Dharmabytes: The Great Love

By Centre Team on Mon, 13 Nov, 2023 - 11:00

Our teacher Sangharakshita has said: “It is in friendship (maitri) that we may find the emotional equivalent of the intellectual understanding of the doctrine of ‘no self’”. The gift of these teachings can help us move beyond self-clinging into a deeper and far more mysterious connection with one another; a Greater Love.

From the talk Spiritual Friendship and the Heart’s Release by Maitreyi given at Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2018.
