The Six Ecosattva Vows

The Ecosattva Vows
One Earth Sangha November 15, 2011

Based on my love of the world and understanding of the deep interdependence of all things,

The First Ecosattva Vow
To live in Earth more lightly and less violently in the food, products and energy I consume.

The Second Ecosattva Vow
To commit myself daily to the healing of the world and the welfare of all beings; to discern and replace human systems of oppression and harm.

The Third Ecosattva Vow
To invite personal discomfort as an opportunity to share in the challenge of our collective liberation.

The Fourth Ecosattva Vow
To draw strength and guidance from the living Earth, from our ancestors and the future generations, and from our deep spiritual friends of all species.

The Fifth Ecosattva Vow
To help others in their work for the world and to ask for help when I feel the need.

The Sixth Ecosattva Vow
To pursue a daily spiritual practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart and supports me in observing these vows
