“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
The Buddha is renowned as the embodiment of wisdom and love. He also represents the fullest flowering of human potential.
On this course we’ll be studying the Buddha’s words on metta – loving-kindness – and how they point out a path to realise this potential. We’ll be putting his teachings into practice starting with identifying more skillful ways of living; cultivating a vigorous imaginative identification with others; and freeing our mind through the development of wisdom.
The 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.
The course is based upon Sangharakshita’s book Living With Kindness. To do the course, you will need to have a copy of the book, which you can purchase from the Centre when booking or directly from Windhorse Publications in eBook format and in printed format.
We suggest a €125 total donation (including booking fee) for this course, but you can give as much or as little as you want.
