This from Khoryug:

It is with great sadness that we inform of a devastating earthquake that has hit the Kyegu region in Kham, Tibet on the morning of 14th April 2010, which has claimed more than 400 lives and injured around 10,000.

His Holiness the Karmapa has directed all the Kagyu Monasteries to hold the following prayers; Zangchod Monlam (Aspirational Prayers of Arya Bhadracharya), Khorwa Dongdrug (Overturning of Samsara’s Depth) and Changchog (Inscription-Ritual for the Deceased) for the victims of the catastrophe and their families.

Also, according to his Twitter profile, “a message from His Holiness in response to the devastating earthquake will be translated into English and posted shortly.”
