Right Livelihood

Duration:
28 minutes
First broadcast:
Wednesday 29 September 2010

Can you have ethics and make a living? Or will the squeeze on jobs mean compromises just to pay the rent? This week’s Heart and Soul, looks at the morality of making money and investigates whether the Buddhist precept of Right Livelihood can make even the dirtiest jobs and the harshest workplaces bearable. Remembering our connectedness to other beings can take the disgust out of some of nursing’s most physical tasks, and every workplace offers an opportunity to practice compassion for our co-workers.

Presenter and Producer: Kerry Stewart of the Encounter programme on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
