Purpose of sharing a house “For the Benefit of All Beings”

All beings, includes me and others.

The intention behind doing something impacts my experience.

--- Turning mundane, routine things into helping the world, beginning with my housemates.

This creates a positive and meaningful experience with the most mundane activities of daily life and sharing, such as cleaning, putting in a particular place because others really prefer that, etc.

--- Inter-dependence, what I do and don't do affects everyone and vice versa

This is about expanding my perspective to balance caring for me and others

It is stepping out of self centered ness, me only, ignore others.

It is about stepping out of other centered ness, others only, ignore me.

--- Pay it forward, participate in a chain of kindness that has unforeseeable positive consequences

Provides positive motivation to do acts of kindness for my housemate and those outside the house.

--- All Being have Positive Potential

Even when they cover that up with hurt/harmful words and actions

I look for the Positive Potential in my housemates and myself.

This brings positive energy into the house to help working out issue and separating go easier for everyone.

--- Reduce environmental impact thru a few people sharing a kitchen and living room, instead of having one kitchen and living room per person

--- Questions to ask when creating proposals

What do I need to be the most helpful to the most people ?

How can I help others get what they need to be the most benefit to the most people ?

How do I balance both wishes ?
