佛友來電郵提問：

林上師： 您好，阿彌陀佛！

我女兒4月5月都要在美國某醫院實習, 由於醫院設備供應不足，醫生全都面臨感染新冠病毒，可否替他們這些站在最前綫卻沒有最好保護的醫療人員祈福；是否需要醫院名字及地址呢？她是第一年的實習醫生，每個月換不同的醫院，工作24-48 小時不等，口罩、防護衣、護目鏡及測試套件都不足夠，也許很多人都已經感染病毒卻沒有足夠的測試去檢查。我覺得她及其他同伴就像每天都在面對自殺，真的太擔心了。可否告知怎麼幫他們啊！
非常感謝🙏您。

我會持續為大家祈禱。

教她要常念「觀世音菩薩」；並且每天早晚念此偈3遍：

祈求安渡偈

法界本淨主　一誠感應尊
修法濟眾苦　甘霖遍大千

病毒肆虐猛　感染傷害深
祈求慈悲祐　歷險得安渡

A Dharma friend asked the following question in an email:

Guru Lin: How are you? Amitabha Buddha!

From April through May, my daughter will start her internship in a hospital in USA. Since the equipment in the hospital is not well supplied, the physicians are all facing the possibility of getting infected by the coronavirus; could you please pray for well-being of all these medical professionals who are standing at the front line and yet lack the best protections possible? Do you need the name and address of the hospital to pray for them? She will be intern for the first year, and will rotate in different hospitals monthly, while working in shifts from 24 to 48 hours. Masks, gowns, goggles and test kits are all insufficient, perhaps many people have already got infected by the virus without having enough tests to find out. I feel that she and her fellow workers are daily facing suicide—it indeed causes me too much worries. Could you please let me know how to help them?

Thank 🙏 you very much!

I will keep praying for all of them.

Tell her to repeat often the holy epithet, Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva; and daily recite the following Gatha 3 times in the morning and in the evening:

Pleading for Safe Passage Gatha

Host of Original Purity
Holiness of single-minded inspirations
Practicing Dharma to alleviate all sufferings
Nectars spraying all over the Dharmadhatu

Viruses violently spreading calamities
Infections are making much damages
We plead for Your compassionate protection
Grant us safe passage through dangerous situations
