Abstract

Covid-2019 is a great threat to humankind, which brings deadly harmful for one who lives negligence in life. Although the Department of Disease Control and the Ministry of Public Health state the ways to prevent Covid-2019 by wearing a face mask, wash hands or wipe with alcohol sterilization, stay out of close contact with people who cough, sneeze, and avoid being in crowded places, refrain from traveling to vulnerable areas, do not touch eyes, nose, mouth, do not share things with others, etc., there are still many outbreaks of such disease. However, the Buddhist viewpoint is an opportunity for Buddhists to be able to develop themselves in such situations as follows: 1. Existence without negligence. 2. Living in a suitable area 3. Less resource usage 4. Escaping to find oneself and 5. Maintaining cleanliness. These five concepts can reduce the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic from spreading to others and contributing to the self-development method in accordance with Buddhism even further.
