On the external front, the teacher advocates for an interdependent outlook, emphasizing the beauty of communal living, shared meals, and the strength derived from seeking help and offering support in various aspects of life.
Overall, the teacher encourages a balanced approach, where we acknowledge our individuality in handling our inner worlds while embracing our interconnectedness in the external world, fostering a sense of community and compassion.
