The Karmapa Holds Special Prayer Service in Varanasi for Tsunami Victims

12月27-31日,噶舉祈願大會之後,法王噶瑪巴在菩提迦耶停留了數日,邀集了在菩提迦耶各教派寺院的主持們參與茶會,並依各教派的傳統方式和語言為南亞地震及海嘯災難中受難者祈願。法王於12月31日離菩提迦耶赴德里。法王噶瑪巴為所有的海嘯受害者祈願:祈願海嘯所導致的痛苦早日終止並且可怕的悲劇永不再發生。

In Varanasi, India, one of the four most sacred sites of Buddhism marking where the Buddha first turned the Wheel of Dharma and gave his first teachings, His Holiness held a special prayer service for all the deceased, injured and distressed victims of the Tsunami, which affected so many people throughout the countries in Southeast Asia bordering on the Indian Ocean. In front of the special statue of Lord Buddha, His Holiness prayed for all who suffered from the Tsunami: that there would be an end to the suffering caused by the Tsunami and that such a terrible tragedy would never happen again.
