噶瑪巴對拉斯維加斯射殺事件的訊息

親愛的法友，

我感到非常悲傷當得悉拉斯維加斯的大規模射殺事件，導致至少59人失去生命，超過500人受傷。

昨天是聯合國國際非暴力日。面對這樣的暴力場面，要繼續走一條非暴力的道路，似乎是一個白費心力而徒勞的任務。

不過，我們要繼續這條路。追隨佛陀、甘地等實踐非暴力的偉大人物的腳步，無論處境有多困難，我們必須繼續堅持非暴力的柔和力量 。

我祈禱我們能找到勇氣運用慈悲與智慧來化解暴力。這樣，我們就能幫助減輕世界上的痛苦，幫助所有跟隨我們的人實現非暴力的道路。

請與我一起為受害者和所有受拉斯維加斯事件影響的人祈禱。

致上慈悲

泰耶多傑

#Karmapa’s message on the Las Vegas shooting:

Dear Dharma friends,

I was saddened to learn about the Las Vegas mass shooting, which has led to at least 59 people losing their lives, and more than 500 injured.

Yesterday was the United Nations International Day of Nonviolence. And, in the face of such violent scenes, it may seem like a futile or even failing task to continue to tread a nonviolent path.

Nevertheless, we continue on our path. Following the footsteps of Buddha, Gandhi and other great beings who have led the nonviolent way, we continue to believe in the gentle power of nonviolence – no matter how hard it may feel in times like this.

I pray that we can all find the courage to respond to violence with compassion, with wisdom, and with nonviolence. In this way, we will all be helping to reduce suffering in our world, and serve all those who follow us.

Please join me in praying for the victims and all those affected by the Las Vegas incident.

With compassion

Thaye Dorje

His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa
