On the development of ethical alignment, inner safety, relaxing the vigilance of self-clinging and feeling like our life is complete even though we die.
This traditional element of the eleven benefits of metta is presented as a metaphor for the potential of unshakable equanimity and ease of the awakened mind.
After exploring the nature of Metta practice, we focus on how Metta practice increasingly helps us to meet each experience with our awakened hearts; develop in concentration, go through a kind of purification and integration of mind, heart and body; open to our heart's depth and bring our practice out into everyday life and the world.
This introduction to a Metta retreat presents the intention of practice (liberation and happiness), the techniques of practice, and the explanation for why these techniques work.
