Title
Pamela Winfield: A meditation on Buddhism in the time of pandemic
Description
The third mark of existence, loss of self (an-atman), was symbolized by the Buddha’s encounter with death, for it is only with the death of the ego-driven, narcissistic, individualistic self that true realization of our profound interdependence can be gained. If there’s anything that teaches how interconnected we all are, it’s the transmission of a pathogen from person-to-person, or even person-to-surface-to-person, until country-by-country, the entire world lights up red on the CDC’s map.
