Commonalities Practice and the Fundamental Desires of Humans
In this chapter, they discuss the Buddhist practice of Commonalities Practice and how it has been revolutionary to the speaker. They explain that every human wants to be happy and avoid pain, and although there may be exceptions like sociopaths, most people share this fundamental desire. They talk about how they observe people in public transportation and realize that everyone is fundamentally the same, even if they may have different strategies or tools to achieve happiness. They also touch upon the idea of differences within groups being equal to or greater than differences between groups, emphasizing the importance of commonality as human beings.
