John Welwood, The Practice of Love, (lionsroar)

I liked this article a lot.
it is not presumptuous and leads directly to inner truth,
even you can remove psychotherapy references and buddhist terms
- it is not on a system but walking a way.
And it means i can be who i am and the other and others can be-
as long as i can remain open and let the mud settle.
Also it explains easily my way of trying to go to "tvat tvam asi",
to go into inter-being with persons in which i dislike something
which disturbs my clear view and my soul : i have to sort it out in my self.
to see through dirt and badness and fear : the buddha child, a term i can use.
quotes:
"Heart, then, is a direct presence that allows a complete attunement with reality. In this sense, it has nothing to do with sentimentality. Heart is the capacity to touch and be touched, to reach out and let in."
"Since we are all embryonic buddhas, why would anyone want to hate themselves?"

quote:
-At the moment of his awakening at the foot of the bodhi tree, the Buddha declared, “How strange—all beings possess the capacity to be awakened, to understand, to love, to be free—yet they allow themselves to be carried away on the ocean of suffering.” -
....
-If you have a difficult relationship, and you want to make peace with the other person, you have to go home to yourself. You have to go home to your garden and cultivate the flowers of peace, compassion, understanding, and joy. Only after that can you come to your partner and be patient and compassionate.-

...
-When you can see your partner as not separate from you, not better or worse or even equal to you, then you have the wisdom of nondiscrimination. We see the happiness of others as our happiness. Their suffering is our suffering.
Look into your hand. The fingers are like five brothers and sisters from the same family. Suppose we are a family of five. If you remember that if one person suffers, you all suffer, you have the wisdom of nondiscrimination. If the other person is happy, you are also happy. Happiness is not an individual matter.-
