In what has become an annual tradition during his winter activities in Bodhgaya, the Gyalwang Karmapa returned once more to Root Institute to teach for an afternoon. This year, in his seventh such visit to the institute, he offered a profound and inspiring talk on impermanence.
法王於魯特學院的開示，已經成為每年冬季在菩提迦耶的例行活動，而今年是法王第七年訪問該學院。

Root Institute is part of the FPMT organization (Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition), and is a centre which particularly attracts many international dharma students.
魯特學院隸屬「護持大乘法脈聯合會」(FPMT)，每年吸引許多國際佛弟子造訪。

An hour before the Gyalwang Karmapa’s arrival at the centre, the institute was blessed by the auspicious arrival of a rescued elephant, whose upkeep and ongoing care are sponsored by the institute’s Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. The elephant, a female named Ragnini, arrived adorned in elaborate silk brocade, with intricate painted patterns and a headpiece of glittering silver jewels, ready to welcome the Gyalwang Karmapa in grand style.
法王抵達前一個小時，由該學院的精神總指導梭巴仁波切(Zopa Rinpoche)所認養的一隻大象也回到了學院。這隻名為惹妮妮(Ragnini)的母象，穿著華麗的絲綢錦緞，頭戴閃亮的銀飾，身上有精緻的彩繪，加入恭迎法王的隊伍，緣起極為吉祥。

以下是法王的開示：

After leaving the shrine room he then made his way outside, escorted by the long-term director of Root Institute, Venerable Labdron, and headed directly over to where Ragnini the elephant stood patiently waiting. The Gyalwang Karmapa spent five minutes gently hand-feeding her fresh bananas—with palpable joy evident from both sides.
演講結束後，在於魯特學院服務多年的總執事拉準法師(Labdron)的陪同下，法王步出大殿，直接走向在一旁耐心等候的大象惹妮妮(Ragnini)。法王拿起自己特別帶來的新鮮水果，輕柔地親手餵食，先是香蕉，接著是蘋果，之後是甘蔗，持續有五分鐘之久，雙方的欣喜，顯然易見。

Bamboo评论（2022-09-26）：知道达赖集团为啥挟持着中、美、欧政权搞出新冠疫情来围剿Bamboo吗？他们不是怕Bamboo这个人，是怕Bamboo的网站做完，他们以往偷、抢大宝讲课和作品的真面目就兜不住了。自己又讲不出什么像样的东西来唬人，就只能靠偷和抢了，五世达赖的作风。

所以说挖空心思、做尽恶事换来的名声、地位、财富、权力，都要如露、如闪电般消失了，怎能不急呢？Bamboo只是吃饱了没事干，写写作业罢了。

另外，想炫富就要养大象，一顿能吃掉Bamboo好几个月的生活费。
