“Buddhism teaches that just like all of our other qualities, the love we possess is boundless…rather than view this as a limited resource to be shared sparingly, authentic love powers our commitment to support others and enable us to grow ever more human in the process.”

 

On the final evening of the Contemplative Care retreat, Chodo Sensei shares poignant vignettes on love from his own life experiences. His honest and intimate storytelling offers a rare glimpse of what compassion and wisdom can look like in caring relationships. As if this were not enough, Chodo concludes his talk by describing a moving moment from one of his favorite shows and treats his audience with a heart-opening song.
