We all think relationships are difficult, difficult to find, to keep and to enjoy. But the true heart of Zen practice says something different.  Zen points to the fact that we are in relationships continually,  and that everyone we meet is our teacher, in  what it really means to love. And our teacher  how to thoroughly appreciate this life we are living now. No matter what is going on.
Sadly, most of us suffer in relationships, reacting to what happens automatically, rather than responding from  the truth of who we truly are,  and what is really beneficial.  Zen practice provides a new, fresh perspective,  a new way of greeting each moment. When we bring this freshness into our relationships, we see that suffering is unnecessary.  Love is always just a breath away and that we have just been viewing things amiss,
