2024-12-05 Maybe it's Not Metta! Using Equanimity + Compassion to work with Difficult Folks (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 43:29
Leslie Booker
The goal of offering metta for a difficult person, is not to change their behavior, but to make sure our hearts don't get colonized by the 3 poisons of greed, hatred and delusion. And for many of us, it's not Metta that is the gateway, but equanimity and compassion. After a 15 minute silent meditation, Booker sings Loosen by Ally Halpert as a lullaby.

2024-12-05 Metta as Refuge 35:02
Leslie Booker
A response to where we are in this time in our history when everything might seem a bit topsy turvy and upside down. The political commentator Melissa Harris Perry refers to this kind of confusion as trying to stand up straight in a crooked room. Many of us have been secluding, isolating, putting up walls as armour, as protection - in order to not feel the full catastrophe. Many of us are here because we’re ready to lay that armour down, to engage with life and be alive again. And so this afternoons reflections will be on how we can rest in Metta as refuge.

Renate Seifarth
Metta als grundlegende Haltung mit der wir Menschen und Erfahrungen begegnen wirkt erfüllend und heilsam. Zahlreiche Personen aus allen spirituellen Traditionen weisen darauf hin. Durch die Mettameditationspraxis lässt sich eine solche Haltung von grundlegendem Wohlwollen in uns verankern, die wir unabhängig von Launen, Reaktionen, Emotionen in uns bewahren können. So wird diese Haltung zu einer Kraft, mit der wir auch bei verletzenden Erfahrungen die Orientierung bewahren können.
