Laughing Lotus and Maitreya Kadampa Buddhist Center will co-host a Modern Buddhism workshop, Love Without Pain: The Buddhist Way to Happiness in All Relationships, from noon to 2 p.m. on February 7. Led by Kadam Carol Lutker, the session explores the vital distinction between authentic love and attachment, teaching participants how to transform every interaction into a source of joy.

Through guided meditation and practical discussion, attendees will learn to cultivate “cherishing love”, a practice that brings lasting peace to ourselves and others. By shifting our internal perspective, it is possible to make all relationships beneficial and transform our daily lives. Everyone is welcome, and no prior meditation experience is necessary.
