#15: Taoism's Advice for Dealing with a Pandemic

In this podcast, we will explore how the great Taoist sages Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu would deal with a pandemic. One thing which has been revealed during this current pandemic is the state of mind within the world which is quite alarming. Some countries have been unified in their response and dealt with the situation a lot better than other nations who are seemingly divided based on their view that the current pandemic cares about our individual rights. Taoism can teach us how to respond spontaneously with intelligence, no matter how dire the situation is. But for Taoist wisdom to shine, we need to see each and every situation as it is and not according to our personal beliefs of how we think it is. The wisdom of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu will allow the world to go back to what it was before, but we have to grow up and stop fighting each other and complaining about the situation and realize there are a lot of people really doing it tough in the world, especially in Third World nations. We have a great responsibility to each other and our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate and cannot support themselves in this pandemic. The lessons of Taoism will give you a natural strategy and remedy for dealing with the current pandemic. (This podcast was first released on YouTube July 26, 2020).
