Forms of Love In Buddhism | Ajahn Brahm | 26-11-2010

Ajahn Brahm examines the place of love, lust, desire and affection in Buddhism. Ajahn asks; Is love an attachment? Is love something beautiful? Is love going to get you into trouble? What actually is the place of love in Buddhism? What is spiritual about your love in a relationship? Ajahn also looks at how you can make use of your understanding of the love you feel in a marriage or relationship.

I needed this. I am getting married in 3 months. I have never worried so much in my life, never been more scared of messing up. Ajahn Brahm, you put it beautifully. I love this man. I love him for all he is and for all he’s done for me. My fears have turned into anger, control and indecisiveness. I feel joy and love again. ❤️ I will remember this for my vows.

Something else popped into my mind when Ajahn talked about the 'us' of marriage.... if we look at greater and greater circles of us it will be better all round. For example, if we think of the us of family, and us of our work mates, the us of the club we belong to, or the us of the city we live in... on to the us of the world we live in, we will be more aware of how to 'be' better in the world by being better for the world.

Thank you so much for this Ajahn Brahm. Your talk has come to me at the most precise moment in my life. I have a very strained relationship with my parents because I am not living up to their standards. My hope is that they will take the time to view it as well and learn to let go of the pain we've been putting each other through. Metta.

Thank you for once again sharing your wisdom with those of us unable to visit in person. This talk couldn't have come at a better time for me, I really needed to hear the things said here.

Nandivisala !!! I remember listening to this almost six years ago!

[dechengyalmo]

That really touched my heart, thank you very much! Much love

I was really trustring someone that I loved until the day we talked about trust. He told me I was wrong to trust people because his father taught him not to trust anyone in this life. He said we were always going to mistrust each other. I left confused and decided to end that relationship because from that day I began to mistrust him. He thought I was stupid for trusting him. How to cope with this? How to love someone who despises you for trusting him? It was painful like hell. I´ve been trying to understand this event for months. Can someone say something please?

[sker]

Thank you so much. You have made a difference just at a time I really needed it

Oooo. Always love your flowers. This week it's some proteas. Wonder if they are from South Africa or do you now grow proteas in Oz?
Ps. AB always makes such great points with a great sense of humour.... "we have equity in this society" (referring to women and men getting involved outside their primary relationship). ;)
