Show Notes

What is the nature of hatred and how is it related to love? What about non-hatred, is it the same as love? Love and hate abide together in the ambivalence of close relationships. Why do we hold them as opposites? Why does hate become a recurring problem in our relationships, from the family to the larger society? In this podcast, we will explore the nature of hate as an attitude or intention – not a feeling – of indifference and animosity towards others. We will also explore the famous teaching of the Buddha that “hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is an eternal law.” How can we understand this teaching?
