Interbeing

Interbeing is a term coined by the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. According to the concept of interbeing, nothing in the universe exists independently; everything is part of a vast web of existence where each element relies on others to exist and thrive. This understanding fosters a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and responsibility towards all forms of life and the environment, highlighting the importance of mindfulness and harmonious living. Much can be said about the latest decades of scientific discoveries in quantum physics and other fields that demonstrate this concept.
