A good #father & good man know #humility isn't about debasing oneself but about being real & #honest w/ oneself & knowing deep down we're #connected to everyone & everything; the “web of creation” calls us to a conscience of #interdependence & #compassion. #FathersDay #NoKings https://bit.ly/3Tl7gHQ

📖 A story from 2050:
They gathered from across the world — not to conquer, but to connect.
A planetary assembly built on listening, care, and collaboration.

#Compassion (#karuṇā) and loving-kindness (#mettā) are central in #Buddhism, seen not just as emotions but as cultivated dispositions rooted in the doctrines of non-self (#anatta) and #interdependence. Their practice bridges ethical conduct and meditative insight, forming the foundation for both personal transformation and social action. In this post, we explore their philosophical underpinnings and practical implications in the Buddhist tradition:

Wicked problems are interconnected. Each can be both a cause and an effect of others, complicating understanding and solution design. Solutions might even cause unacceptable problems for others. #Interdependence #Systems

Happy #Vesak and #MothersDay !
We invite you to take advantage of the double holiday to reflect not only upon the gifts you have received from your own #mothers and from the #Buddha 's teachings, but also upon the two women who were maternal figures to the Bodhisatta Gotama: his birth mother Māyādevī and his aunt and #foster mother Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī (who also became the first #nun ).

In these challenging days, it can be helpful to consider the experience of environmental and social justice, Indigenous, and other movements in resisting oppression and creating alternatives.

As #MeisterEckhart put it, “what happens to another, whether it be a joy or a sorrow, happens to me.” Today’s #science fully endorses that statement of #interdependence, insofar as interdependence is seen as a “law” or habit of the universe. It’s how things work and hold together. https://dailymeditationswithmatthewfox.org/2025/03/27/the-4-paths-as-spiritual-practices-for-hard-times/

Ok! Really insightful, perceptive, and loving look into asking for help. I don't have brain to parse it well right now, but SO many lines I wanted to just stop and quote (drop your 🤯 quotes in the replies.

A friend recently wrote this post and I wanted to share:

" “Pace yourself”, people say, “it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon."

But the truth is, it’s a relay. You do your best, for as long as your energy holds, and then pass the baton to someone with fresh energy. And go rest and regroup, reflect and recover until you’re called upon again.

Pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion may train runners but it’s a bad strategy for activists and volunteers, for creatives, for caregivers and coworkers.

Interdependence doesn’t get enough credit in our competitive, egocentric culture. But if we take turns making a difference, the cause keeps moving forward."
