WHAT LOVE NEEDS TO SURVIVE
The Buddha said that nothing survives without food, including love. If you don’t know how to nourish and feed your love, it will die. If we know how to feed our love every day it will stay for a long time. One way we nourish our love is by being conscious of what we consume. Many of us think of our daily nourishment only in terms of what we eat. But in fact, there are four kinds of food that we consume every day.
>edible food (what we put in our mouths to nourish our bodies)
>sensory food (what we smell, hear, taste, feel, and touch)
>volition (the motivation and intention that fuels us)
>consciousness (this includes our individual consciousness, the collective consciousness, and our environment).
NOURISHING OUR LOVE WITH EDIBLE FOOD
The first source of nourishment is edible food. If we eat with moderation, eating only the food we need and eating the foods that help our bodies to be strong and healthy, then we’re showing love and respect for our bodies and for the Earth. If we don’t eat healthy foods and don’t treat our own bodies with respect, then how can we respect other people’s bodies and the body of the Earth itself?
SENSORY FOOD
The second source of nourishment is sensory impressions, what we consume with our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. When we read internet comments, we consume. When we watch a video, we consume.
>Whatever we consume affects our body and mind.
If we consume toxic comments, videos, music, podcasts, or games, they will feed our craving, our anger, and our fear. If we set aside time each day to be in a peaceful environment, to walk in nature, or even just to look at a flower or the sky, then that beauty will penetrate us and feed our love and our joy.
