Excerpt from Individual and Society by Nyanaponika Thera

The [Satipaṭṭhāna] sutta deals with the relations between ourselves and our fellow beings, between individual and society. It sums up in a succinct way the Buddhist attitude to the problems of individual and social ethics, of egoism and altruism. The gist of it is contained in those two concise sentences:

“Protecting oneself, one protects others” (Attānaṃ rakkhanto paraṃ rakkhati), and

“Protecting others, one protects oneself” (Paraṃ rakkhanto attānaṃ rakkhati).
