Frohes Neues Jahr 2026

Ich möchte euch allen ein frohes Neues Jahr 2026 wünschen. Ich bete dafür, dass die Menschen dieser Welt in diesem Jahr erkennen, dass wir Frieden, Wohlstand und wahres Glück erreichen können, indem wir einfach lernen, freundlich zueinander zu sein. Mögen wir alle Gesundheit, Harmonie und wahres Glück genießen.

Ich möchte diese Gelegenheit auch nutzen, um jedem einzelnen von Ihnen zu danken, der mir und all meinen Projekten geholfen hat. Überall auf der Welt, wo ich hingekommen bin, habe ich echte Liebe, Wertschätzung und herzliche Gastfreundschaft erfahren. Ich kann meine Dankbarkeit gar nicht in Worte fassen. Ich sende euch meine Liebe und meine Gebete.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche / 31. Dezember 2025

Mögen wir zu Beginn des neuen Jahres unser Bekenntnis zu Güte, Weisheit und Mitgefühl erneuern. Indem wir füreinander und für die Welt, die wir teilen, sorgen, mögen unsere Gedanken, Worte und Taten zu Frieden und echtem Glück für alle Wesen beitragen.

17. Gyalwang Karmapa

“May all the sounds of lament and war as well as the poisonous winds in the environment be dispelled. May these words of love and compassion blend with the innate goodness of every single being and coalesce into one powerful force.
Like the light of the sun, moon, and stars, may love, compassion, and wisdom shine forth. May they strike every single living being and dispel the darkness of ignorance, attachment, and hatred that has lurked for ages in their being.
When any living being meets another, may it be like the reunion of a mother and a child who have long been separated. In a harmonious world such as this, may I see everyone sleep peacefully to the music of nonviolence. This is my dream.
Hoping the earth will recover does not help much. We must actually do something.
More natural catastrophes might be a wake-up call, but it is not easy to change our behaviour and attitudes. The environmental crisis is on a vast scale and it is difficult to change the situation overall. However, there is a Tibetan saying “Drop by drop the ocean is filled. Drop by drop a hole is made in the rock. If we all work together, we can do something.
Every breath we take is intimately connected with our planet, so every day should be Earth Day for us.
There is so much information available to us nowadays about the environment and the need to protect it, but the problem that remains is that while everyone has access to this information, many people believe it as knowledge, but don’t particularly feel the need to do anything about. One of my responsibilities is to encourage people as much as I can to actually make choices based upon accurate information about the environment.
A lack of love can cause people to have no help when they need help, no friends when they need a friend.” So, in a sense, the most dangerous thing in the world is apathy. Once our apathy takes hold of us, we can no longer avoid it.
We can lose direction in our lives because of material progress or luxury, and in such circumstances it is especially necessary for us to return to the study of spirituality and cultivate both wisdom and compassion.”
~From the 17th Karmapa’s talk, “Caring for Life on Earth in the Twenty-first Century,” which was given at the Harvard Divinity School.
The Karmapa is considered an environmental activist. He’s created an eco-monastic movement with over 55 monasteries across the Himalayas acting as centers of green activism. He sees religious leaders as important teachers and leaders in the environmental protection movement.

Der Buddha sagt im Udanāvarga:

 

“Feindseligkeit besänftigt niemals den Feindseligen,

die ohne Feindseligkeit besänftigen die Feindseligkeit.

Da Feindseligkeit Lebewesen schadet,

lassen sich die Weisen nicht auf Feindseligkeit ein.”
