噶瑪巴對印度尼西亞海嘯和地震致上祈禱

第十七世大寶法王嘉華噶瑪巴泰耶多傑，對最近印度尼西亞發生的海嘯和地震分享的信息。

親愛的法友，

我藉此信給印度尼西亞人民致上祈禱，海嘯和地震摧毀了帕盧市，造成至少380人死亡，並直接影響了數千人。

這場悲劇和生命的喪失再次提醒我們物質世界的無常。

我們可以從這種無常中獲得一些慰藉。因為在極度痛苦和心痛的過程中，我們可能會覺得沒有希望，我們總會感受到這種痛苦。然而，正如黑夜不會永久，太陽會如常再次升起。所以我們的痛苦不是永久的，我們會再次感到希望。

請與我一起向所有受此災難影響的人致上慈悲。

致上祈禱
泰耶多傑
第十七世大寶法王嘉華噶瑪巴

Karmapa offers prayers after Indonesian tsunami and earthquake

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, shares this message in the wake of the recent tsunami and earthquake in Indonesia.

Dear dharma friends,

I am writing to offer my prayers for the people of Indonesia, following the tsunami and earthquake that has devastated the city of Palu, killing at least 380 people, and directly affecting thousands more.

This tragic event and loss of life is yet another reminder of the impermanent nature of our material world.

We may take some solace from this impermanence. For in the midst of great suffering and heartache, we may feel that there is no hope, and that we will always feel this pain. However, just as night never lasts forever, and the sun always rises again, so our pain is not permanent. We will feel hope again.

Please join me in offering our compassion to all those affected by this disaster.

With prayers
Thaye Dorje
His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa
