Karmapa's letter regarding 6 February earthquake in Taiwan.
New Delhi, 6 February, 2016
Dear dharma friends
It is with great sorrow that I learned of the disastrous earthquake that struck the city of Tainan in Southern Taiwan in the early hours of this morning, just two days before the celebrations of Chinese New Year.
Several people have lost their lives, hundreds are injured or still trapped in the collapsed buildings, and many more have lost their homes and belongings and are left without any means of subsistence.
As a practitioner of the Buddha dharma, I offer my aspirations and prayers for all those who have been affected by this calamity, and I ask all of my students to do so as well.
In particular, I ask you to focus on the six-syllable mantra of Chenresig and to dedicate the merit to the victims of this disaster, as well as to the victims of all natural and man-made disasters.
With prayers,
Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje

親愛的法友,
今天凌晨時分,於慶祝春節的前兩天,我懷著非常沈痛的聽到,影響台灣南部這個災難性的地震。
有人喪失了生命,上百人受傷或困在倒塌的房屋𥚃。有許多人失去了他們的家園,失去了他們的所有;生活所需變得一無所有。
作為一個佛法的修行者,我將以我的宏願對此次災難影響的所有人祈禱,也要求我的學生跟我一樣去做!
尤其,請你們把焦點集中在念觀音菩薩的「六字明」。以此功德迴向此次天災的受難者,與所有天災與人為災難的受害者。
噶瑪巴 聽列泰耶多傑
祈禱
