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.

Hi Kaarine

I can only give my opinion. What I quoted is a small part of the suttas & probably generally not taught widely.

Personally, my view is Thay should be given credit for highlighting & clearly explaining the reality of 'interbeing'.

I trust his strong belief in the importance of this reality arises from his own heartfelt realisation.

Kind regards
