After an intensive Metta (loving-kindness) retreat we get the great opportunity to take our practice home. In our daily lives the practice of metta supports sila (harmlessness) and dana (generosity).
Loving-kindness practice can be used to unify the heart and mind in deep contentment. To develop this unity we need to ripen the five jhana (absorption) factors.
G.R.A.C.E. as an acronym for practice; benefits of metta from the suttas and scientific studies; contemplative and universal aspirations for practicing loving-kindness.
