"Understanding Emptiness & Interdependence" and "The Insight of Interbeing"
"Emptiness and interdependence - they're more than concepts; they're key to realizing real-world benefits in our lives" (The Karmapa).
Emptiness means nothing in these terms, it inspires us to be optimistic about life
Each individual is a continuation of each family member. However, we create our own legacy.
"Everything relies on everything else in order to manifest" (Hanh, Nhat Thich).
It's important to remember that if we start with nothing, that doesn't mean that is our destination. The harder we work and the more we learn, the more money we will make.
The more we mature and grow, the more opportunities life throws at us
Emptiness = things embedded within context where lacking is invovled
We must always become adaptable to change since life throws at us several challenges each day.
Interbeing is an important word because it shows us that we are always there for each other and what life throws at us.
If we didn't have all of our human cells, then we'd be non-existent and Thich Nhat Hanh made a great point here.
Whether one sees it or not, there's always someone watching the actions we make.
The zero function is a good representation of starting with nothing.
Emptiness and interdependence work hand in hand. As people, we are always dependable on other things in our lives in order to grow, live, and survive.
Buddha looks at interdependence as connectedness. It's what the real world is all about.
If we make bad decisions, it destroys us and others. If we make good decisions, we grow and it helps others. Always need responsiblity.
Working together is so important for us, especially with jobs.
Putting our lives before others goes a long way and keeps people extremely happy when they feel that they are loved.
If we want to live productive lives, we must work with interdependence.
Engaged Buddhism helps us become better in society with the change in the environment, politics, and economics
Changing for the better relates to Anitya ("impermanence")
Change for the worst relates to Duhkha ("being unable to provide complete happiness")
Anatman is when we lack change
