2004-01-07 Somebody's Laura 58:48
Sylvia Boorstein
The talk emphasizes the way in which particular difficulties (people) who are beloved to us connect us to all beings. We cannot develop compassion in the abstract, our own head is our teacher.
2004-01-08 Metta: Purity And Purification 61:55
Guy Armstrong
When we engage with metta practice we receive either metta (purity) or the inner obstacles to metta, which provide the material for the purification of heart. This talk describes how to relate with self-judgement and fear through metta, as well as the supportive factor of concentration, another aspect of innate purity.
2004-01-10 I Am Asleep, But My Heart Is Awake 51:15
Sylvia Boorstein
The talk explores how metta practice restores the heart to wakefulness over and over again. When it is startled, scared or confused by life and death, danger, criticisms and woodpeckers making holes in our homes metta practice restores the heart.
