4.	Description	Abstract	As the Covid-19 situation has developed rapidly into a pandemic of unprecedented scale, ethicists and philosophers must work to comprehend this tragic historical scene from a macroscopic perspective, striving to create peace in the minds of people worldwide. The Buddhist concept of Jihi is a key idea in East Asian philosophy and implies concern for others. Specifically, it requires its constituents to pray sincerely for the well-being and peace of mind of those who are suffering, regardless of nationality, age, gender, or family origin, and mourn this situation together. Accordingly, Jihi may represent a vital component of global ethics, particularly in situations involving the Covid-19 crisis.
