Description:

It was Thanksgiving Day in Plum Village on November 25, 2004. The sangha gathered in Lower Hamlet, Plum Village during the Fall Retreat and Thay gave a 45-minute dharma talk on the topic of love and happiness. In the Buddhist teaching of love, there are four elements. The first is maitri – friendship, brotherhood, loving-kindness. And the second is karuna – capacity to understand the suffering and help remove and transform it – compassion. Mudita is the third element – joy – your joy is her joy, her joy is our joy. The last element is upeksha – nondiscrimination. This is a higher form of love. The four qualities have no limits – infinite love – these elements arelso called the Four Unlimited Minds. The bodhisattva of love is in you. Author - Thich Nhat Hanh. Narrator - Thich Nhat Hanh. Published Date - Thursday, 19 January 2023. Copyright - © 2017 Thich Nhat Hanh ©.
