Love and Compassion
Everybody needs to know how to become happy through love.
Loving-kindness is arguably the most important example we can show in our troubled world (and it’s not as hard as we may think!)
As Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says;
‘If everybody sincerely practices affectionate love, all problems between each other will be solved and never arise again. This is guaranteed; I will give my signature.’
Learn how do develop and experience these profoundly compassionate minds on this 4 week meditation course
Week 1: Developing affectionate love for all living beings
Buddha taught how to develop and maintain a warm heart and a feeling of being close to all living beings without exception. This affectionate love makes our mind pure and balanced, and prepares the foundation for generating cherishing love for all living beings.
Reference in Modern Buddhism: Training in Affectionate Love
Week 2: Training in cherishing love
When we train in equalising self and others we are learning to believe that the happiness and freedom of ourself and all other living beings are equally important. Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.

Week 3: Wishing the very best for everyone
By training in wishing love we will genuinely wish for all living beings to attain the pure and everlasting happiness of enlightenment and make a strong determination to work for this aim.

Week 4: Being truly compassionate
Universal compassion is a mind that sincerely wishes to liberate all living beings from suffering permanently. We can develop this mind spontaneously by training in special meditations taught by Buddha.
