“The real transformations in you are often very profound, deep and often very slow – they are inevitable and irrevocable. Once you have started to awaken, you can’t turn back. It is going to go on no matter what.”

Recognizing the Self

In a rapidly developing and hyper-connected global culture that often emphasizes individual achievement and scientific objectivity, recognizing that the “self” is just another mental construct can be transformative, helping cultivate an unbiased, bodhisattva-like compassion.

The Power of Kindness to Change the World

The eightfold path is a foundational Buddhist teaching offering eight practical guidelines for moral living, mental training, and wisdom as the way out of suffering.

Right action, one of the guidelines for moral living, aims at promoting honorable and peaceful conduct. Scholar Andrew Olendzki argues that at its core, right action translates as acts of kindness, including mental acts of kindness, and that cultivating this quality can change the world.

“The mental state of actively caring about someone and wishing them well is not to be taken for granted but is something to remind yourself of and practice doing often,” says Olendzki. “The more seeds of kindness you plant, even with your thoughts alone, the more healthy fruit of goodwill and love you will reap. When these thoughts spill over into words and deeds expressing loving-kindness, all the better.”

Join Olendzki on Thursday, May 7 at 1 p.m. ET for a free online workshop exploring intention and kindness through the lens of the eightfold path as a starting place for social action.

Workshop participants will receive a special discount on Dhamma Wheel, Olendzki’s year-long daily contemplative study email program.
