“We are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself. Everything we have and everything we enjoy, including our very life, is due to the kindness of others. In fact, every happiness there is in the world arises as a result of others’ kindness.” -Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, How to Transform Your Life.
Our ability to realize and remember this fundamental truth will awaken a deep sense of closeness and appreciation that will transform our relationships with others and our world.
