2nd and 4th Friday of each month - A guided Loving-Kindness (Metta)
Meditation
|

On the 4th Friday, meditation will be followed by a Dharma discussion and noble
conversation from 1 pm - 2pm.
Taken from Buddhist tradition, Metta meditation cultivates our willingness to send
and receive loving-kindness. Guided phrases and imagery are used to open the heart
and mind - first to ourselves, and then to our loved ones, neutral ones, those we
consider difficult, and finally all beings.
