Universal Love

By Luang Phaw Dhammajayo

Universal love is a love for everyone. There is no lust or desire involved. With goodwill we wish for everyone to find happiness in body and mind and to attain the Dhammakaya. In order for us to discover universal love, we must see the world through the bright inner light of meditation, which will allow us to perceive the world as it truly is. Every living being will appear as its true self and we will realize that our lives and other lives are equal and worthy. If we find ourselves more fortunate than others, we will feel compelled to assist them. This is the power of universal love.

When we come to know about Dhammakaya, and are united with the Body of Dhamma, we will want to spread the knowledge to all of humankind without expectation of anything in return. We will want to see all of humankind attain the Body of Dhamma as we have. This desire completely differs in scope and feeling from the desires we feel when we do not know the Body of Dhamma. I would like to see everyone use these ideas and techniques to build happiness and understanding within your families.

Try to follow the good examples of the Inner Dreams Kindergarten Programme student who have introduced this meditation technique to their family members. They have noticed a change in their home environments, with delight replacing anxiety and happiness transforming from grief. Let their example teach us.
