Right livelihood is not just a philosophical ideal. It is a practical,
achievable reality. Finding and maintaining right livelihood does
require regular, consistent action, but the steps are clear and the
results immediate. Finding your own right livelihood depends primarily
on getting in touch with your "beginner's mind." Mindfulness challenges
us to stay with things as they are and to change our lives through
action that harms no one. Working together, mindfully and
compassionately, we can create a community in which all our livelihoods
are "right."
