„People can live together in society only in an atmosphere of mutual trust, where they have reason to believe that others will speak the truth; by destroying the grounds for trust and inducing mass suspicion, widespread lying becomes the harbinger signaling the fall from social solidarity to chaos.“

Bhikkhu Bodhi, The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering (1984).

Interview with Bhikkhu Bodhi | Dharma Chats

Upaya Zen Center’s "Awareness and Action" series:

Bhikkhu Bodhi offers a penetrating teaching on discernment as the heart of engaged Buddhism in times of crisis. He reflects on his journey from 1960s activism, through decades of monastic practice in Sri Lanka, and back into the realm of social engagement, emphasizing that “Buddhism must not remain cloistered within meditation halls; it must speak to the burning issues of our age”

> How are ordinary Americans pledged to Buddhist ethical and spiritual ideals, to respond to the array of interwoven crises we’re likely to face in the years ahead? How can we deal with this bizarre downward dip in the American political experience in ways that best embody the values we cherish, the qualities we discern in the exalted figure of the #bodhisattva?

"Compassion is what makes the heart shake with the suffering of others . . . The active expression of empathy is what I call “conscientious compassion,” the heartfelt commitment to reduce the suffering of others, contribute to their well-being, and strive to create a world conducive to human flourishing." https://www.lionsroar.com/to-rescue-a-world/

"We believe that every human being possesses intrinsic dignity, that everyone should be treated fairly, that those fallen into hardship should be protected and given the chance to flourish, and that the resources of the earth should be used judiciously, out of respect for the delicate web of nature." - #BhikkhuBodhi

☸Anguttara Nikaya☸

Reading strategy:
Although the number of points in the suttas is the organizing principle, within each chapter suttas are generally grouped by topic. So a start to finish reading is fine.

Another option is to follow #BhikkhuBodhi's topical guide to the collection. You can find an online version here: https://readingfaithfully.org/bhikkhu-bodhis-thematic-guide-to-the-anguttara-nikaya-linked-to-bhikkhu-sujatos-translations/

Similar to the SN, this collection works well by reading for a fixed amount of time or pages each day. 4 pages a day and you can read in a year.
