THE METTA SUTTA: THE BUDDHA’S TEACHINGS ON LOVINGKINDNESS WITH DIANA CLARK
SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 9:30AM TO 3:30PM Lovingkindness or metta is one of the central practices taught by the Buddha taught in his Discourse on Lovingkindness (the Metta Sutta), a beautiful poem often chanted. In this day we will study these verses, be introduced to the chant, and learn how loving-kindness is related to insight and concentration meditation. Please join us for a day of lecture, discussion and loving-kindness meditation as we also consider how these teachings can be applied to meditation practice and to our lives.
