“Cecilia Kapua Lindo sums up this sentiment in “Grateful to All Beings”: From time to time
I too am misled by the myth
That exalts the independent, self-made man. Upon hearing the voice of the Enlightened One,
Any air of self-importance
Is deflated, like an empty balloon. And I become aware that my existence depends
Upon the many lives that are slain for me
Each time I sit down to eat my meal.”
