第十七世大寶法王嘉華噶瑪巴泰耶多傑，在近期尼泊爾與西藏邊境附近發生洪災後，分享以下訊息。
親愛的法友們
驚悉一場毀滅性的洪災和泥石流襲擊了尼泊爾與西藏邊境附近的社區，令我深感悲痛。
在極短的時間內，房屋、道路、橋樑和生計均被沖毀。許多人不幸喪生，更多人至今下落不明，無數家庭與摯愛生死相隔，或流離失所、缺乏基本生活必需品。這場災難所帶來的痛苦，不僅波及人類，也傷害了因生態環境遭到破壞而受到影響的眾多動物及其他生靈。
我無法想像受災鄉親與失聯者家屬此刻心中的迷惘、驚懼與锥心之痛。我所能奉獻的，唯有這顆心、這份祈願，以及依循佛陀教法而生的一點微薄省思。
根據佛陀的教法，生命不是一個絕對的開始或結束，而是靠著各種因緣條件，持續不斷地流轉變化。身體的形相會有生有滅，但這不代表所有的連結、意義和愛從此就消失。
當我們失去摯愛的親人時，內心感到沉重和痛苦是極其自然的。他們的肉身或許已不再陪伴我們，但我們曾共同分享的愛、他們為我們生命帶來的意義，以及他們所體現的美好品質，將繼續活在我們心中。我們可以透過慈悲、勇氣和對他人的關懷，將這些品質延續下去，以此對他們最深切之緬懷與致敬。
我以懇切的心，為所有受到這場災難影響的人祈願，無論是已經離世的、下落不明的、身受傷害的、失去親人的，還是失去家園與生計的人。
同時，我也想對救援隊、醫護人員、警察、軍人、當地社區以及志願者的不懈努力，致以深切的謝意。在如此艱難的時刻，他們的勇氣、慈悲和無私奉獻，帶來了支持與希望。
我懇請我們在尼泊爾、西藏、印度以及全球的所有寺院、中心和法友們，將每一位受災者銘記於心。請將您們修行佛法的功德與願力，回向給這場災難的受害者，以及所有致力於救援工作的人員。
我鼓勵所有有能力的人，透過可靠的救援組織提供物資援助。無論我們是否能給予物質上的支持，我們的祈願和願力都能帶來利益。
願一切眾生遠離痛苦及痛苦之因。
致上祈願

Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, shares this message following the recent floods near the border between Nepal and Tibet.
Dear Dharma friends,
I was deeply saddened to learn of the devastating floods and debris flows that have struck communities near the Nepal-Tibet border.
In a very short time, homes, roads, bridges, and livelihoods have been swept away. Many people have lost their lives, many more remain missing, and countless families have been separated from their loved ones or left without shelter and basic necessities. The suffering caused by such a disaster touches not only human beings, but also the many animals and other living beings affected by the destruction of their environment.
I cannot imagine the confusion, fear, and profound sense of loss that those affected, and the families of those who are missing, must be experiencing. All I can offer is my heart, my prayers, and a humble reflection based on the Buddha’s teachings.
According to these teachings, life is not defined by an absolute beginning or end. It unfolds continuously, in dependence upon causes and conditions. Physical forms arise and pass away; yet this does not mean that all connection, meaning, or love is lost.
When we lose those dear to us, it is only natural that our hearts feel heavy and disturbed. Their physical presence may no longer be with us, but the love we shared, the meaning they brought to our lives, and the qualities they embodied continue to live within us. We can honour them by carrying these qualities forward with compassion, courage, and care for others.
My prayers and thoughts are with all those touched by this calamity: those who have died, those who are missing, the injured, the bereaved, and all those who have lost their homes and means of livelihood.
I also wish to express my deep appreciation for the tireless work of the rescue teams, medical workers, police, army personnel, local communities, and volunteers. Their courage, compassion, and selfless efforts bring support and hope at a time of great hardship.
I ask all our monasteries, centres, and Dharma friends in Nepal, Tibet, India, and throughout the world to keep everyone affected in their hearts. Please dedicate the merit of your Dharma practice and your aspirations to the victims of this disaster, and to all those working to bring relief.
I encourage all those who are able to offer material support to do so through reliable relief organisations. Whether or not we are able to contribute materially, our prayers and aspirations can bring benefit.
May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
With prayers,
Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa
