噶瑪巴對希瓦庫馬拉•斯瓦米吉逝世的信息

尊貴的印度教領袖、Siddaganga Mutt的教主希瓦庫馬拉•斯瓦米吉博士的逝世，是印度精神財富的重大損失。

雖然我沒有機會與希瓦庫馬拉•斯瓦米吉見面，但他一生致力於幫助人民，尤其為貧困民眾利益所作出的貢獻，是一位能啟迪所有宗教傳統修行者的榜樣。

在佛教中，我們祈求長壽不是因為我們只想著存活。我們祈求長壽是為了利益眾生。讓我們所有人效仿希瓦庫馬拉•斯瓦米吉的榜樣。

Karmapa’s message regarding the passing of Shivakumara Swamiji:

‘The passing in this life of the esteemed Hindu leader Dr Sri Sri Sri Shivakumara Swamiji of Siddhaganga Mutt is a great loss for the spiritual wealth of India.

While I never had the opportunity to meet with Shivakumara Swamiji, his lifelong service to helping people, particularly those who are most vulnerable, is an inspiring example for spiritual practitioners of all traditions.

In Buddhism, we pray for a long life not because we simply want to survive. We pray for longevity in order to benefit sentient beings. May we all follow the example of Shivakumara Swamiji.’
