We hear so much talk on interconnectedness. Many times its explained in terms of the teaching on dependent co-arising, which is really an inappropriate use of the teaching. Dependent co-arising teaches the connectedness of ignorance to suffering, the connectedness of craving to suffering. Thats a connectedness within the mind, and its a connectedness that we need to cut, because it keeps suffering going on and on and on, over and over again, in many, many cycles. But theres another kind of connectedness, an intentional connectedness, that comes through our actions. These are kamma connections.... the real basis for a sense of connectedness comes through kamma. When you interact with another person, a connection is made. ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu
