Episode Synopsis
Offering instruction for metta practice, Joseph Goldstein explains the many flavors of loving-kindness that we can try.
This 2018 talk was originally published on Dharmaseed.
This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein explicates:
The unconditional quality of metta
Helping each other see our individual loveliness
Using mantra to evoke the feeling of loving-kindness
Metta as a tool for deep concentration
Experimenting with the different ways metta can be applied in meditation
The three aspects of practicing of loving-kindness
A 12-minute guided metta practice to settle into the feeling of well-wishing
“There are two main purposes for doing metta meditation. One is metta, or loving-kindness, which can be used as a vehicle for developing concentration. So, not only for the metta quality itself, but it is a technique or a method for developing strong concentration, even to the point of absolution.” – Joseph Goldstein
