Retreat Type:

'Develop an unlimited heart of friendliness for the entire universe, sending metta above, below, and all around, beyond all narrowness, beyond all rivalry, beyond all hatred' (Karaniya Metta Sutta)

In cultivating metta we are seeking to do something both ordinary, in developing qualities such as kindness, friendliness, patience, generosity - and something extraordinary, as metta moves us beyond our own sphere of self-concern to an expansive, unlimited, unconditional love for all beings.

On this retreat we will be using the words of the Buddha in the Karaniya Metta Sutta as our guide. This takes us through the grounding of metta in ethics, the practice of it in meditation and the realisation of the fullness of metta in wisdom and the complete liberation of the heart.

There will be daily presentations and discussion of themes from the sutta alongside meditation and evening rituals.

Provisional timetable:
10.00am - 12.00pm Morning Session
