Context

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, posts a tweet on International Women’s Day 2020.

‘No matter how difficult the situation may be, we should employ science and human ingenuity with determination and courage to overcome the problems that confront us. Faced with threats to our health and well-being, it is natural to feel anxiety and fear. Nevertheless, I take great solace in the following wise advice to examine the problems before us: If there is something to be done — do it, without any need to worry; if there’s nothing to be done, worrying about it further will not help. … With heartfelt feelings of concern for my brothers and sisters around the world who are passing through these difficult times, I pray for an early end to this pandemic so that your peace and happiness may soon be restored.’
