To Be Nonjudgmental Means…

To be nonjudgmental means having flexibility of mind and the ability to let go of our attachment to what seems right to us.’

Then ask yourself,Can we allow the lives of others to be different from ours and feel happy for them?

Can we rejoice for them as their happiness grows, in whatever way that is happening?’

-Sharon Salzberg, Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness

How ‘To Achieve A Deep And Meaningful Bond

Basing our relationship on the qualities of affection, compassion, and mutual respect as human beings.

Basing a relationship on these qualities enables us to achieve a deep and meaningful bond not only with our lover or spouse but also with friends, acquaintances, or strangers- virtually any human beings.

It opens up unlimited possibilities and opportunities for connections.’
