About this episode

This episode explores the concept of self-love from a Mahayana Buddhist perspective, questioning the nature of the 'self' we seek to love.

What is “self-love”? In contemporary psychology and self-help, self-love is often framed as self-acceptance, self-worth, and meeting our emotional needs with care. These approaches can be deeply supportive—but they may also rest on a limited view of the “self” they are trying to love. In this episode of Prajna Sparks , we explore a broader, more nuanced perspective drawn from the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Rather than asking only how to love ourselves, we begin by asking: What is this “self” we are loving?
