Love, attachment and creating healthy relationships

with Ven. Amy Miller

The key to creating more harmony on the planet is to create healthy relationships with all we encounter. It’s not always easy. How often in your relationships do you find yourself saying something you don’t mean, feel isolated, ignored or misunderstood, long for the perfect partnership, or take your loved one for granted? It doesn’t have to be this way.

“Love” and “attachment” are often confused, creating conflict in our relationships, particularly the most intimate ones. Is our “love” for someone unconditional and mostly focused on their happiness? Or is the love touched with our needs and expectations, how it reflects on us, etc.? 

If we can lessen attachment, grasping, and control and more fully appreciate all the goodness in our lives, experiences of genuine love and freedom organically arise.

Open to all levels of students.

Donation

Dāna (generosity) is one of the cornerstones of the Buddhist path. By virtue of their generosity, the Buddha and the ordained sangha offer us the teachings, and in exchange, the lay community supports Dharma centers and the monastic community. This interdependence is essential for us to share the Dharma and continue our work to benefit all sentient beings. With your donation we support our teachers in their cost of living and we uphold our dharma center, which is managed entirely by volunteers.

The suggested donation for this course is €30. For students and people with low income, the suggested donation is €20. Please send us an email if you'd like to make use of this option. Keep in mind that the donation amount should never be an obstacle to your access to the Dharma. Please contact us if it might be an obstacle for you.
