The Dalai Lama also offered prayers. In a condolence message to
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, the Nobel Laureate expressed his
shock and sadness.
'It would be very good if Japanese Buddhists are to recite '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,' he said in a message to
the Japanese people.
The monks of Namgyal Monastery, Kirti Monastery, Institute of
Buddhist Dialectics and Dip Tsechokling and nuns of Geden Choeling
Nunnery recited 'Heart Sutra' for the people affected by the
tragedy, the website quoted Ven Norbu Dhonden, additional secretary
at the department of religion and culture, as saying. The 17th
Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, who is touring Sarnath near Varanasi
in Uttar Pradesh for his annual spring teaching, also participated
in special prayers.
Prayers were also conducted in Tsuglagkhang, the main temple at
McLeodganj in Himachal Pradesh.
