In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

ñپ (ज्ञाति, “relative�).—According to the 2nd century Mahāprañpāramitāśāstra (chapter XIV), “all beings obtained the mind of equanimity (samacitta) by thinking of one another with the feelings one would feel (for example) for one’s relatives (ñپ)�.

In the course of innumerable generations, all beings have been one’s relatives (ñپ), father, mother, elder brother, younger brother, elder sister, younger sister and relative. Furthermore, according to the true nature (ٲⲹṣaṇa) of dharmas, there is no father or mother, no elder or younger brother; but people who are submerged in the error of self believe in their existence and thus there is the question of father and mother, elder and younger brother. Therefore it is not a lie when, by virtue of a wholesome mind (śٳٲ), we consider one another with the feelings we would feel (for example) for one’s relatives (ñپ).
