[Buddha-l] Being in Love

[[DPD Web] Shen Shi'an]

"...true love between two would nourish each other to change - to grow
spiritually from strength to strength [towards Nirvana, directly or
indirectly]. If not, the love would be [wholly] worldly. Not aiding each
other to advance towards enlightenment, such a union would only be a
match made in Samsara, for Samsara."

Call me a romantic, but romantic love is not so bad an option... as long
as it grows beyond its limiting self. Come to think of it, there's
really nothing more romantic than eventually renouncing worldly love of
one out of spiritual love for all. (The Buddha did just that.)
