Living in the Love beyond Beliefs

An Interspiritual-Interfaith Work of Arem-Nahariim-Samadhi

All is welcome here...

Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.

*The Buddha. Discourse on Lovingkindness.

"We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain."

METTA

Compassion, Lovingkindness, Faithful Love

*

This physical existence remains the truest practice. The greatest path is this moment. The most powerful action is non-action, or staying in this body this moment, here, rather than escaping to some idea of spirituality, or anything else.

*Mark Stephens

More fundamental than religion is our basic human spirituality. We have a basic human disposition towards love, kindness and affection, irrespective of whether we have a religious framework or not. When we nurture this most basic human resource – when we set about cultivating those basic inner values which we all appreciate in others, then we start to live spiritually.
