Putting Kindness into Action

About this episode

Bhante Sathi discusses the importance of translating compassion into action and overcoming personal barriers to kindness.

What can a child’s mind do concerning compassion? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explores the all too often dilemma between “wishing happiness” on others versus executing that action. Unlike a child-like perspective on the world, we unconsciously create barriers and walls of identity that make up who we think we are. But by developing a child-like sense of self and expectation, we can break down those barriers and cultivate the inner freedom required to extend genuine compassion for all living things.
