"You have to become more aware of yourself and your context which is your world. In a sense, the world is our mind," he said.
To illustrate his point, Snyder said when teaching workshops he'll sometimes take people out for a walk "to make them see where the rivers and streams are flowing to and from."
"I'll remind them that good manners requires you to get to know the names of the plants and flowers and birds," he said. "That's etiquette."
