| 摘要 | We believe that creating peaceful communities and acting cooperatively can help overcome our differences and disputes, whether those disputes are in local, national, or international communities. As global community members we must collaboratively address the pressing international problems of health, poverty, hunger, environment, and inequality - in all of its virulent forms. Together we can create caring societies that seek the common good for all and that engender well-being, inclusivity, and harmony. Reflecting on his wisdom, we ask ourselves, “How can we come together to create hope and common good?” Certainly, we could speculate about and debate that endlessly, but the state of human affairs cries out for us to engage with each other in ways that transcend and transform societies’ and leaders’ typical linear and end-result driven ways – the ways of “humans doing.” The “O Path” offers us a process of becoming “humans being”, as we collectively act for peace and with compassion – both of which are fundamental to addressing our human crises. The O Path engenders equality in our roles and interactions. As such, it is contrary to the typical hierarchical models of organizations with leaders at the top and a flow of followers down a pyramid to the bottom. More a distributed leadership mode, the O Path creates microcosms of humans being and doing. While there are, indeed, things “to be done”, to transform human problems, individually and collectively, we need to nurture compassion and peace within ourselves and each other. The process of such nurturing for the common good is flowing and is at the heart of following the O Path, out of which manifests addressing our common problems. |
