We have relationships with everyone we interact with: family, friends, teachers, colleagues, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practicing Radical Acceptance for ourselves teaches us that our own suffering isn\u2019t wrong, and pain doesn\u2019t mean that there\u2019s something wrong with us. <strong>We can get that same message from others, and give it back to them. <\/strong>Giving Radical Acceptance to others reminds them that they are inherently good and worthy of love. When we practice Radical Acceptance of others, and they practice Radical Acceptance of us, we can find wells of confidence and strength we never knew that we had.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an example of what this strength can do, Radical Acceptance is the key to interventions for alcoholics or drug addicts. An intervention isn\u2019t about confronting or attacking the addict. Instead, the key is to let the addict see and hear the people who love him in spite of the harm he\u2019d caused to himself and others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communities have strength that individuals lack.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Importance of <\/strong>Community Relationships <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This story is an example of the importance of mindful relationships in Buddha&#8217;s life. The Buddha called <em>sangha<\/em>\u2014community\u2014a treasure of the spiritual path. Indeed, sangha\u2019s benefits are exemplified by the Buddha\u2019s relationship with his cousin Ananda. Ananda saw to the Buddha\u2019s material needs, and the Buddha offered Ananda unwavering spiritual guidance. Each supported the other and provided what he needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening our hearts to others can be a gift to them, as well as to us\u2014it might make them feel welcome to do the same.<\/strong> For example, someone who\u2019s nervous about performing in a show might share that feeling with their fellow performers. In doing so, not only is that person addressing her own fear, she\u2019s opening the door for other people to share their own discomfort and offer mutual support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exposing our vulnerabilities through mindful relationships is always a risk, but we\u2019ll suffer much worse pain if we keep ourselves isolated from one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can Radical Acceptance help us to improve our mindful relationships with other people?
