When it comes to solving the world\u2019s problems, spiritual wisdom can unfortunately offer some confusing messages.\u00a0Consider the phrase:\u00a0The world is your mirror<\/em>. Taken at face value I can only conclude that a large portion of myself is intolerant, violent, fearful, racist, selfish, greedy, and polluting. If you’re seeing the world I am seeing, then perhaps this is you too…<\/p>\n

This is not entirely true of course\u2014well, I hope<\/em> not… Rather, the\u00a0teaching is this: If we want to change how we see the world, we have to change what\u2019s in our minds. The promise is that if\u00a0we work on ourselves through meditation or whatever means resonates, we will be able to look upon all the problems of the world with a calmness and acceptance. Indeed it is this search for inner peace that entices hundreds of millions of us to follow a spiritual path.<\/p>\n

But here is the rub\u2014and I know I’m not alone\u2014I have spent the last 15 years working on my inner self, and, yes, I am happier, and calmer. I have more love, and less fear. But<\/em>, in\u00a0spite of the increased inner\u00a0work, the world seems to be experiencing greater violence, more pollution, and an increasing gap between the rich and poor. Something about this reflection doesn\u2019t quite add up.<\/p>\n

My heart seems to be telling me that this spiritual approach is not going to be enough. The big issues are just too big.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enter confusing and somewhat contradictory spiritual teaching number two: We live in a world of duality<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Indeed whether it’s yoga philosophy, New Age wisdom, mystical teachings, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, or Judaism, we are told that the very nature of this world\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0suffering. It is one of ups and downs, and perceived ‘goods’ and ‘bads.’ So all that inner\u00a0work is great in helping us to cope with this realization, but the reflection is never going to change, so don’t even try. Is that the truth here? Some teachings even refer to the world as an illusion. Why get caught up in the world when it’s not even real? Rather, our time would be better spent accepting that the world is how it is, and aiming to transcend it by attaining enlightenment.<\/p>\n

Intellectually I understand these points,\u00a0but my heart has never really agreed that I should sit back on my cushion and watch while the world goes to hell in a handbasket. So instead I have played my small part\u2014volunteering in my community, composting, donating\u2014and for the big issues? Well, I largely rely on\u00a0prayer<\/a>, and meditating on world peace.<\/p>\n

But lately, my heart seems to be telling me that this spiritual approach is not going to be enough. The big issues are just too big. And spiritual leaders, among many others, seem to be saying the same thing.<\/p>\n

Take Pope Francis. There’s a man you would lay odds on is relying on prayer, but instead he has become one of the world’s most active defenders of the environment. His June\u00a0encyclical<\/a>\u00a0was tweeted by world leaders as\u00a0it laid out in no uncertain terms why the world needs to come up with actions to respond to climate change and save the planet. This week at the Paris Climate Conference<\/a> the pontiff not only sent his shoes to represent him at the cancelled march<\/a>, but in his speech he further called the world to action:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year the problems are getting worse… We are at the limits. If I may use a strong word I would say that we are at the limits of suicide.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With regards to terrorism, last month following the Paris attacks, the Dalai Lama also made the unusual statement that prayer was not<\/em>\u00a0going to be enough. Speaking to a German newspaper<\/a>, the 80-year-old spiritual leader said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a Buddhist and I believe in praying. But humans have created this problem, and now we are asking God to solve it. It is illogical. God would say, solve it yourself because you created it in the first place.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Rather, the Dalai Lama said that what is required is to stop<\/em> expecting help from God, Buddha, or governments, and instead start working for peace. He said that if we are to “foster humanistic values, of oneness and harmony” then what is called for is not<\/em> a spiritual approach, but rather “a systematic approach.”<\/p>\n

Several politicians\u00a0have also emphasized this point this week following the mass shooting in San Bernardino<\/a>\u2014proclaiming that prayers for the victims of shootings, as compassionate as those may be, do not stop gun violence<\/a>\u2014only a change in legislation can do that.<\/p>\n

There seems to be a global call to action happening. Renowned spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson<\/a> ran to be a politician in California, and urges that it’s time for the spiritual community to get involved in\u00a0structural<\/em> change. Because yes, we can all feel better about the state of the world after an hour on our cushion chanting, but it won’t close the hole in the ozone layer, or solve a refugee crisis.<\/p>\n

David Loy, a zen teacher, lays out in his article in Lion’s Roar<\/em><\/a> why we, as a spiritual community, need to become more proactive. This means shifting our sole focus from escaping the world, to becoming a bodhisattva. Bodhisattvas\u00a0delay their nirvana because they wish to save others from their suffering. It is compassion in action. It’s Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Thich Nhat Hanh<\/a>. And this proactivity\u00a0could well be the path that that leads us to nirvana anyway.<\/p>\n

Being detached from the state of the world, David says, is a confusing and misunderstood\u00a0spiritual teaching that leads to inaction. Bodhisattvas are unattached<\/em> to the fruits of their actions, but they are<\/em> engaged in the world:<\/p>\n

“This non-attachment is essential in the face of the inevitable setbacks and frustrations that activism involves, but it does not mean that one is unconcerned about the results of one\u2019s efforts.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Essentially, let’s work out how we can best help, with the intention of changing the reflection of the world in the mirror\u2014but\u00a0not being disheartened if it stays the same.<\/p>\n

“Given the urgency of the ecological and social challenges that face us today, are we not all called upon to become bodhisattvas?” asks David. And indeed, why wouldn’t we want to help one another in the best way possible? One less confusing pearl of spiritual wisdom is that we are\u00a0all interconnected. And perhaps the ‘best way’ to help, in this age, may entail setting\u00a0aside the cushion for a moment, to take\u00a0a more proactive stance.<\/p>\n

How we are each called to action<\/a> will be different and unique to our journey, and skills, but for what it’s worth, here\u00a0is some sage advice from my own teachers.<\/p>\n

1. Work on yourself.<\/h3>\n

It’s true that the only way we can really be of service is if we have a calm mind<\/a> and a loving heart.\u00a0Whatever it takes to get there is what we do.<\/p>\n

2. Continue to pray and meditate.<\/h3>\n

As far as I am aware there are no studies that show complaining producing positive results. But there is plenty of research that points to prayer and meditation as being beneficial for both the individual taking part and those around them.<\/p>\n

3. Find your unique skill.<\/h3>\n

We cannot solve all of the world’s problems. But there are plenty of people with the right skills who collectively can. We are one of them and we need to find our skill. This is not to be confused with our gift. We may be a great artist, but we may also be rightly placed to do work towards conserving the oceans<\/a>, too. For example, this yoga teacher<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0making a difference by developing machines to manufacture sanitary pads for women in refugee camps.<\/p>\n

4. Be proactive\u2014not random\u2014with kindness.<\/h3>\n

Why do acts of kindness need to be random? We can plan acts of kindness targeted to where it is most needed. There are some great ideas in this blog<\/a>, such as sending flowers to people who may be suffering. If we listen to our intuition, we will know how best to serve through kindness.<\/p>\n

5. Work on yourself.<\/h3>\n

Yes, it’s this one again. We cannot give if we are depleted. When we feel overwhelmed, overworked, or overstretched in our giving, it’s time to take a break and go back to working on ourselves. What lessons can we learn? After all, the world doesn’t need martyrs, it needs bodhisattvas.<\/p>\n
