The first stage of metta
Tonight Matthew Berrigan will explore his experience of the first stage, cultivating friendliness towards ourselves. The Buddha said we could search the whole universe and not find anyone more deserving of loving kindness than ourselves. How then, is it so hard for us to treat ourselves with kindness and compassion? Matthew will explore this dilemma as well as provide tips and techniques for making it easier to treat ourselves as our own good friend.
In this series we will:
- discuss what metta is
- explore different ways to open our hearts to cultivate positive emotion
- look at the role of body awareness, imagination and loving-kindness as way of being
- explore our own experience with developing friendliness in our lives and the effect this has had on our well-being and those who come into contact with us
Wednesday nights are a place for people who have attended our foundation courses to come together and celebrate community as well as an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the Buddha's teaching.
