Buddha's Guide to a Healthy Life

In his teaching on the three trainings, Buddha presented a comprehensive program for a healthy, happy, and meaningful life. Kindness. Concentration. Wisdom. If we take the time to practice and perfect these three special methods of relating to the world (and to ourselves), we will tap into our true potential. In this series, Paige will present us with Buddha's special recipe for happiness and health.

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.
