The Love Series: Meditations on Love, a Guide to Cultivating Meaningful and Compassionate Relationships

This class is offered in person only

$10 per class, free for supporting members

Whenever we feel an appreciation for another person or being, whenever we are valuing another person’s happiness or freedom, we are experiencing love. Authentic love is available to us at any time. Love is our nature. It is the manifestation of our naturally good heart and whenever we access it we experience peace and happiness. The mind of love is a tremendous source of energy. The mind of love can nourish and can heal.

Buddha taught an extraordinary sequence of meditations through which we gradually let go of the hurt and resentment that holds us back from opening our hearts to others. These meditations help us to purify our love, thereby improving all our relationships. Step by step practical advice will be shared on how to cultivate love in our relationships, connect with people on a deeper level and expand our capacity for love to eventually encompass all beings.

The Transformative Power of Meditation

A Creative Approach to Challenging Times

When we experience stress and tension in our lives, it’s easy to feel emotionally overwhelmed or powerless; In Buddhism these painful emotions are known as ‘delusions’, unreliable states of mind, guaranteed to create unhappiness for yourself and others. Buddha taught clear methods – based in meditation – for recognizing these delusions and transforming them into healthier, reality-based states of mind. These are essential tools in a world where we cannot always control what happens, whether that’s with personal struggles or the uncertain times we live in. By applying these methods and dismantling our painful states of mind we can remain peaceful and effective in even the most difficult situations.
