Ayya Medhanandi
Contentment and generosity nurture a quality of metta that is kind through and through. We learn to respond to life like the good earth that is ever patient with and tolerant of our heedlessness. Whatever you throw on it – even if it’s harmful – the earth receives that. Generating such a depth of goodwill, we endure through hardships with contentment even if we’re struggling. And, with a generosity of harmlessness, we weave great compassion and benevolence to ourselves as well as to others. Such measureless kindness never dies. It is our true wealth and the bedrock of our path to liberation

2023-11-18 Give Peace A Chance 18:29
Ayya Medhanandi
With selfless awareness, we practise good-will, radiating loving-kindness inwardly and to all beings, even to those who are indifferent or hostile, or to those who cause harm. This is the Buddha's instruction to us in the Metta Sutta. Can we unequivocally wish all beings freedom from harm? Can we forgive enough to convert thoughts of fear, anger or enmity into benevolence? It takes courage to enter a dark space without a light. So we try as much as we can because unconditional compassion and kindness in this world give peace, healing and reconciliation a chance.

2023-10-28 Grenzenlose Güte - ihre Bedeutung und Entwicklung 48:29
Renate Seifarth
Es wird auf den Zusammenhang von Weisheit und Mitgefühl hingewiesen. Die Grundlage von Mitgefühl ist die tiefe Güte des menschlichen Herzens, Metta. Güte verringert unser aller Leid. Sie stellt keine Bedingungen und kann nicht zu Enttäuschung führen. Sie ist eine unendliche Kraft in unserem Herzen, in Angesicht von Leid wandelt sie sich in Mitgefühl, wird Wohlergehen wahrgenommen, entsteht Mitfreude. Die Ausdehnung unseres Blick führt uns zu der Motivation von Bodhicitta.
