True Love and Buddhism

UNIVERSE

Le 4 caratteristiche del vero Amore secondo il buddhismo.

If you cannot transform and take care of the suffering in you and in the other person, that is not true love.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

The Four Elements of True Love

Question: If Buddhism supports love for Mother Nature, why doesn’t it also support romantic love between two people and demonstrations of affection between two people?

Thay’s Response: The Buddha is a teacher of love. True love. Love for Mother Earth should be true love, and if it is true love, it can bring a lot of happiness to you and Mother Earth. Romantic love, if it is true love, can also bring a lot of happiness. But if it is not true love, it will make you suffer and make the other person suffer as well.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O sentimento faz a gente ser diferente; diferente das outras espécies. O sentimento nos humaniza, através de nossas atitudes. Ele se mostra inteiro, se permite, deixa escapar o que é bom, o que prevalece em nossa grandeza. Não tem como esconder sentimento, ele não aceita disfarces, maquiagens, não cresce diante da desilusão. Defronte da fantasia, ele impõe limites e, por fim, grita, fazendo-se conhecido por meio de sua própria essência.

Comforting Thought: Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

Content Catnip


You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miled through the desert, repenting,

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes,

over the prairies and deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clear blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

Mary Oliver

I Am Woman, Hear Me Rant!

Filosofa's Word

When the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787, women did not have the right to vote, they did not have the right to divorce their husband, and they did not have the right to own property.  We now have all three of those rights and more, but they were hard-earned, fought for over the course of centuries!  It was more than a century after the Constitution was ratified before women finally began getting the right to vote in some states (from 1890-1919), but 21 states only granted women the right to vote after passage of the 19th amendment in 1920.

I could go on and on about the uphill battle women have had to fight for the past two-and-a-half centuries, and how today the courts are chipping furiously away at our rights with the overturning of Roe v Wade and strict abortion bans being put into effect in many…
