To Be Love is Divine.

What is the nature of true love?

Is it that essence of unconditionality; that willingness to accept beyond all faults and foibles? The capacity to offer joy as the means for transformation?

Or, is it the ability to reconcile individual ‘needs’ versus those of another? Or, a compassion which embraces the full heart of a bodhisattva warrior?

Loving-kindness, compassion, equanimity and joy are characteristics of love encouraged within the Buddhist tradition, but – they are not uniquely Buddhist. They are common to nature of all human hearts. Each of us is born into the true nature of unconditional love.

It’s the fundamental essence of who we are, and – it represents the foundation of our spiritual practice.

To love is divine, my darlings – this is true. But, more so – it represents a return to the divine aspect of all human beings.

That is to say: we are, by nature, one of the truest reflections of unconditional love.

To love, is wondrous. To be love, divine.
