In this seventh booklet in the Lazy Lama series, Ringu Tulku looks at how we all need love and asks us to consider the benefits of generating loving kindness for each other. Rinpoche shares with us an Indian saying; �'When the trees support each other then we have houses and cities, when human beings support each other we have society, we have civilization.'
So, the whole of society, of civilization, survives by supporting and helping each other. But how can we, as imperfect human beings, offer even an �imperfect� love, and is that enough? Yes, says Rinpoche, we can and should start from where we are. We can offer loving kindness, help and support for each other now, while aspiring towards an ideal unconditional love. Rinpoche encourages us, in these seemingly simple and concise teachings, to develop the courage of a hero dedicated to love, and to find our true brave heart.
