SUMMARY:The Way of Metta: The Radical Power of Kindness
DESCRIPTION:“The way of metta is not only a path of ever-increasing positive emotion leading to Enlightenment. It is a guide to recovering our basic human inheritance of joy” – Sangharakshita \nThe Buddha is renowned as the embodiment of wisdom and love. He also represents the fullest flowering of human potential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn this course they’ll be studying the Buddha’s words on metta – loving-kindness – and how they point out a path to realise this potential. They’ll be putting his teachings into practice starting with identifying more skillful ways of living; cultivating a vigorous imaginative identification with others; and freeing the mind through the development of wisdom. \nThe course will include an introduction to the metta-bhavana (development of loving-kindness meditation) and is suitable for newcomers as well as people who wish to intensify their practice and glean new insights. \nThe course is based upon Sangharakshita’s book Living With Kindness and you will be provided with a copy of the book as part of the course. You will receive the book on the first night of the course. \n  \nOver the five weeks they will cover:\n\nWeek 1: The way of metta and the first stage of metta-bhavana – metta for oneself.\nWeek 2: The ethical foundations of metta and the second stage of metta-bhavana – metta for a friend.\nWeek 3: Cultivating metta and the third stage of metta-bhavana – metta for a neutral person.\nWeek 4: The culmination of metta and the fourth stage of metta-bhavana – metta for an enemy.\nWeek 5: The realization of metta and the fifth stage of metta-bhavana – metta equalized and limitless.\n\n  \nSuitable for:  \n\nAnyone interested in discovering the transformative and radical power of Kindness as taugh by the Buddha.\nMeditators with some experience who want to refresh their metta practice.\nComplete beginners who want to learn about the Buddha’s teaching on metta/loving kindness and the Metta Bhavana meditation practice.
