I felt depressed the first time I learned what Buddhists thought about romantic relationships.


No joke — it felt like a punch in the face

However, when I learned more about Buddhism and love, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. There is an actual solution.

Buddhism doesn’t care so much about the personal matters of our lives (like marriage, jobs and the role we play in society). Unlike other religions which often preach a strict doctrine of right and wrong, Buddhism supplies us with guidelines to assist us with those personal matters.

Buddhism explains the facts of life, suffering, and the nature of our minds. It then advises us to question the validity of what we’ve been led to believe based on how we were raised and educated. Where we find truthfulness in our personal belief system, Buddhism offers us teachings that help us deal with the suffering that comes with the territory of being human.

There is nothing that speaks about relationships and their ensuing challenges in the Sutras of Buddhism. The Buddha didn’t really care about who we fall in love with; he was more concerned about how we can eradicate life’s suffering. However, Buddhism isn’t against the notion of romantic relationships.

But, Buddhists do consider romantic coupling to be another possible source of suffering in our lives. It’s not really the relationship or the other person that inflict pain on us, rather the many mixed emotions that are associated with the relationship.

Buddhists in the present day are weaving Buddhist notions into romantic love to make it easier for us — the people who are in relationships — to lessen the conjoined suffering that comes from being with a partner.

During an interview with Thich Nhat Hanh, he was asked, “If one of the bases of the Buddhist religion is love for Mother Nature, why isn’t this also equally true of romantic love between two people?”

Thich Nhat Hanh gave a beautiful answer that is truly of benefit for every person who is romantically involved. He states that Buddha is a teacher of true love and true love can bring a lot of happiness. According to Hanh, if a romantic relationship.
