Question asked by Osmani Rodriguez ( Padma Tsewang).
Namaskar ? I am initiated in the Nyingma School by Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche. I really enjoy and respect Tsem Rinpoche's lecturers and his perspectives. I have a question for him on the Coronavirus… I was spiritually told by a Naga entity that this virus is caused by Naga elementals / entities. Would Tsem Rinpoche say this is quite possible ? Considering the suffering the animals in the cages they are kept in alive in the wet markets in China? The Naga entity said they are angry at humans and how they treat nature and the suffering and destruction of nature by the ignorance of humans.
Thank you for your time …

Dear Osmani Rodriguez,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, I do not have the clairvoyant ability to see if the virus is indeed caused by a Naga element or not. However, in Buddhism we believe that regardless of what the conditions of a particular situation is, it is ultimately based on Karma. Hence all situations in life, whether good or bad come from karma. The current Coronavirus is considered to be based on our collective group karma to have this virus appear at this time and to be so virulent.
Whatever the case may be, this is a time to contemplate our actions, individual and collective, and to change the way in which act on a day to day level to be more compassionate and wiser. This is necessary not just in relations to those we live with, our communities and our countries, but also to the world we live in and all its inhabitants which includes animals. I hope this helps.
