What then does responsibility mean in the Buddhist sense of kindness? It means that we are not separate from our world, or anyone in our world. We cannot say of anything ‘This has nothing to do with me’. We are not separate as beings. This idea of connection is subtle, because our connection can take any form. Only our innate kindness—liberated through meditation—can guide us to respond accurately.
