A Buddhist Response to Coronavirus (Covid-19)

The current crisis of Coronavirus (Covid-19) has changed our lives significantly in the last few weeks and brought a lot of fear and anxiety. However, although we may be living in uncertain and somewhat scary times, we have a choice in what we focus on.

The Buddha taught that our mind is the root of all happiness and joy; our perspective is what matters most. In this video, I explore how the Buddha’s teachings can protect our mind so that we can become a source of great calm, compassion and wisdom.

Dear YouTube community!

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted a video. Many times, over the last two years, I’ve wanted to post something, however short; but due to health problems, I simply haven’t been able to manage producing videos for both my membership site and additional videos for YouTube.

Until the day I can produce more videos for YouTube, if you’re looking for additional teachings from me, please take a look at the 50 new video teachings in my membership site, which I’ve made over the last two years. There are also 27 Question & Answer videos to watch as well.
