We Are All Connected
Healing our self, family
and world through love
We often perceive ourselves as isolated individuals, and experience loneliness and strong yearnings for a connection with others. According to Buddha, this perception of ourself as isolated from others is an illusion. In truth we are all naturally and profoundly interconnected. This experience of interconnection reduces our feelings of separation, allowing an authentic love for others to arise. In this course we will be guided through a sequence of profound meditations that have the power to revolutionize our outlook on life, and heal our relationships with ourself, family and everyone. We will lay the foundation for the actual experience for universal love, the key to solving the problems in our world.

March 15 The Heart of Love
Healing the Heart through Love
Through practicing love, as taught by Buddha, we go on a journey. The mind of authentic love naturally moves us away from our painful and excessive self-involvement towards an open and wonderful connection with others and with our world. In this series we will undertake that journey through the special sequence of meditations known as exchanging self with others. Training in these meditations on love will help us to let go of our own inner dissatisfactions and will heal our relationships, both with ourselves and others. Gradually we will discover within our own hearts a limitless capacity to love. We will recognize that we can experience the joyful and harmonious mind of love all the time in all our relationships. Consequently our own hearts are healed and our life becomes one of great benefit to others and to our world.
