Metta meditation | EN | Bhante Sujato

Metta meditation is the practice to develop the mind in such a way that this feeling of metta, this most exalted of human potentials, becomes a reality. And when this feeling starts to spark, which sages in the past has described as transcendence or divinity, than that is inside you! And it has been there all along − it is like coming home − and it it is there for everybody.

This talk is actually four different talks combined into one, each talk given in regards to the four people you spread metta to: metta for our self, mette for the loved person, metta for the neutral person and metta for the disliked person.

This teaching was given during a retreat at Venabu in October 2024:
