The Eightfold Path, Part 5:  How to Make a Living without Selling Your Soul

The Eightfold Path, Part 5: How to Make a Living without Selling Your Soul

This talk explores Right Livelihood as a living inquiry rather than a rigid moral rule, asking how we can earn a living without gradually betraying our values, vitality, or sense of dignity. Grounded in the Buddha's teachings and everyday work life, the talk examines the ethical foundation of do no harm, the importance of inner congruence between what we do and what we feel in our bodies, and the often-overlooked relational impact of our work—how it shapes our patience, speech, and capacity for care. Rather than idealizing purity, the talk brings a grounded, compassionate lens to the real tensions people face around money, responsibility, and meaning.

You'll learn how to recognize subtle ways work can create inner fragmentation, how to listen to bodily signals and conscience as guides to integrity, and how to assess whether your livelihood is making you more humane or more armored. The talk also offers a wise, practical approach to compromise—showing how to live in the world as it is without collapsing into cynicism or self-betrayal, and how to take small, sane steps toward a livelihood that supports both survival and awakening.
