True love and happiness are always within our reach, as long as we are willing to cultivate awareness and compassion.
Coming Home to Each Other offers profound lessons for letting go of the craving, complexes, and wrong views that keep us from true love, understanding, and acceptance. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us how to be together with our partner(s) in freedom and love through the concrete practices of gratitude, deep looking, and compassionate listening. Amidst daily life’s responsibilities and difficulties, we can take refuge in each other, coming to understand the deep nature of our connection and the great gift of true presence.
True Love can be our greatest joy, but we should be careful not to confuse love with desire. If our love doesn’t make us happy, if it includes the energies of craving and attachment, if it causes us or someone else to suffer, it’s not love; it’s something else. Through insightful commentary on the Sutra on the Net of Sensual Love, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practical, concrete guidance on how not to be caught by desire, how to understand ourselves and connect with our own deepest aspiration in order to generate nourishing and healthy intimate relationships.
