The book, The Four Noble Truths of Love, explores the application of Buddhist principles to romantic relationships. Author Susan Piver, a Western Buddhist teacher and wife, draws upon her personal experiences and the ancient teachings of Buddhism to offer a new perspective on love, suggesting that true intimacy involves embracing the inherent instability of relationships. The book explores the concept of “meeting the instability together” as a foundation of love, challenging traditional Western ideas about achieving lasting happiness in relationships. Through meditations, reflections, and stories, Piver explores the potential for love to serve as a path to liberation, urging readers to cultivate greater awareness, compassion, and acceptance in their relationships.
