Abstract

Inspired by the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave, Bhāvyātrā is a walking pilgrimage, a metaphor for ‘slowing down’ in a fast-paced world. The qualitative study was conducted with 11 adults, both men and women, who had undertaken Bhāvyātrā. In-depth interviews were conducted to know their experiences of Bhāvyātrā and its effects on self and interpersonal relationships. Bhāvyātrā gave participants opportunities to reflect on pure intentions (Bhāv) behind their actions. Offering oneself in service in a variety of unfamiliar contexts enhanced feelings of trust and interdependence. Older, more experienced Bhāvyātris reported better psychological well-being.

Bhāvyātrā（行走的朝圣者）：通过服务实现自我发展的见解

受圣雄甘地(Mahatma Gandhi)和维诺巴·巴韦(Vinoba Bhave)的生活和工作启发，Bhāvyātrā是一个步行朝圣之旅，隐喻着在快节奏的世界中“慢下来”。这项定性研究是对11名成年人进行的，有男有女，他们都参加了Bhāvyātrā。通过深入访谈了解他们使用Bhāvyātrā的经历及其对自我和人际关系的影响。Bhāvyātrā让参与者有机会反思他们行为背后的纯粹意图(Bhāv)。在各种不熟悉的环境中提供自己的服务可以增强信任和相互依赖的感觉。年龄更大、经验更丰富的Bhāvyātris报告心理健康状况更好。
