It is what you do with that gift that matters. I was offered such a gift by a wonderful friend, Hiroshi "Ted" Morodami. I am not a Buddist but do consider myself a proudly protesting Christian with Buddhist leanings.
A Simple Buddhist Guide to Romantic Happiness is what is offered in What is Love?. At the same time, this beautifully written guide offers wonderful insights into this powerful emotion. I enjoyed the quotes cited from ancient to modern writers alongside beautiful Buddhist writings. With his use of narrative tales, one learns and grows in love. Each of us struggles with our need to find love. In the search for fulfillent, Taro Gold offers wisdom and the beauty of the many faces of love following the Outer, Middle, and Inner Paths of Buddhism.
I highly recommend this lovely-worded book. One learns and grows. I appreciate Mr. Gold's words; he offers a wonderful way to look at love. And I want to thank him for reminding me of a great friendship and the quiet pleasure of the special gift that was offered to me. Learn of love as a healthy, happy emotion and the development of beautiful relationships through the self-awareness of Eastern Religion. | | |
