Thinking about the eight worldly dharmas & bodichitta

Loss & Gain



Pleasure & Pain



Praise & Blame



Fame & Disgrace



These are often referred to as the "worldly concerns." I have been wondering (for over 15 years) if it is truly possible to disassociate oneself from the above without disengaging from the world entirely? Can one live in a modern society and not get caught up in the eight worldly dharmas?

When I see a selfless, kind person I know it is possible.
