We Share One World

We follow the example of the Buddha, who presented the teachings to the Indians of his time in a universal fashion. It is much more enlightened to view the world as one global situation. Everybody is united: we are all samsaric people, and we all have the potential to become enlightened as well. We do not have to be particularly kind towards one part of the world or another, or for that matter, aggressive towards one part of the world or another. We are one world; we share one earth, one water, one fire, and one sun.

From Journey without Goal: The Tantric Wisdom of the Buddha, page 51.
