Hosted by Joanie Lane at A Positive Light - Reserve Your Space
Lovingkindness, or metta, is sometimes depicted as a simple “open your heart and love everybody” practice, but a closer look at the Buddha’s teachings reveals a more complex and nuanced picture. In a time of great conflict and contention in our society, it can be extremely valuable to see how the Buddha addressed these relevant topics:
  • The challenges of living with other people;
  • The risk of hating anyone, even your enemies;
  • And the dangers inherent to conventional loving relationships.

The Buddha’s teachings on lovingkindness emphasize the importance of sila, or ethical behavior, the potential for opening into deeper meditative states of peace and equanimity, and the importance of developing a non-discriminating, unconditional love on the path of awakening.

Learn to navigate your life with clarity and joy in this experiential daylong, open to all seeking tools to live with a wise and open heart with the goal of finding cultural unity. 

A practice focused day, with instruction on mindfulness and lovingkindness meditation, lecture, interactive exercises, and Q&A.

All participants are invited to wear comfortable clothing and to bring a lunch. Water and tea will be provided.
