It is a guide to recovering our basic human inheritance of joy” – Sangharakshita The Buddha is renowned as the embodiment of wisdom and love. He also represents the fullest flowering of human potential. On this course we’ll be studying the Buddha’s words on metta – loving-kindness – and how they point out a path to realise this potential. We’ll be putting his teachings into practice starting with identifying more skillful ways of living; cultivating a vigorous imaginative identification with others; and freeing our mind through the development of wisdom. The course will include an introduction to the metta-bhavana (development of loving-kindness meditation) and is suitable for newcomers as well as people who wish to intensify their practice and glean new insights. The course is based upon Sangharakshita’s book Living With Kindness and you will be provided with a copy of the book as part of the course. You will receive the book on the first night of the course. 								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									Over the five weeks we will cover:Week 1: The way of metta and the first stage of metta-bhavana – metta for oneself.Week 2: The ethical foundations of metta and the second stage of metta-bhavana – metta for a friend.Week 3: Cultivating metta and the third stage of metta-bhavana – metta for a neutral person.Week 4: The culmination of metta and the fourth stage of metta-bhavana – metta for an enemy.Week 5: The realization of metta and the fifth stage of metta-bhavana – metta equalized and limitless.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									WhenStarts Thursday 27th February 2024\, 6.30pm – 8.45pm | For 5 weeks WhereDublin Buddhist CentreUnit 5\, Liberty CornerJames Joyce StreetDublin\, D01 N5H6 								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n																\n															\n															\n				\n				\n				\n									Sadayasihi learned to meditate in 2007 in the Dublin Buddhist Centre while she was training to be a solicitor\, having had an interest in Buddhism since she was a teenager.
