Wednesdays 7-8pm: The Healing Power of Love
@Unitarian Universalist: 1260 18th St.
Love gives meaning and purpose to our life. Some might say that love is the very essence of a life well-lived. Love is the great protector because it protects us from anger, attachment, jealousy, hatred, selfishness and it makes our mind happy, positive and peaceful.
We all need more love, and we can learn to generate this beautiful state of mind more and more frequently by relying upon Buddha’s timeless meditation techniques presented in the book Modern Buddhism.
Written by the Buddhist master and scholar Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, Modern Buddhism is available for everyone to download as a free e-book at this link: Modern Buddhism free e-book
