I've always had the sense that animals are not fundamentally different from humans and have treated them accordingly. It's been my feeling that they have greater intelligence in some ways – as, of course, we are superior to them in other ways. - Marlon Brando

Bhante Sanathavihari Bhikkhu is a Mexican-American Theravada monk who lives in the Sarathchandra Meditation Center in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Interviewed, he was asked to comment on the Covid 19 pandemic:
“I don’t think I can say anything new about the situation with the pandemic. The virus is like all the other tragedies in the world. Every year in the United States, around 88,000 people die in alcohol-related incidents. How many people die of hunger every year? We are always surrounded by death, everywhere. The pandamic is just a highly publicized tragedy. What Buddhism can do is remove the bandage from our eyes so that everyone sees the instability, the insecurity, the impermanent and unsatisfactory nature of existence.”

Yoga is effective for losing weight and building strength and . . . it develops muscles for use "in the real world". That means yoga will keep you strong as you age allowing you to comfortably walk up and down stairs, carry your own groceries, get up and down off a toilet seat, hike trails, climb hills and much more. Read what functional health authority Kristi Lees states:
"Weight training and cardiovascular activity such as running tightens and shortens the muscles while yoga lengthens and builds functional strength. It teaches you how to use this strength effectively so you develop muscles that not only look good in the gym but are also useable in the real world . . . So instead of asking me why you should be doing yoga perhaps I should ask you why you are not doing yoga. What have you got to lose? Jump into the class at the gym or for a real yoga experience head to a studio."
