The Truth of Love

Only the heart endures

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

There is no love that is protected by lust,

Even the sexiest woman is

disgusted at some point....

There is no love that is protected by appearance,

Even if the most beautiful woman in the world is possessed,

That is why men leave...

There is no love that is based on lies,

Because lies are exposed at some point....

There is no love that can be held by money,

Because the delicate touches of love are felt only by the heart....

Love is and will be only near a loving heart...

Only where the self is set aside,

And everything is sacrificed for the happiness of others...

That is why Yashodhara was blessed to embrace the Buddha's feet that no one can touch,

And to cry as much as she could...

Throughout a lifetime,

In the name of love,

Come like the shadow of the Bodhisattva and

define love Because...

Yes, because I was happy to give up.
