Introduction to the series

When people think of cultivating positive mental states, they often think of mindfulness or other forms of mental concentration. Developing friendliness towards ourselves and others, however, is as essential to developing our minds as other more traditional forms of focus.

Tonight Padmapushpa will talk about the purpose of this practice and what metta is.

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.
