The Buddha teaches detachment – Christ teaches love. Who should we listen to? Can we reconcile these two teachings? What do love and detachment even mean?

These questions lead us into the heart of the Buddhist and the Christian tradition. Indeed, they lead us back into our own hearts. Even, if you will, into the heart of God.

In this video, we explore the types of love (sadism, narcissism, personal love, true love, and detachment) and how they reveal themselves in Christian and Buddhist scripture. Our discussion takes us to questions about the nature of the self, the problem of evil and suffering, and the parallels between Christianity and Buddhism.
