Enlightened Self-Interest

Analogy

Imagine your life is like a beautiful garden filled with various plants and flowers. Each individual element within the garden represents a person or entity, and their well-being affects the overall harmony of the garden. Just as a gardener nurtures each plant, providing it with water, sunlight, and care, enlightened self-interest encourages us to tend to our own growth and happiness while recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings.
