The 4 Elements of True Love
This talk details teachings on true love and mindfulness from Plum Village Dharma teachers during a retreat titled Practice from the Heart in 2010. True love involves maitri (loving-kindness) and karuna (compassion), requiring mindful presence, understanding, and alleviating suffering. Practicing mindfulness, loving speech, and deep listening nurtures qualities like freshness, stability, calmness, and freedom, fostering deeper connections and reconciliation in relationships. True love transcends boundaries, embracing all beings regardless of differences, embodying non-discrimination and inclusiveness. Practicing these teachings expands one’s capacity to love and alleviates suffering within oneself and others.
