Service and Compassion
By Randy Salars·
Service and compassion are at the heart of spiritual life in every tradition. Acts of kindness, charity, and selfless service—whether called Christian charity, Seva in Hinduism, or Buddhist compassion—are ways of expressing love for others and honoring the divine in all beings.
Charity: Giving time, resources, or support to those in need.
Volunteering: Offering skills and presence for the good of others.
Everyday kindness: Practicing empathy, patience, and generosity in daily life.
Service transforms both giver and receiver, fostering humility, gratitude, and a sense of interconnectedness.
