Letter from His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Thaye Dorje concerning recent disasters of the MH370 flight and South Korea ferry tragedy.

Such disasters may leave us feeling a sense of anger. Gyalwa Karmapa quotes the words of the Buddha, who said: “Holding on to anger is like grasping a coal with an intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned”.

“When we tap into our Inner Wealth, we are able to respond to disasters with compassion”, Gyalwa Karmapa writes in the letter.
