The 12 practices are organized in three vessels, Grounding, Fruition, and Fertile, each preparing learners to integrate wisdom into an interdependent awareness.
Practice #12
12. COMMUNITY AS CONTEXT.
This practice ultimately determines what it is to be a person, because becoming a “self” happens in community. This practice expands my view of “self” and community as mutually dependent on causes and conditions – a point of view that unifies and views coherence in the flow of experiences.
I believe I am a discrete, fixed, and solid entity. I am an independent and individual identity to protect and defend.
