These personal stories, from couples of a range of different ages and experiences, illustrate how Buddhist principles can help couples navigate any stage of their relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt took the authors some good living and good loving before they realized that the love that they were seeking was already present and available in the depths of their hearts and mind. Love does not depend on anything that is happening \"Out There\" and is not dependent on anything \"he\" or \"she\" might do. It depends on our own willingness to look within and to act. This insight is a result of practicing the teachings of the Buddha on right diligence and right effort. The authors have been studying and practicing with Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and they are happy to report that the practices work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci garden the authors offer key practices such as three keyes excerpt for transformation of suffering and establishment happiness. these have helped them see each other happiness their own. they share stories illustrations from own life also those friends students.\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The practice is not difficult.
