Love Without Pain: A Meditation Retreat for Everyone
Saturday, February 27, 10am-1pm

Registration coming soon
“Pure unconditional love never causes any pain or worry but only peace and joy.” - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life
Does it ever feel like love hurts? We need to remember that at the moment our love for others is almost invariably mixed with attachment, which is a self-centered mind. It is sometimes very difficult to distinguish between our love and our attachment for others, but, when we are able to do so, we will see that it is invariably the attachment that is the cause of our suffering. Attachment and love are easily confused, but it is vital to discriminate between them, for love will bring us only happiness whereas the mind of attachment will bring us only suffering.
This meditation retreat will focus on love without attachment, which can lead us to an experience of love without pain. Suitable for all levels of experience.
