第17世大寶法王嘉華噶瑪巴泰耶多傑，就2019冠狀病毒（COVID-19）的傳播，對噶瑪噶舉傳承所有喇嘛、僧伽和在家修行者分享以下訊息。

親愛的、尊敬的噶瑪噶舉傳承喇嘛、僧伽以及在家修行者，

2019冠狀病毒（COVID-19）繼續在世界各地傳播。

因此，我們所有人都應該無需緊張或驚慌，採取所有必要的預防和防範措施。

我認為疾病的核心是，我們對疾病充滿焦慮的心態，和錯誤地認為我們永遠都不會生病或死亡。

為了避免這種恐懼和誤解，時常思惟四法印是非常重要。 我鼓勵大家牢記這點於心。

在我這邊，我一直向三寶和護法祈禱，送上至誠的祈願為眾生祈福。

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, shares the following letter for all lamas, sangha members and lay practitioners of the Karma Kagyu lineage, in relation to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

‘Dear respected lamas, tulkus, sangha members, and lay practitioners of the Karma Kagyu lineage
The coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread all over the world.

Therefore, we should all – without nervousness or panic – take all required precautions and preventive actions.

Having said that, the core sickness is, in my opinion, both a mind filled with anxiety about the disease, and a tendency to wrongly think that we should never become sick or die.

In order to avoid such fear and misconception, it is very important to continually contemplate the Four Great Seals. I would like to encourage all of you to take this advice to heart.

On my part, I am constantly praying to the Three Jewels and the Dharma protectors, and offering my best aspirations for the wellbeing of sentient beings.

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa’
