"Protecting oneself, one protects others.
Protecting others, one protects oneself."
-The Buddha

Lama Dawa's Commentary:
The Buddha here is speaking profoundly to the truth of interconnectedness.

The fact that we are all connected in many ways, obvious and not so obvious, and one's well-being is entwined with the well-being of others and vice versa, the well-being of others affects and influences our well-being.

We are all in this together.

We are all going through this journey of life.

We all operate under the same laws of cause and effect.

We're all subject to the same laws of impermanence.

So we share profound common ground this in this way we actively work for the welfare of others.
