Recently one of my Buddhist friend asked me what is a Buddhist view on Pandemic.
My initial view was the earth lacks balance. I feel human race has taken away so much from planet earth and torture other sentient beings like animals by rearing them for food.
But upon deeper reflection , I thought about Buddha's teaching on the Four Noble truth which include Life is suffering. Besides the Four Noble truths, there is also impermanence. There will be an end to this pandemic when the causes and conditions are met.
Meanwhile, just stay safe by staying at home, wash hands and wear mask if you need to buy groceries.
May all sentient beings be safe.
