One Mind

We hear much about the notion of One Mind, or The One, or Interdependence, or Oneness etc.. But, what is it that we take away from terms such as these?  What if we could really penetrate the meaning of One Mind---Buddha Mind---Buddha Nature? What would our lives look like if we could experience what is sometimes called, "interbeing"?  Think about that word: INTERBEING. Do we? And with what or who? Is there a limit or threshold to our capacity to interbe? Is it possible to even interbe? Who do you truly love; can you interbe with them? How about all those less fortunate than you are? Or, those more fortunate than you are?  Does it really matter if you want to interbe? Is this the source or true love and compassion? Is this the One Mind, the Buddha Mind. Buddha Nature?  Is it in you? A lot of questions today, but sometimes we need a kind of menu of choices (here just pick a question or two) to help us draw a bead on what lies around us. We are just coming into a new year. Maybe we can make this a year of interbeing.
