Rinpoche of Tsurphu:
When the Chinese leader Mao Zedong died, Karmapa held a huge Powa-ceremony for him, and all the monks responded with love and compassion for Mao in order to purify all the negativity which he had accumulated. We have no anger against him. Why? Politically Mao was our opponent. But in our religious vew there is no single creature on Earth to which we are not related. For example you and I are also related. Maybe you were my father or I your mother or we were related in some other way. Everyone is related to everyone else. The circle of death and rebirth is unending and each individual has already passed through an infinite number of lives. All living creatures are as closely related as children to their parents. For this reason there can be no enemies.
