What is the role of metta meditation in relationship to the Vipassana practice? How do we take the practice home? On the cushion? Daily he practice? What's the role of gratitude in embracing all of life
Meditation reveals latent tendencies that can spring to life in 'neurotic' ways. To handle these skillfully we use calming, metta and inquiry. Through this these patterns cease.
Recollecting that these are the planes we get hit by and stuck in. We see the need to resolve old mamma. Meet it with metta-karuna, welcome the dissonances 'home'.
'Boxes' are our compartmentalized lives& their drives. Drives activated by tanha(craving). In meeting the edges of our boxes as they arise, meeting with metta-karuna etc. these edges can dissolve.
