In the practice of mindfulness,

we exert ourselves to see more clearly and cleanly into the nature of things and people, including ourselves. 

As Thich Nhat Hahn taught, "The fruit of this effort is insight, understanding, and love."

The practice of mindfulness can reveal to us the interconnections between all things in the world – our dependent co-arising – that he called inter-being. 看到一張紙，會看到一朵雲，看到所有相互依存的人事物。Feeling that connection with the world can sometimes be deeply reassuring.
