Build a strong foundation for your interpersonal relationships.
from Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Thich Nhat Hanh
How to Apply This
-
Discuss any conflicts you see growing.
Don’t let them rot and fester within yourself or the other person. Also, be open to understanding the other person’s point of view. -
Understand your partner’s “suchness.”
“Suchness” is a Buddhist concept that refers to the essence of a thing or a person, i.e., its true nature. Look for your partner’s suchness, as learning it will help you understand them better, and you will have a much more harmonious relationship with them.
