HH Dalai LamaHis Holiness the Dalai Lama expressed sadness and offered his prayers and condolences to all those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. His Holiness also commended the Japanese Government's disaster preparedness measures in preventing the death and destruction from being much worse. Recommendation by His Holiness as a Buddhist monk who daily recites the Heart Sutra, His Holiness felt it would be very good if Japanese Buddhists were to recite the Heart Sutra on this occasion. Such recitation may not only be helpful for those who have lost their precious lives, but may also help prevent further disasters in the future. Prayers to recite the Heart Sutra one hundred thousand times were being organized in Dharamsala for this purpose. His Holiness the Dalai Lama Expresses His Sadness Over the Recent Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan HH the KarmapaHis Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, on hearing of the disaster in Japan, immediately called for special prayers.

HE Garchen RinpocheA Message from His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche: 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. Song of prayer for Japan, "Mercy" by Hannah Ford
