*INTERDEPENDENT
We must develop a systemic point of view based on the understanding that everything emerges from one thing. We must realize that Man is not the lord of nature but merely one of the threads in its fabric - a fabric innn which all forms of life are interdependent. As we know and understand it, our existence becomes an extension of love which is the foundation of Christianity; it becomes the end to suffering and the fulfillment of compassion which is the foundation of Buddhism. It becomes the recognition of the creative pulsation of the Self which is the foundation of Hinduism; it is the state of the uncarved block which is the foundation of Taoism; and it is an expression of the harmony of Heaven, Earth, and Human which is the foundation of Confucianism.
