In our lives, we tend to relate to our world as if it is “other.” This category encompasses almost everything we can think of: the weather, the government, the coronavirus; our boss, our adversaries, and even our loved ones. “Other” also includes our unpredictable, all-consuming thoughts and emotions. In this dynamic with the world, where it seems that things are always happening to us beyond our control, we feel we have little agency and frequently encounter suffering and confusion.
The Mahayana teachings on interdependence encourage us to look deeper into our unconscious assumption that we are separate from our world. They teach us how to poise our mind in a more inclusive way and can heal even our most troubling relationships with “other.” These teachings form the basis of the bodhisattva path, which gives clear and practical instructions for a meaningful, healthy, and compassionate life, and helps us develop a sense of unconditional wellbeing.
