Teachings on Love

How Mindfulness Can Enhance Your Intimate Relationships

In the practice of mindfulness, your complete awareness in the moment opens the door to every possibility. On Teachings on Love, Thich Nhat Hanh explores how to shine the light of awareness into your intimate relationships.

The Buddha taught that authentic love must possess four basic qualities: maitri (lovingkindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (sympathetic joy), and upeksha (freedom). When we look deeply into ourselves and our loved ones, these qualities begin to bloom effortlessly.

Weaving together key Buddhist concepts and traditional stories, Thich Nhat Hanh offers detailed practices for fostering understanding and intimacy in any kind of relationship: between lovers, parents and children, and others. A modern classic for anyone who yearns for a deeper, more joyful love, which Thich Nhat Hanh calls a miracle.

Hearing is better than reading

it really adds a lot to hear him speak in his own voice instead of just reading the material.

To Love Is To Accept The Other Person As They Are

This one really warms the soul. Beautiful, funny, elegant, profound, simple, transformative. Thank you Thay.

Thich does it again!

Listening to Thich is just as impactful as reading his words. I've been wanting to get around to reading more of his material, and audible has allowed me to access more of his material. I love his messages of listening compassionately, and while I am still fairly new to his teachings, it's always great to come back and listen.

So beautiful

I’m thankful to be able to get this wisdom so I can be a better wife for my husband 🔆

His words and voice were very healing.

I recommend deeply listening to this alone at home with a box of tissues ready.

I felt a sense of release throughout this experience and loved the bell sound transitions. Life changing to say the least. It brought be a sense of peace but was grounding. It’s the type of book you’ll definitely feel a need to revisit from time to time. Thank you Thich Nhat Nanh 🙏🏻
