Title
Pamela Winfield: A meditation on Buddhism in the time of pandemic
Description
Again, from a Buddhist perspective, it is important to try to remain calm and try to see both sides of the same coin. “Hell can be other people,” to paraphrase Sartre, but salvation can be other people as well. In particular, it is important to remember the heroic medical and mental health care professionals who voluntarily enter into the fray every day to work for universal public health. They unquestionably embody the bodhisattva’s enlightened virtues of selflessness, compassion, courage, and use of expedient means (upaya) to alleviate the anguish of others.
