"One way of making myself healed is not to make myself healed but everybody healed. If I feel that everybody is kind and compassionate, then there is no way I can feel unkind."~ Ringu Tulku Rinpoche

🙏🏻✨❤️

On the auspicious occasion of India’s Republic Day, I extend my warm greetings to the people of India.

This day reminds us of the profound values enshrined in the Constitution—justice, equality, freedom, and compassion. India’s great strength lies in its rich diversity, ancient wisdom, and the spirit of harmony that unites its people across cultures, languages, and faiths.

May this day inspire renewed commitment to peace, mutual respect, and responsibility toward one another and toward the natural world. True progress is achieved not only through material development, but through cultivating kindness, ethical conduct, and wisdom in our hearts.

I pray that India continues to flourish as a beacon of democracy and spiritual heritage, and that its people enjoy lasting peace, happiness, and well-being.

With prayers and good wishes,
His Holiness the Karmapa

"You may remember something that happened yesterday. You don’t go through it too much, you just remember breathing now.

If you are a little bit more advanced, then you can even look at that thought."~Ringu Tulku Rinpoche

"But if we focus our mind on more positive things, whether it is in our life, in our mind, in our emotions, or around the world, there are still lots of positive things happening. Then we have hope; we become encouraged and inspired, courageous, positive and joyful, and more determined. And that is what we really need."~ Ringu Tulku Rinpoche
