Pamela Winfield: A meditation on Buddhism in the time of pandemic

Description

If there’s one thing that illustrates the basic insights of Buddhism, it’s this coronavirus. According to the Buddha’s hagiography, Siddhartha Gautama ventured out of his sheltered palace preserve as a young prince and experienced the Four Encounters: he saw an old man, a sick man, and a corpse before finally seeing a social renunciate or sannyasin.
