Wisdom and freedom of thought
Wisdom label: critical thinking, freedom of thought and no coercive control.
Vow 9
Vow 9 asks for right view and freedom from trapping doctrines. No belief is imposed here: critical thinking is a criterion.
This label recognises education about sources, freedom of conscience and prevention of manipulation.
Who can apply for this label?
Any human creation: an object, book, music, film, game, software, website, building, place, service, event, research project, organisation, public body or one person’s work. It needs real action and a reachable responsible person; good intentions alone are not enough.
What we check
Critical thinking
Access to differing sources and a clear distinction between facts, opinions and beliefs.
Freedom
The right to question leaders, not believe and leave without losing one’s family.
Prevention
Recognising pressure, extraordinary promises, imposed secrecy and repeated requests for money.
For every label: a clear identity and reachable person in charge, written consent, dated public evidence, fair prices and readable accounts, safety and freedom for everyone. No payment can buy a label. A serious alert triggers a new review; serious fraud means withdrawal.
No vow label has been awarded to date. The review is free.
