Summary

Spring is in full bloom and love in the air. So let's look back at this Dharma Talk from February of 2019, right around Valentine’s Day. Is there only one love, or are there many kinds? Although the word “love” rarely appears in Buddhist scriptures, Reverend WonGong So reflects on the concept of Maitri and how it applies to the Western understanding of the word. True love, she suggests, exists in the selflessness of "no-self." This perspective goes far beyond romantic love, offering a deeper understanding of what it truly means to love unconditionally.
