What is my responsibility for a genocide occurring across the sea, cultural obliteration taking place on the other side of the world, or everyday abuses happening in the backyard of my own country? I have contemplated this question and shared it with other members of Buddhist study groups. But it was not until recently that I came up with a possible answer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Buddha Shakyamuni, when talking about karma (cause and effect), spoke of group or collective karma. In a nutshell, collective karma shapes the ethical, social, and even health outcomes of communities, influencing both suffering and well-being. That is to say, through our actions as a group, we shape the contours of our mind and the world we inhabit. I think this is very relevant in the globalized environment we have built in the twenty-first century.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-331cdb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"331cdb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Disconnection or Interconnection?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7b2d5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7b2d5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are responsible, as individuals and collectively, in as much as we perpetuate a mental framework that divides the world into self and other, us and them, friends and enemies, good and bad, victims and aggressors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This split between self and other leads me\/us to defend myself\/ourselves tooth and nail against all that is not me\/us. This way of understanding reality and the actions resulting from it renders us not only as victims (Why me?) but also as aggressors (I am right, and you are wrong!). This is precisely the launching of the endless cycle of suffering that the Buddha called samsara. It is exactly this polarity that prevents us from breaking free from our self-made prison of opposing labels. Paradoxically, we create this split in our pursuit of happiness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At a practical level, in everyday life, how can we begin to do something different?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3dc52ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3dc52ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Empathy and Compassion<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6582708 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6582708\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Buddhist teachings tell us that we will be breaking our habitual pattern when we empathize not only with the victims, but also with the aggressors. Even if we get nauseated thinking about it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Until we are able to have compassion not only for those being harmed but also for the perpetrators of such harm, we are generating suffering for ourselves and for others. We should remember that all beings\u2014friends, enemies, animals, gods, hungry ghosts, hell beings, demigods\u2014are trying to be happy and transcend suffering. But more often than not, we make choices that create further misery, ours and others\u2019. When we recall that all beings are pursuing the same happiness, that renders us all equal\u2014beyond what is imaginable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where can I begin? Where can we begin?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By looking within. By familiarizing ourselves with our own mind, seeing its capacity for desiring, hating, and ignoring, the same as everybody else\u2019s. Recognizing the outside events that make us angry is a start, but we have to see what is happening inside, even if we do not like it and we do not want to recognize it, even if we think no, we are nothing like them. Ultimately we are all the same beyond our superficial choices and actions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-539a2b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"539a2b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Eliminating Duality<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-982c2a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"982c2a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I imagine this proposal might sound subversive or crazy at a relative level.
