Buddhism for you -- Love 19

Buddhism teaches that the altruistic way of life glows with the flame of wisdom.
The bodhisattva way is to let wisdom put knowledge to use and to couple compassion with compassionate action.

Human life is not a sad affair.
In all things use your intellect and power of reason.
Let your life be imbued with feelings that are based on pure love.--Josei Toda

******
The love between husband and wife becomes more mature when the initial passion is elevated through wisdom to encompass spiritual love and humanistic compassion.
By so doing, the couple is able to walk along the tree-lined avenue of life hand in hand, enjoying the soft breeze of happiness.

******
By expanding their love from the personal to the universal level, women can become a great force against war and for peace.

Buddhism for you -- Love 18

Having good friends is like being equipped with a powerful auxiliary engine.
When we encounter a steep hill or an obstacle, we can encourage one another and find the strength to keep pressing forward vigorously.

******
A shallow person will have only shallow relationships.
Real love is not one person clinging to another; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality.

******
Let those who love what is right join hands, and let us have but one banner--the banner of action and virtue.--Leo Tolstoy

Buddhism for you -- Love 17

Even if someone is close by, their heart may be distant.
But if someone is far away, if there is a heart-to-heart bond, they could not be closer.
The heart is what counts.
In the world of the heart, there is no separation.

******
Children are messengers from the future.
We have no choice but to entrust the world to our children.
I trust children; I believe in their in their to grow and develop.
Every child possesses a unique mission.
For this reason, I treat children with respect, and I give my all in doing so.

Buddhism for you -- Love 16

In life we will encounter separations of inexpressible sadness.
However, those who overcome such grief and continue to live with strength and courage will be cherished and respected by their juniors as kings and queens of life.

******
I wish to protect and encourage all parents and children, and I will do whatever I can for their sake.
To protect life itself; it is to nurture peace and protect the future.
