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?

It appears to be a Pariyatti audiobook reading of "The Noble Eightfold Path: The Way to the End of Suffering" by Bhikkhu Bodhi

"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/
