地点：美国和印度锡金隆德寺

2018年4月2日，第九届"khoryug"环保大会于锡金邦隆德寺召开。约34个寺院的90多位僧尼代表与会，学习应对气候变化，并分享各自开展环保项目所取得的进展。法王噶玛巴通过视频分享他的想法，他说：“我知道你们过去九年来一直致力于环保工作，并对你们所取得的成绩感到非常满意。由于西藏和喜马拉雅山作为下游数十亿人口的水源地的重要性，我呼吁大家也承担应对气候变化的责任。我们应该看到我们保护自然和保护环境的行动不仅是减少气候变化影响的方式，而且也是我们佛教实践的一部分，因为我们所做的一切都会使其他有情众生受益。”
Khoryug是一个由超过50个藏传佛教寺院和横跨喜马拉雅地区和南印度开展环境保护活动的僧尼组成的协会。它于2009年由法王噶玛巴设立，是一个非教派的生态寺院和尼姑之家，从环境教育，重新造林，河流清理，春季恢复，野生动植物保护和适应气候变化等领域开展项目。僧侣和尼众聚集在这里参加为期4天的会议，管理其在不丹，印度和尼泊尔的寺院的环境项目。此次会议使他们有机会了解更多关于建立气候变化抵御能力的信息，反馈他们正在进行的项目情况，并且讨论和分享他们以往的经验教训。会议的主题是：我们自己和我们的社区的气候恢复力。活动主办方邀请联合国开发署(UNDP)、世界自然基金会(WWF)以及锡金政府科学技术部的专家，向与会者提供相关培训。
法王噶玛巴多年来一直在教授气候变化问题。由于气候变化在个人层面上看起来是非常具有压倒性的，法王噶玛巴作为一名环保主​​义者和素食主义者，建议我们将气候变化视为精神变化，将其与自我内心的发展联系起来。他说，“最终，科学技术不能为人们的态度和行为带来必要的改变。我们需要将佛法和科学结合起来才能成功，我祈祷Khoryug的集体活动有助于铺平这种前进的道路。"

Rumtek Monastery hosts the 9th Annual Environmental Conference for Himalayas Buddhist Monasteries and Nunneries
April 2nd, 2018, Rumtek Monastery, Sikkim - His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje spoke from afar, sharing his thoughts via video, with 90 monastic representatives from 34 monasteries and nunneries this morning. He said “I am aware of how hard you have been working on environmental protection for the last nine years and very pleased with the success you have all achieved. Due to the importance of Tibet and the Himalayas as a source of water for billions of people downstream, I appeal to you all to also take up the responsibility of addressing climate change. We should see our actions of preserving nature and protecting the environment not only as ways of minimizing climate change impacts but also as part of our Buddhist practice because everything we do will benefit other sentient beings.”
Khoryug is an association of over 50 Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and nunneries spread across the Himalayan region and South India that carry out environmental protection activities. It was established by His Holiness the Karmapa in 2009 and is a non-sectarian community of eco-monasteries and nunneries leading projects ranging from environmental education, reforestation, river clean-up, spring-shed restoration, wildlife protection, and climate change adaptation. The monks and nuns gathered here for the 4-day conference manage environmental projects for their monastic institutions in Bhutan, India, and Nepal. The conference gives them the opportunity to learn more about building climate change resilience, to report back on their ongoing projects, and to discuss and share lessons learned from their previous experiences. The topic of the conference is: Climate Resiliency for Ourselves and Our Communities. The workshop includes training from partners such as ATREE, ECOSS, WWF, and UNDP, and the Science and Tech Department of the Government of Sikkim.
His Holiness has been teaching about climate change for many years. Citing that climate change can seem very overwhelming on a personal level, His Holiness who is a committed environmentalist and vegetarian, suggested that we see our response to climate change as a spiritual one and link it to the development of our inner self. He said, “ultimately, science and technology cannot bring about the needed change in people’s attitude and behavior. We need to combine dharma and science to do so successfully and I pray that Khoryug’s collective activity helps pave such a way forward.”
