Greetings to anyone curious enough to click on this thread - I hope you are enjoying your time spent here at the forum!
I was looking at the Surya Das website and found this in his blog -
If ever there was a time to use the phrase “we are in this together” it is now. Coronavirus has plunged the world into uncertainty, spreading fear and anxiety. Constant news about the pandemic can feel relentless and overwhelming. What time is the Good News on, I wonder?
Fear and doubt lead us to withdraw into ourselves and veil our natural abilities to connect meaningfully, cooperate and collaborate, and commune together. Yet, it is essential, at this precious moment, that we watch out for each other, practice loving-kindness, and think positive—we will walk the Path together in person again. For now, we are alone together in spirit (and virtually) with wonderful woke friends and family while practicing spacious social distancing. Meanwhile, paramitas—Buddhist virtues—like patient forbearance and mindful attentiveness, energetic perseverance and keen discernment are coming in mighty handy around here! What a useful lesson in cultivating mindfulness to not touch ones face constantly throughout the day.
