2020 has so far shrouded the world in unprecedented changes. The coronavirus outbreak which became a worldwide pandemic, not only brought out the worst but also the best in humanity (page 57). The pandemic reminds us once again we should cherish and appreciate, and not take what we have—peace, family and good health—for granted (page 60). We should always bear in mind the teaching on impermanence emphasised by the Buddha.

“Remember always that you are just a visitor here, a traveller passing through. Your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown (page 40).”

佛陀的所有教诲都不离慈悲、大爱和智慧。世尊以无漏智察觉到所有的众生皆是平等的，没有生命是独立存在的，所有的生命都息息相连。

也就是说，人类、动物和植物，都无法分隔，所有的生命是互相联系共存的。我们也可以通过这次传播至全球各地的疫情，体会到这一点。
