“We all possess this open and tender heart-mind, and out of that comes love. Love doesn’t have to be dependent on other beings, it doesn’t have to be dependent on circumstances, we all have the innate capacity to love.
There’s any number of moments throughout our day where the world is asking us, would you like to be open-hearted here? We can either do that or not do that. We always have the choice.”
– Lodro Rinzler
What are the four main qualities of love? What can we do to cultivate an open heart and aware mind? What is heartbreak and how can we cope with it?
