Love, attachment, and desire in Buddhism
<p>Attachment is all about me and what I can get from you, and love is all about what I can give or do for you. There are <a href="https://kadampalife.org/2016/10/22/love-and-affection-according-to-buddhism/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">three kinds or levels of love</a>, affectionate love, cherishing love, and wishing love. Briefly, <em>affectionate love</em>is just liking people, having a warm, fuzzy feeling, the way our mom feels when she hasn’t seen us for awhile, just unconditionally delighted to see us without that needy, “I want YOU to do something for ME.” On the basis of affection, if we think about how kind someone is, we come to <em>cherish</em> them — we find them special, we want to take care of them, their happiness matters. So because we cherish this person, our question is “Are they happy?” The answer is usually, “Well, they could be a lot happier,” and we wish for them to have what they need, what they want, to be happy now and always. This is <em>wishing love</em>.</p>
