His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche
From the newsletter of the Drikung Dzogchen Community in Vermont
H.E. Garchen Rinpoche made the following statement about the tragedy in Japan:
I am deeply sad to hear about the earthquake disaster in Japan, and also in New Zealand, Tibet, and other places last year. Although many beings have lost their lives, their minds really can never die. And as our minds are connected, we can benefit them by cultivating love and compassion and reciting the Mani mantra (OM MANI PADME HUNG). If we are able to pervade their minds with love, they will awaken from the dream of self-grasping and suffering.
