This talk explores core questions of lovingkindness practice: What is "metta"? What is its relevance in our lives and our world? How does it function to transform our hearts and world? And how do we strengthen metta?
When we begin to see the arising and passing of thought as not me, not my, and not mine, there is room loosen the grip of grasping and aversion. We can begin to see thought truly as one of the six sense doors.
We expand or awareness of our interconnectedness as humans when we practice Metta for both the "Neutral Person" and the "Difficult Person". Sometimes the Difficult Person can be ourselves. The end of this Guided Practice offers a compassion practice for oneself.
