GUIDED MEDITATION: Metta Loving Kindness to All and Everyone
Ajahn Dhammasiha is guiding a meditation on Loving Kindness. We're using the Mantra:In Gladness and in Safety, May All Beings be at EaseWe try to extend this attitude to all beings without exception, and into all directions without any spatial limitation, spreading throughout the universe.However, at the same time we're not neglecting to include ourselves as well. Each one of us ourself is worthy of and deserves total loving kindness, What we may have done or not done or whatever mistakes or shortcomings we may have is completely irrelevant. We fully qualify for unreserved loving kindness simply as a Living Being, nothing more required.We gradually go beyond merely repeating the words of the mantra, and instead give more and more attention to the emotion these words are building up in our heart: The beautiful, utterly wholesome, uplifting, joyful feeling of wishing well to everyone without exception.There's also a few suggestions after the bell how to continue mettā while walking meditation, and in daily life.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive.
