What sort of oneness do you mean?  We all breath the same air etc. so
because we share a common environment -- we are one?  Or we all came from a
common source, thus are one at the root?  Or we all are the same
substance and thus one?  Or we are varied conditions of that same shared
substance?  Or we have one soul, but different forms?  Or some
combination of these possibilities -- or some other one?

  When hearing, pondering and practicing the Dharma, one's aim should be
  first of all to subdue one's own mind.   Gyelwa Ensapa
