Title
Pamela Winfield: A meditation on Buddhism in the time of pandemic
Description
This brings us to the fourth and final encounter, when the Buddha ventured out of the palace and decided to follow the social renunciate who was seeking liberation from this realm of impermanence, suffering, and loss. In the contemporary context, social distancing is indeed our only means of salvation at this point, but the Buddha ultimately rejected the sannyasin’s extreme state of self-denial that isolates, alienates, or rejects anyone’s fundamental humanity.
