Through Every Jewel | February 8, 2015
All day long, creatures are bumping into other creatures, squashing
them, killing and eating and drinking them, wearing and using them,
walking and lying on them, destroying their homes. There is no personal
boundary to this karmic responsibility—it radiates through every jewel
in Indra's net. A karmic debt 'owed' by one is owed by all. Vegetarians
owe as much as meat eaters, pacifists as much as fighters. There are no
personal safe zones, no useful strategies for self-protection.
