Corona Virus And Members of Divine Dharma Meditation

Dear members of Divine Dharma Meditation discipline, I would like to share some thoughts with everyone.

As we have known that our DDM discipline have more than 100 meditation centers around the world, and all centers are open daily to help the general public. However, since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, all meditation centers are closed temporarily in accordance to the government’s order. The Covid-19 pandemic are spreading across the entire world and the deadly corona virus can infect anyone at anytime regardless of ages.

Recent statistics has posted some information about the susceptible level to Covid-19 infection which regards to different nationalities from various places in the US.

In Orange County, the most Vietnamese populated city in the US; however, the rate of Vietnamese being infected is the least among all ethnic groups living in California. Mexican is the most infected one, followed by white people.

Globally, Vietnam is one of the few places that keeps its case count very low.

I remember the SARS outbreak about 17 years ago. In the US, the health department advised people not to gather in big crowd to avoid getting infected. Indeed, the health department had sent health care workers to every community and religious organization to educate people about SARS prevention. When they visited the DDM Headquarters in Seattle, they learned that we were practicing meditation every day and we also perform energy treatment to help others. They looked quite happy and shared with us that scientific research had shown that meditation is one way to strengthen the immune system to fight against viral infected disease. They said that, we were so fortunate because we could meditate to protect ourselves from these deadly viruses. They congratulated us and let us continue with our activity.

Followings are my thought:

When we practice meditation, our mind is calm and settled, the circulation of vital energy in the body is enhanced. As a result, our immune system becomes much stronger, which gives us the ability to protect ourselves against the Covid-19 infection.

Prior to 1975, almost everyone in Vietnam had received TB vaccine and it left with a big scar on their biceps. TB vaccine was available a hundred years ago. The region of Ca-Mau in the South and forests in central Vietnam were full of mosquitoes, most people had to take quinine for prevention and treatment of malaria. During the rainy season, most hospitals were full of children who were having dengue fever, and the death toll was usually high. So far there is no specific antiviral drug for dengue fever. The patients usually receive some intravenous hydration to help reduce dengue shock syndrome. This type of infection usually subsides after 4 days and the children recover by themselves.

In terms of severity, these 3 types of diseases: TB, malaria and dengue fever are not inferior compared to the Covid-19 infection. This could be the reason why Vietnamese people are less likely to be infected with Covid-19 virus, because they have been exposed to many serious deadly viruses. Therefore, their immune systems have been developed overtime.

My objective for presenting the above information is that I want to talk about the ability to resist against the Covid-19 infection of DDM members. We are so blessed to learn the meditation method of the Grand Master and the guidance of the Founder Masters, Thay and Co.

So far, all DDM members around the world are free from the Covid-19 virus, with only one exception during the earlier days, when the Covid-19 just started spreading in North America. One member from Montreal Canada was traveling far away from home, he did not have time to practice long-hour meditation as instructed by the Founder Masters, and he caught the virus. When he got home, he determined to practice long-hour meditation right away. After a few days, he went for testing again and the result was negative.

Particularly in Spain, where the Covid-19 pandemic is quite severe but all DDM members are healthy and safe. They share that they are very happy to be members of DDM for many years. Another case in Melbourne, where the worst outbreak is raging in Australia, the leader of a meditation group in Melbourne who is 65 years old. She works as a nurse specializing in Covid-19 treatment. She has just finished 5 weeks of working in the hospital, and now she is taking a few days of resting at home. She practices meditation everyday and very happy that she is safe. More than 1,000 nurses and doctors were infected with the Covid-19 virus at the hospital where she works.

It is obvious that all DDM members have good immune system because they commit themselves to practice meditation every day for many years without skipping a single day. To my knowledge, there is no other cultivation method that requires practitioners to practice daily meditation a must. Thanks to the requirement for daily meditation of DDM discipline. In so doing, we nourish our body with vital energy to maintain good health every day.

After completing Level 1 & 2 training, we have the capacity to perform energy treatment to help others. When we advance to Level 3, we have the ability to withdraw impurity for the patient. This is a very special technique of energy healing treatment of DDM that benefits both the patient and the healer. The withdrawing helps our body get used to all sorts of impurities to gradually boost up the strength of our immune system. During energy treatment, we can sense the flowing of energy from our hands to a problematic area in the patient’s body. The more energy we transfer to the patient the more energy enters our body via our chakras and the better the flow of energy throughout our body. This helps improve our overall physical health and this also help us develop a stronger faith in DDM’s practice.

In summary, these are clear demonstrations of the wonder of the Grand Master’s teachings. Let us always be happy and remember to protect and cherish the privileges that we have received from the Higher Beings.

Sincerely yours,

Diep Nguyen.
