和政府做的每一個決定都是艱難的，作為市民的我們應該牢記這點。
當決策定下時，我們可以透過瞭解、真正的尊重以及冷靜地請求領導者尋找解決方案，找出中道，好讓決策能夠順利落實，不各走極端。
更重要的是我們應修持覺知和觀察環境恆常的轉變。我們不能制止這些轉變因為轉變是生命的本質。因此，對無常的認識、瞭解和接受作觀照是重要的。 這種修持和隨之而來的覺知會帶來慈悲與智慧。這會幫助我們無論在看起來是好或壞的際遇中作出導航，使它們變得正面和有裨益。這個方法縱使不會解決問題，但它會幫助我們遇到任何情況也能得到一些珍貴的東西。
玻璃杯子是可以打破的，因為這是它的本質，打破後便不能復原，但如果把碎片合併成水晶馬賽克，就會創造出絶妙的珍寶。運用清明、智慧和慈悲的心，所有挑戰都可如是處理。

Statement for students and teachers concerned about current affairs
#Karmapa’s statement for students and teachers concerned about current affairs
‘For every leader and every government, every decision is a difficult one. As citizens, this is something that we may keep in mind.
Once a decision is made, we may – with this understanding, genuine respect, and with no emotion – request leaders to find solutions, to find a middle way, so that the decision finds a path without extremes.
More importantly, we should practice mindfulness and observe how situations change in every moment. We are unable to stop these changes because change is the nature of life. Therefore, it is important to meditate regularly on realizing, understanding and accepting this impermanence.
This practice, and the realization that flows from it, will lead to compassion and wisdom. This will help us to navigate whatever seemingly good or bad situations arise, and they will all become positive and beneficial. This kind of approach will not fix problems, but it will help us gain something invaluable from every encounter.
A glass may break, for breaking is in its nature. Once broken, it can’t be unbroken. But if the broken shards are arranged together as a crystal mosaic, a wonderful treasure is created. With a clear, wise and compassionate mind, every challenge may work in this way.’
