Relational covenants, if they can be enforced, are really important.
How do you create a safe and supportive environment within a Buddhist community? Episode 27 of the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast tackles this crucial question with the help of Jean Tuller, Brian Dean Williams, Sue Neufeld-Ellis, and Alex Holt. Recorded at the International Buddhist Recovery Summit in 2019, this episode dives into the nitty-gritty of making sanghas safer for everyone involved. The conversation kicks off with a focus on relational covenants.
These agreements are not just fancy words; they are vital for holding everyone accountable for their actions. Jean Tuller emphasizes that enforcing these covenants is key to creating trust and safety within the community. But it doesn’t stop there. The guests also discuss the importance of policies and training to educate community members about their roles and responsibilities. Whether you’re part of a large or small sangha, these guidelines can make a significant difference in fostering a supportive atmosphere.
Smaller sanghas face unique challenges, but the episode offers practical tips to overcome these hurdles. From setting clear expectations to offering regular training sessions, the advice shared is both actionable and inspiring. If you’re involved in a Buddhist community or simply interested in how mindfulness practices can enhance group dynamics, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with valuable insights and real-world examples that can help you build a safer, more compassionate space for everyone.
