Love Without Pain

Love does not have to be painful. Often it can seem that the very people we are trying to love are the ones standing in the way of our happiness! Those we love can test us, try our patience and fail to meet our wishes and expectations. How are we to maintain our love for others amidst the everyday challenges that pop up in all of our relationships?

Refuge: Finding Lasting Protection
By going for refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, we enter Buddhism and start to establish a sanctuary of refuge from suffering in our heart. Through this regular practice, we gradually become permanently protected from suffering by establishing irreversible Dharma realizations of wisdom and compassion in our mind.
Going for refuge is one of the four great preliminary guide retreats in which we gain precious experience of this practice, building the faith and confidence we need to conquer our ordinary fears and delusions and make swift progress on the path to enlightenment.
