INFORMAL PRACTICE
1. Develop mindfulness of action. During the day observe patterns of action and reaction within yourself (in body/gesture, speech/words and mind/thoughts-feelings).
​
2. Observe and reflect on "Interbeing", a word coined by Thich Nhat Hanh which reflects dependent arising, non-self and emptiness. For instance, when you sip a cup of tea, you are ingesting the tea leaves, the water, the sunshine, the clouds and rain, the farmers, the delivery folks, the vendors, those who made the cup and on and on.
​
Dependent arising is related to karma. It is the belief that everything that is in existence exists because other things are in existence. Therefore, everything is interconnected, and everything affects everyone.
