The 3 aspects of Love
Heart Jewel Centre, Matlock Bath
Tuesdays 11, 18, 25 August at 7.00pm - 8.15pm
About the course:
Love is the great protector, protecting us from anger and jealousy. It never gives rise to problems but only to peace and happiness for both ourself and others.
Join us at Heart Jewel Centre on Tuesday evenings in August, meditating each week on one of the 3 aspects of love:
Week 1: Affectionate love
Week 2: Cherishing love
Week 3: Wishing love
“In general, there are three types of love: affectionate love, cherishing love and wishing love. Affectionate love is a mind unmixed with desirous attachment that sees another person as pleasant, likeable or beautiful. For example, when a mother looks at her children she feels great affection for them and perceives them to be beautiful, no matter how they appear to other people. Because of her affectionate love she naturally feels them to be precious and important; this feeling is cherishing love. Because she cherishes her children she sincerely wishes for them to be happy; this wish is wishing love. Wishing love arises from cherishing love, which in turn arises from affectionate love. We need to develop these three types of love towards all living beings without exception.”
