How to Love (Mindfulness Essentials, #3)

“In a deep relationship, there’s no longer a boundary between you and the other person. You are her and she is you. Your suffering is her suffering. Your understanding of your own suffering helps your loved one to suffer less. Suffering and happiness are no longer individual matters. What happens to your loved one happens to you. What happens to you happens to your loved one.” Simple, affirming, and inspirational from beginning to end.

This book is short, simple, and full of ideas that anyone could figure out or express, expressed in ways that anyone could have. Yet there is a depth, sincerity, and profundity to these mundane suggestions and thoughts that show why Hanh is such a revered teacher.

I am definitely going to keep this book ready to hand, and I will certainly revisit it.
