Love Without Pain

The Meditation on Developing Profound Empathy and Love

During this retreat, Kadam Morten will explain and guide us in the meditation known as developing cherishing love. In ordinary life, we often confuse love with desirous attachment, and as a result we often experience pain and disappointment within our so-called ‘loving’ relationships. But authentic love can never cause pain. It only ever produces happiness. Why? Because true love actually arises from a profound understanding of our interdependence and interconnection with everyone. This understanding liberates us from our painful self-centered grasping attachments, and opens us to an expansive and ever more inclusive empathy and love that brings joy, harmony and purpose into our lives.

Through talks and guided meditations, Kadam Morten will take us into the heart of this practice. There will be the opportunity for Q&A throughout the day.
