"The cause of all our personal problems and nearly all the problems of the world can be summed up in a single sentence:

Human life is very deep, and our modern dominant lifestyle is not." --Bo Lozoff

 

The Human Kindness Foundation, founded by Bo and Sita Lozoff, is a non-profit organization which stresses a way of life based upon three common principles taught by the great sages of all religions: Simple living, a dedication to service, and a commitment to personal spiritual practice.

Human Kindness Foundation's primary focus is its internationally respected Prison-Ashram Project. We also produce a newsletter three times per year, which anyone is welcome to receive. Back issues are available here. This website offers access to articles and podcasts, Morning Readings and a list of our friends and other organizations we support.

Kindness Philosophy

In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine, kindness may be too easily dismissed as a "soft" issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But kindness is the greatest need in all those areas -- kindness toward the environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.

We're All Doing Time

Bo’s first book We’re All Doing Time, with over 385,000 copies in print, was hailed by The Village Voice as "one of the ten books everyone in the world should read," and is acclaimed by prison staff and prisoners alike as one of the most helpful books ever written for true self-improvement and rehabilitation.
