Arousing Lovingkindness ~ Plant the Seed
August 01, 2008
My mom is visiting me this week so I'm taking a blogging break. We're having a relaxing time together, beating the DC heat and spending some time watching the Eckart Tolle/Oprah video podcasts from his new book, A New Earth. They're great!
I appreciate this video because it's about metta, or lovingkindness, which has been the focal point of the meditation group I've facilitated for just over a year now. It's true... lovingkindness is something we cultivate within us. Give it a try, and watch the seed of compassion grow within your heart.
namaste.

Lovely, Susan. Thanks so much for such a nice message. All of our meditations, poems and readings seem to meshing into the same message.
Thanks for Operah's link as well.

This is good stuff. There is something about extending one's self to others in lovingkindness that brings about a feeling of goodness and wellness within and is a benefit to the whole world.

I like what he says about how we categorize things and people into groups that we like and don't like and that this duality causes a lot of stress. And that rousing Bodhichita helps to make things more even.
