The Buddha on toxic relationships

How did your anger begin? - You damn well know what you did to me as a kid, you monster!

(Zen Panda) "Zen" Secrets: Why people are attracted and fall in love (two powerful truths)

Clear the mind with Zen meditation.

(Zen Panda) Why do people really fall in love? Is it fate, beauty, or something deeper? This fanciful Zen wisdom story reveals the hidden truth behind human attraction. A wise wanderer teaches that love is not given — but reflected. When someone loves us, do they see themselves in us, or are they seeking what they lack? Understanding this distinction can transform how we experience love. Stop chasing it — because if we become whole, love will find us. 🌊🔥✨ Watch to discover the two powerful truths that change the way we see love forever. #ZenWisdom #love #spirituality #BuddhistTeachings #mindfulness #ZenStories #InnerPeace
