*The understanding that our relationships are what make us possible, and that the health of these relationships determines the health of the whole.* *A philosophical concept rooted in Zen Buddhism, notably proposed by Thich Nhat Hanh. It emphasizes the interconnectedness and interdependence of all elements of existence. According to this concept, nothing exists in isolation; everything is interwoven and mutually dependent. This [understanding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbeing) informs ethical living, mindfulness, and compassionate actions, highlighting that our well-being is intrinsically linked to the well-being of others and the environment.*
