DTCM Metta Bhavana

This week we will explore the metta bhavana.  Bodhipaksa describes a framework for experimentation and ways to work with our emotions.  Bringing awareness to our emotions, cultivating loving kindness can have amazing effects for us and our relationships with others.

We will read about:

• what metta is
• what metta is not
• emotion as a river
• emotions and our environment
• emotions and our bodies
• emotions and our wills
• emotions and our thoughts
• emotions and our communication
• nurturing emotions and
• using words, memories and the imagination to cultivate metta

Along with your responses to the questions at the end of the reading, feel free to share with us your experiences of how metta has impacted your emotions and relationships.

I look forward to this week's discussion.

And a reminder - after this study, we will share projects.  Please write to me  dh.saddhamala@gmail.com about your project - just a paragraph describing what you are planning.

Have a great week!
