NoHo Buddhist Meditation Class

February is for lovers. Actually, so is every other month, day, and moment. When we identify ourselves as lovers—in love with the world and everyone in it—we can feel that this moment, whatever it brings, is for us. Wherever we find ourselves, in whatever circumstances, is just as it should be. No problem.

So how do we bring this about? For starters, we need to look for love in the only place it can truly be found: in our own heart and mind (basically, as Buddha taught, these places are one and the same.) Nurturing love in our heart heals our relationship with ourself, our family and friends, and our world, and our life. This may sound idealistic but, in truth, it’s very practical. Buddha taught special methods whereby we learn to tune into our own capacity for love, to nurture it and expand it, opening it to more and more people, and, ultimately, to all living beings.

In this series, we’ll engage in a series of meditations on love and explore how we can practically apply them to solving our various problems and creating more joy and meaning in our lives.
