Metta

Day two is a meditation on metta, which is loving kindness. We explore cultivating loving kindness towards ourselves by listening to a song about the Metta Sutta. The source of the words of this song is unknown, though it is likely this song was developed from a teaching the Buddha gave on compassion and loving kindness (the Karaniya Metta Sutta). The music is arranged by Kate Munger the founder of the http://thresholdchoir.org/ and sung by the Songsters.

The English translation is by Ratnaprabha, the audio by Joe Richardson.

Well, this is just about the sweetest bonus in any Dharma talk - when the speaker breaks into song and sings of the happy life…
