Each of us has a genuine capacity for love, forgiveness, wisdom and compassion. Meditation awakens these qualities so that we can discover for ourselves the unique happiness that is our birthright.

When we practice metta, we open continuously to the truth of our actual experience, changing our relationship to life.

While you are meditating, if your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the present moment.

Loving ourselves opens us to truly knowing ourselves as part of the matrix of existence, inextricably connected to the boundlessness of life... when we see that we are far bigger than the person that is delineated by family or cultural expectations, we realize we are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

To reteach a thing its loveliness is the nature of metta. Through lovingkindness, everyone & everything can flower again from within.

The quality of mindfulness does not just know something is happening - e.g. there is an emotion, a sensation - but knows without clinging or condemning.
