Because this blog series, originally hosted on our sister site geshetashi.org, is turning into a regular source of practical, focused and highly relevant advice for those who wish to use their spiritual practice to greatest effect during this Coronavirus pandemic, we will be hosting these updates for you here from today.
In this extraordinary series, Geshe Tashi gives us regular updates on the Coronavirus Pandemic amongst the Tibetan diaspora in India through the lens of Sera Mey Monastery, home to 6,000 monks. In response to emails asking after his welfare and requesting advice in these difficult times, he generously shares his observations, thoughts and advice in his usual warm-hearted and accessible style.
In this update Geshe Tashi tells us more about the measures and preparations he’s been putting into place for the Sera Mey community.
Once again he very kindly offers us extensive advice on the practices we can be doing for ourselves each day. Particularly helpful, we think, are his recommendations on how to start the day, and his observation that this is the moment our dharma practices and studies have been preparing us for. Now is the time to put what we’ve learned into practice!
In case you would like to catch up on Geshe Tashi’s two previous Covid-19 updates, we have them ready for you below.
Geshe Tashi will read any comments you make, we would all love to hear from you.
Thank you Geshe Tashi and the Admin Team for making these talks available. I had been watching them on the other website but helpful to have them here on FBT as well. I particularly appreciate Geshe Tashi’s remarks on keeping perspective for those in developed countries. Also, the ripening of causes and conditions ties in very well to our study of the Four Noble Truths. I hope Geshe Tashi can continue to update us and share his wisdom on dealing with this crisis.
