Title
Pamela Winfield: A meditation on Buddhism in the time of pandemic
Description
The story of the Buddha’s Four Encounters teaches us that beyond our own palace gates lie the universal forces of old age, illness, and death. Likewise, the unfolding story of this pandemic teaches us those same lessons of impermanence, suffering, and loss of self, in both a literal and metaphorical way that discloses our interdependence. Most importantly, both stories hold up the model of social detachment without alienation.
