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.

    From the opposite side of the planet, the retreat's instructor Bhante Sujato came by plane to Oslo, and he was transported straight to the mountains to rest and overcome jet lag, before the retreat at Venabu started.
