Exploring the Karaniya Metta Sutta - March 15, 2015

From Earth Metta Sangha on Mon, 9 Feb, 2015 - 19:54“May all beings be happy in their heart of hearts!”

This day of study, reflection and ritual will explore the richness of the Karaniya Metta Sutta, the Buddha’s discourse on universal loving kindness. In particular, we’ll examine how can we make this teaching more relevant to our everyday lives and to our engagement in the world. Open to all.

Led by Khemasuri and Suddhacandika with support from Karaniya Metta Kula. Please bring a veggie lunch to share.
