Hi Shokai gassho1

It seems appropriate that this Love Gate follows the Enjoyment Gate. We like the idea of love-at-first-sight, but in reality, deep-rooted love grows stronger and blooms brighter the longer we invest quality time in something/someone we enjoy. It's born of deepening relationship and intimacy.

Just a thought

Gassho, Yokai (Chris) sat/lah

[Seikan]

This one seems to echo (at least in part) the 26th gate on Dharma conduct.

Embracing Dharma
Is Dharma
For love begets love

Gassho,
Seikan

Anything that puts light onto Dharma
Warms and lights the universe.

Gassho,
Nengei
Sat today. LAH.

Yokai;

Are you having a deepening relationship with the Dharma. If not, perhaps you should.
