Our relationships with others – whether between couples, within a family, or even amongst friends and colleagues – can have a huge impact on our happiness. Through meditation we can find ways of relating to others that make them rewarding and harmonious, and we can break out of mental habit patterns that can sabotage them.
Buddha challenges us to explore what it means to love. His teaching and meditations on developing love are scientific methods we can verify through our own experience by putting them into practice.
In this series we will explore what it means to Love from a Buddhist perspective and experience the benefit of these teachings and meditations quickly. Be prepared to live, laugh and love unconditionally for the rest of your life.
