Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, gives the following statement for students and teachers concerned about current affairs:
“
For every leader and every government, every decision is a difficult one. As citizens, this is something that we may keep in mind.
Once a decision is made, we may – with this understanding, genuine respect, and with no emotion – request leaders to find solutions, to find a middle way, so that the decision finds a path without extremes.
