Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the COVID-19 affected the entire world, some people started to contemplate this tragedy from spiritual perspectives. This includes Buddhism. I also understood the fear, anxiety and depression of people that struggled with this situation. This has caused me to first, publish a book in Japanese about the 8 Buddhist Tips on how to deal with COVID-19 Fear（新型コロナウイルスへの不安と恐れを乗り越える８つのポイント）; second, to write a new book in English about this topic. This is the result. Perhaps reading a long book might be boring. Therefore, I will give the eight Buddhist tips in a concise manner. I also would like to remind you that there is no direct discourse about COVID-19 fear busters. The tips are derived from the deeper teachings of the Buddha, and how they are utilized in our current difficult situation. Contents Introduction 1. Listening to the Experts 2.
