The Thai Buddhist Meditation Center in Tokyo, Japan, arranged a meditation class and taught dharma to locals on Sunday May 28, 2017. The teaching monk taught dharma in Japanese on the topic of “The Secret of Love.”
The teaching monk let the participants meditate to relax for 30 minutes.
After that, the teaching monk described the characteristics of those who are in love by referring to the brainwave scanning studies. They found that there is Dopamine hormone secretion in the bodies. This hormone makes them feel happy to love and it affects their appearances – those who are in love look younger and their complexion is radiant; they look happy.
On the other hand, the teaching monk explained the symptom of being broken-hearted and depressed and its harm. To keep good relationship with their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses, they have to beware of four things which are:
1) mutually depend on each other
2) not expect the other to be a perfectionist
3) speak only pleasant words
4) apologize if they did something wrong
Even though there are the ways to keep their love last, they should determine and realize that everything in the world has 3 common conditions – the initial stage (how it happens or was born), the existence stage (how it exists or survives) and the final stage (how it breaks down or dies).
After the dharma lecture, everyone went home happy with the meditation experience and new knowledge that they gained from the teaching monk.
