Advice from Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche
on Living with the Coronavirus

To all my dear fellow humans,

   I know we are in a situation with this coronavirus that is very disturbing and worrying. But it is a reminder for all of us that we should always be careful about what we do and eat or drink, because all sorts of diseases and sicknesses are caused by our own thoughts and activities. It is better that you all learn this well and try to be more aware of it. So now we should train ourselves to be more careful about what we are doing.

   Not only that, but we have to activate more righteous thinking and doing. For that we need to develop kinder hearts, with compassion and loving kindness, instead of worrying or feeling emotional with anger or hatred toward anyone, including the virus itself. Like earthquakes, hurricanes, storms or even heat, including global warming, the virus is innocent—it doesn’t have any thought to harm human beings. We are humans who have the greatest intelligence among all species. We have to learn from our wrongdoing and we should correct ourselves before it’s too late, I think.

   Please be kind to each other and care for each other—we all want happiness and peace. Happiness and peace are possible to achieve in the near future if we humans learn and realize what we really need to do for the wellbeing of ourselves. We are social animals. We are dependent on each other in this global existence. We are so closely related that when any part of the world is affected we all are emotionally disturbed.

   So I am requesting you, all my dear brothers and sisters, please try to understand the situation and be helpful and kind to each other in order that we may all survive on this, our beautiful planet .

Blessings with lots of ❤ love to you all, my dear humans.
