第十七世大寶法王嘉華噶瑪巴泰耶多傑，對巴西布魯馬迪尼奧市潰壩決堤慘劇分享以下信息：

親愛的法友

當我寫這篇文章時，巴西布魯馬迪尼奧的礦場潰壩發生後，至週末已有300多人失踪，58人確認喪生。

在這場災難中，親人憂心至愛安危的心情，非筆墨所能形容。這次潰壩事故令整個社區和國家陷於哀痛。

這個提醒我們無常的慘劇，讓我們知道每一刻都需要運用智慧和慈悲的重要性，並要全心全意地珍惜我們所愛的人。一切事物都在不斷變化，我們不要把自己寶貴的人身或其他人的生命視為理所當然。

致上慈悲
泰耶多傑

In the wake of the Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil, Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, shares the following message:

Dear dharma friends

As I write, more than 300 people are still missing after the Brumadinho dam collapse in Brazil over the weekend. Already, it has been confirmed that 58 people have lost their lives.

In the midst of such a disaster, where families are frantic with worry for the wellbeing of their loved ones, it is difficult to know what to say. This dam burst has broken the hearts of a whole community and country.

This tragic reminder of impermanence brings to mind the importance of using every moment with wisdom and compassion, and to appreciate our loved ones with all our hearts. Everything is constantly in flux, and we must not take our own precious human lives, or anyone else’s, for granted.

With compassion

Thaye Dorje
His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa
