When teaching on compassion, the Gyalwang Karmapa has continuously emphasised that feeling compassion towards other sentient beings was not enough. Our compassion has to be turned into action. As temperatures dipped to freezing point and below across North India, the Gyalwang Karmapa bought and distributed over a thousand warm blankets to Bodhgaya's poorest.
法王在開示悲心時，再三強調光有對眾生的悲心並不夠，它必須成為實際的行動。在北印度的氣溫降到冰點以下之際，法王以身作則，為菩提迦耶最貧苦的民眾帶來上千條的毛毯，在寒冬中傳送悲心的暖意。

Several thousand people from Bodhgaya and nearby villagers, mostly women with small children, queued for hours at the gates to the Monlam Pavilion before the scheduled time of 3:00pm. The Gyalwang Karmapa then spent nearly an hour inside the Monlam Pavilion personally handing out the thick woollen blankets to each delighted recipient. Their stressed and worn faces lit up as they received the Gyalwang Karmapa's gift, together with his compassionate blessing.
數千名來自菩提迦耶與鄰近村落的居民，下午三點鐘不到便在噶舉大祈願舞台的門口大排長龍。這些多半是帶著小孩的婦女，在隊伍中守候已有數小時。站在大門內的法王，親手一一分派厚重的毛毯，為時近一個小時。在領到法王貼心的禮物與慈悲的祝福的剎那，他們飽經風霜的鬱鬱臉龐頓時開朗，露出難得寬心的微笑。

Later, as they dispersed across the surrounding fields cluthing their new blankets, their delight could be clearly seen on their smiling faces. Later that evening, the brand new grey blankets could be seen wrapped aroud the shoulders of many of the beggars living Bodhgaya's streets.
不多久，手中緊緊抓著毛毯的歸去人潮在四週的田野上擴散開來，笑臉上流露出的歡欣顯而易見。當晚黑夜降臨時，這些全新的灰底毛毯將重現於菩提迦耶的街市，紮實地裹在許多露宿街頭乞丐們的肩頭上。

This active expression of the Gyalwang Karmapa's compassion has helped protect over one thousand people from the deadly cold. Every winter thousands of people, many of them homeless, die from cold across North India. Each of the thousand new blankets gifted by the Gyalwang Karmapa is made from thick wool, perfectly suited to the freezing winter conditions.
法王此悲心的具體行動，有助於上千位民眾免予致命的冬寒。每年冬天整個北印度凍死的民眾高達數千名，他們多半是無家可歸的街友。法王親手送出的每一條毛毯，都是厚質的毛編品，最適於抵禦冰凍的冬寒。

Bamboo注：2022年12月19日，Bamboo在墨西哥街头遇见大宝时，他身上只裹了一条当地流浪汉都能领到的灰底毛毯， 因为他知道Bamboo2013年在kagyumonlam.org上看到这篇藏、中、英三语都有的文章时，觉得练英文和藏文不错，抄了好几遍，所以印象深刻。事实上Bamboo虽然见冬天流浪汉身上都裹了这么一条，但也不知道哪里可以领，可大宝却知道。想来，他是想告诉Bamboo，你曾经做过的每一件善事，将来都会在你危难时成为你的救护。（2024年1月09日）
