Autumn leaves, Toronto, Yeshe Dorje<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/h3>\n

We can use metaphors to help envision interconnectedness. . . . thinking of reality as a net.\u00a0 We can also see it as a fabric that has been woven through causal relationships.\u00a0 Like threads that run through a piece of fabric, the actions of one person serve as causes whose effects others must experience.\u00a0 In other words, the consequences of our actions can harm or benefit others.\u00a0 Responsibility is thus part of the fabric of reality.\u00a0 It is not an optional accessory,\u00a0 (<\/em>Interconnectedness.\u00a0 Embracing Life in our Global Society, The Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje.\u00a0 Translated by Damch\u00f6 Diana Finnegan)<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Dear Readers, there are so many negative issues being discussed in the media nowadays.\u00a0 Foremost, from a global perspective, is the importance given to President Trump’s latest tweets, the seemingly never-ending controversial issues coming out of the Middle East, and the unstable fluidity of the\u00a0 relationships amongst the leaders of North Korea, Russia, China and the United States.\u00a0 At home in the UK, there is also an almost\u00a0 breathless schadenfreude around the woes concerning the Brexit negotiations.\u00a0 But let’s not go there.<\/h3>\n

To paraphrase a comment by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, “I used to read the news every morning and discovered that by not reading the news it made no difference.”<\/h3>\n

There are many positive issues discussed on the internet.\u00a0 As an alternative to “bad news” often discussed in the media, I would like to recommend\u00a0The GoodNewsNetwork<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

Take care over the festive season, and…<\/h3>\n

Wishing all the best for 2018<\/span><\/h1>\n
