連結眾生的慈悲

慈悲存在於所有有情眾生，即使是動物也有慈悲心，所以不言而喻慈悲也存在於人類。慈悲是一種很美妙的特質，因為它存在於我們所有人，無須任何宗教或哲學，任何人都能實踐慈悲。

無論我們來自那裡，身在何處，什麼的背景，我們都能實踐慈悲。更重要的是它能有助我們處理每天的事情。所以，從佛陀初期轉法輪到後期轉法輪所宣説的密乘或金剛乘， 一直以來佛法修行者基本上修習的就是慈悲與智慧。

#Karmapa: compassion connects us all

The practice of compassion is common to all sentient beings, even animals, so of course it goes without saying that it is common to all human beings. Compassion is a wonderful practice because it is a quality that is there in all of us, without enforcing any kind of religion or philosophy, and it can be applied by anyone.

No matter where we come from, where we are, what kind of background we have, the practice of compassion is something that we can all apply. And most importantly, it becomes very useful when we have to deal with daily activities. So of course, with the Buddhist practice, actually from the very first yanas of the Buddhist practice to the latest – what is known as Sangngag (Secret Mantra) or Vajrayana practice – till then, the Buddhist practitioner basically specializes in the field of compassion and wisdom.

非物質價值觀能利益所有人

當我們支持非物質價值觀的發展，我們會清楚地看見這些如非暴力、慈悲、尊嚴、社群和家庭這些非物質價值觀怎樣為我們建立一個較平衡和有益的未來。

#Karmapa: non-material values help all of us

When we support the development of non-material values, we can see clearly how values such as nonviolence, compassion, dignity, community and family can help build a more balanced and beneficial future for all of us.
