Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, shares the following message from the Karmapa International Buddhist Institute (KIBI) concerning the plane crash at Kathmandu earlier today.

Dear dharma friends
 
I was giving a public teaching at KIBI when I heard the tragic news of the fatal plane crash at Kathmandu airport. As things stand, 49 people have lost their lives.
 
I ask all of my students to offer prayers for all of the victims and those affected. 
 
With compassion
