Today, in the morning of the 25th of April, in Nepal, the land
where Lord Buddha was born, there occurred a devastating earthquake. Many
thousands of people have been killed or injured, and historic buildings and
private homes have been turned into ruins. As soon as I learned of this painful
and distressing situation, I made my deepest aspiration prayers and dedications
for all the people affected, and continue to do so. Especially at times when we
are faced with such a desperate situation, we cannot sit idle, unfeelingly. We
must join forces and carry the burden of sorrow together. It is important that
each one of us light the lamp of courage. Additionally, it is important that
each of the Karma Kagyu monasteries in Nepal, while looking after their
own pressing needs for immediate protection, also extend any and all aid and
protection they can to the public in their surrounding communities. From my own
side, I will make every effort to come personally in the near future to offer
my solace and support as well.
