I just found this explanation of 'interbeing' and wondered if anyone had any comments in relation to my previous post about the suttas:

INTERBEING

"If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this piece of paper. Without a cloud there will be no water; without water, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, you cannot make paper. So the cloud is in here. The existence of this page is dependent on the existence of a cloud. Paper and cloud are so close......”

Interbeing: wisdom, prajna

Interbeing is a relatively new term coined by Thây to describe the essential interconnectedness of the universe. It challenges us to look beyond the world of concepts and opposites. If we look deeply into the nature of our universe we can see all things as profoundly interdependent.

In traditional Buddhism this was originally called dependent co-arising. At the heart of this understanding is the realisation that we have no separate self, that everything is empty of a separate self in a universe which is in a constant state of flux and change.

The interdependent nature of all phenomena is central to many Buddhist teachings.
If we use wisdom as a translation for prajna, it does not mean the same as the everyday idea of wisdom as in wise person. The Prajñaparamita Heart Sutra (see Chapter 4.3) means perfection of wisdom and deals with the element of Buddhist wisdom sunyata, often translated as emptiness.

Thây teaches that this emptiness is always emptiness of something, it is empty of a separate self. His insight is to turn this around from a negative to a positive, so instead of no separate self, he uses the term interbeing, meaning connected to everything."
