Community Practice Day Metta for the Earth Sunday 14 June 10.00-4.30pm

A day at the Brighton Buddhist Centre to look at the Earth Metta Practice in more depth.

How do we practice Metta towards those living in Hell Realms where all they know is suffering – or towards those who live in a realm where all they can understand is Power?

And how do we become Bodhisattvas? How do we go about practicing the Perfections of Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Energy, Concentration and Wisdom?
