Lovingkindness meditation

Post by kirtu »



An interesting if somewhat unorthodox lovingkindness guided meditation by Ajahn Brahm. It's worth noting that Ajahn Brahm is considered by many to be an exemplary teacher.

Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
