“Through watering the ground of affectionate love with cherishing love,
And then sowing the seeds of wishing love and compassion,
The medicinal tree of bodhichitta will grow.” - Je Tsongkhapa, quoted in Modern Buddhism
Love is the real source of happiness, but we need to train our mind to make our love pure and unconditional. We also need to understand that it is not being loved, but loving others that has the power to make us happy.
These classes will teach us how to practice the three aspects of love. Building on this stable foundation, we will develop a fearless compassion, and the confidence to know that enlightenment is possible. Recommended reading: Modern Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
