the quote means, in our lives, we have been & continue to be the recipients of gifts, offerings & sacrifices; that we have benefactors (such as mother & father)

the Buddha taught, in terms of benefactors, there are 'six directions'

Reflecting over your post Element this thought came to my mind: Why does Thay have never quote that sutta or suttas (the Pali Canon ones) at least in his main and most popular books. Not doing that makes one to think he has coined the idea and the concept of interbeing as his own discovery. Applying his own concept it would have been convenient to quote the source of his insight and to expouse it in a much more direct way as you have done it in your post.
