What if we could bring more self-compassion, curiosity and joy into our relations with others? What if we could skillfully deconstruct friend-enemy-stranger to realize everyone is just like us in wanting happiness and not wanting to suffer?
In this Taste of Buddhism, we’ll explore how Buddhist practices can enhance our relationships with others, starting with family. We may be well-versed in the values of managing our stress and approaching situations with calm. In addition, in Tibetan Buddhism there is a premium placed on examining our own minds.
We can enhance our family experience by finding the time to kindly self-reflect on our own mental state and the effects we have on others. We will look at ideas of attachment, beliefs that may help or hurt, and whether the effects of our actions are in line with our intentions.
