Being Lost in a Story During Metta Meditation
Update: 2025-09-26
Description
In this podcast, Bhante explores the true nature of Metta (loving-kindness) practice, distinguishing it from simply wishing or praying for others, which often involves hidden expectations that can lead to disappointment. It emphasizes that genuine Metta begins with compassionate self-understanding—treating oneself with forgiveness, care, and wisdom—which then extends naturally to others, including difficult family members and coworkers. Through this practice, we cultivate unconditional love and emotional resilience, recognizing that harmful behavior often comes from others' helplessness, and choosing to respond with clarity, compassion, and peace.
