A Zen Buddhist Take on Love — Ryushin Paul Haller — Dharma Talk at City Center

This talk was given by senior dharma teacher Ryushin Paul Haller at Beginner’s Mind Temple in San Francisco. Ryushin reflects on the meaning of love through both Buddhist wisdom and Greek philosophy. From agape to eros, friendship to family, the teacher explores how renunciation—the art of letting go—can open our hearts to deeper compassion, joy, and freedom. Drawing on insight, Zen and poetry, it reveals how releasing clinging allows love to flourish with courage and equanimity. Recorded on Saturday, February 15, 2025.
