Jonathan Leighton | The Authenticity of Compassionate Living @jonathanleighton1 | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 46 minutes ago.
Living authentically means aligning our lives with our values - both our own personal values and universal values - and with the truth about reality. Because our identities are less separate from one another than we often realise, the suffering of one is in some ways equivalent to the suffering of another. When we treat all sentient beings the way we would like to be treated ourselves, including not paying people to harm others, we gain greater harmony in our own existence and can truly aspire to be the change we want to see in the world.
Recorded at Karamel, London on 22 September 2018 at the event "The Superpowers of a Plant-Based Yoga Practice" organised by Veganahata with support from The Vegan Society
