COVID-19 in Myanmar: Burmese Edition

In this inaugural episode of our ongoing "COVID-19 in Myanmar" series, we present the Burmese Edition, where we hear from the four local voices who present their perspectives on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in Myanmar. They reflect on how their Buddhist faith and practice has played a role in helping to them to understand and respond to the crisis. The guests include:

· Zaw Win Htet, a local historian and monastic school supporter in Chaung Oo.

· Dr. Jenny Ko Gyi, a Buddhist professor and translator.

· Inda Aung Soe, a former monk and founder of an organic composing organization.

· Nay Zaw Tun, a safety and security manager at a Yangon corporation.

Similar themes run through these discussions: personal karma in contrast to world events, Myanmar’s close proximately to China, praise for the Burmese government’s handling of the crisis, and affirming the power of mettā, or living kindness.

As part of this new series, in upcoming episodes we will explore how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting Burmese monastic society, and how it is impacting meditators around the world, and pushing meditation teachers to respond in new and innovative ways to the crisis as it unfolds. In this time of uncertainty and insecurity, we hope the voices that follow provide information and insight, and help awaken the seeds of wisdom within you.
