Bhante Gunaratana & Bhante Saddha | Metta Retreat (9:30 am – 10:45 am; ET, US)
Join Bhante Henepola Gunaratana (Bhante G), Bhante S and the Bhavana Society community in this Metta Retreat, live from West Virginia.The word “Metta” in Pali is often translated as loving kindness. It is the first of the Brahma Viharas (Divine Abodes) that we can abide in this very life. Metta is also the first of the four protective meditations that can sustain our practice with confidence and steadfast support. In this retreat, we will cultivate our loving kindness in order to overcome ill-will, lack of energy, and restlessness/anxiety, both on the cushion and off the cushion. This practice can lead us from confusion to enlightenment and will benefit us in all aspects of our lives.This retreat is for both beginners and experienced meditators.
