Lovely Love : หน้า 35/62 Exploring the nature of life and love through the lens of Dhamma, this text presents reflections, real-life examples, and the pursuit of inner joy.
What is Life?
What is life?
A fantasy lived half asleep
Which disappears at dawn,
Or time we borrow but cannot keep
Soon to be repaid with interest?
Life so far has been merely a reflection upon water
Dissolving into fragments and then nothingness.
Why bind ourselves
To that which we cannot alter?
The only rock amongst the confusion
Is created by a mind infused with purity
Whose eye sees with clarity
Whose perception reaches to the center
Where only joy and peacefulness may enter.
Then life is finally lived as it should be,
Filled with light until infinity.
Luang Phaw Dhammajayo
A Fair Way to Love
As you now grasp the concept of preserving love and
uplifting the high-spirited love to the elevated level of
inner love, called Lovely Love, I shall introduce you
to some real-life examples of our fellow friends. By
fine tuning their concept of love to the Dhamma- and
importing the knowledge into everyday practice,
these individuals have attained 'the fair way to love'.
The following pages contain a series of accounts of
individuals who are on their journeys of attaining
Lovely Love: married couples whose walls of cultural
and religious differences melted away upon the
warmth of the Dhamma being applied at home; an
expatriate housewife whose ecstatic enlightenment
on inner love by the power of deep meditative
tranquility rooted out her agony of possessive
affection and sowed the seed of a life-long
relationship; a self-indulgent wife who woke up to
realize the meaning of her life through a cognitive
meditation voyage which catalyzed a makeover of her
marriage and for a harmonious family, and a
disappointed love-seeker whose spiritual rebirth into
the life in the realm of truth, completed her quest
with lasting delight from the acquired wisdom of
inner love. Hopefully, these inspirational real-life
accounts will become an example to others in their
pursuit for endless love in their lives.
