(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) When we offer mettā to ourselves, we're not trying to transform our experience into unconditional self-love—we're learning to love the parts of ourselves that don't want to love us back. This practice invites us to recognize all our parts because when we can love the fragmented parts of ourselves, we begin to see ourselves as sacred beings, and in knowing ourselves deeply, we come to know Kuan Yin.

Ogni mercoledì, alle 19.30, gli ascoltatori ci raccontano un episodio significativo della loro vita, legato ad una canzone speciale.Oggi è Mett a condividere con noi la sua storia.
Hallo ihr Leckermäulchen. Heute geht es darum welches Land das beste Frühstück hat. Mögt ihr es lieber deftig wie die Briten? Oder lieber buttrig wie die Franzosen? Oder frühstückt ihr gar nicht? Solltet ihr schon lieber, weil Frühstück bietet viele wertvolle Nährstoffe. Zum Beispiel Vitamine. Wie sieht es an der Huaustierfront aus? Würdet ihr einen Hamster direkt in den Shaker werfen wenn er sich die Hüfte bricht oder würdet ihr ihm ein Uber zum Tierarzt rufen? Wir freuen uns auf eure Kommentare. Liebe Grüße
Veðrið, altjóða matardagur, Mett fyri minni Við í sendingini eru Hanus Kjølbro, Tróndur Leivsson, Sunneva Gudmundsdóttir Mortensen
Rülpser riechen, ein spannendes Gesellschaftsspiel für die ganze Familie. Was gab es zu essen? Was rieche ich? Und bei jedem Mal falsch raten muss man pures Mett essen. Ein Partyspiel, auch für Freunde und Bekannte, Kollegen, Vereine...und das Gute ist: Es kostet nichts! So kommt man sich sehr nahe und kann die ganzen Barrieren, die sonst zwischen uns stehen, einreissen und sich wieder voller Hingabe in die Arme fallen. Einen Namen für das Spiel haben wir noch nicht, aber vielleicht fällt Euch was ein, schreibt es in die Kommentare oder direkt an uns auf Facebook oder Instagram. Rülps Euer Stefan und Martin
A partire dalla lettura del Mettā sutta, l'insegnamento del Buddha sulla gentilezza amorevole. La rabbia è come un fuoco che scatta quando qualcuno ci colpisce. L'odio invece è una brace fredda che continua a covare, danneggiandoci il cuore. Il Buddha ci insegna: quando la rabbia si posa sulla mente, è come una mosca sul braccio. Non diventiamo la mosca. Riconosciamo la rabbia ma non le diamo retta. Questa è la forza della pratica: trasformare anche i conflitti più aspri in occasioni di crescita interiore. Riflessioni di Dharma registrate registrata da Sirimedho Stefano De Luca nel gruppo di meditazione dell'Associazione Kalyanamitta il 12 Settembre 2025.

GG: Sendingin er ein redigerað útgáva av upprunasendingini, ið varð send beinleiðis 01.09. Orsøkin til, at hon er redigerað, er fylgjandi: Sendingin viðgjørdi nýsetta tekniska leiðaran í FSF, og vertur og viðmerkjarar meta um hansara persón og persónligu eginleikar. Fjølmiðletisku leiðreglurnar avmarka slíka persónliga viðgerð. Mett varð eftirfylgjandi, at farið var út um mark, og tískil er tann parturin kliptur úr sendingini.

Loving kindness is simply the intention of unconditional good will to all beings, without any distinction. Ajahn Dhammasiha explains benefits of a well established practice of loving kindness ('Mettā'). When we experience benefits of our metta practice (for instance healthy, peaceful sleep and waking up happily), they are the most powerful motivation to continue to develop our loving kindness even further.WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#metta #lovingkindness #dhammatalk #buddhism #goodwill

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Extending loving kindness meditation from the primary practice of ourselves and a chosen easiest being, we can open at times to include any dear friend whom also easily come to mind. At this stage of practice we are inclining out mettā practice to rest where mettā is easiest. This would be any beings for whom it is easy to see the good in them, and we easily feel warmth.

Ajahn Dhammasiha is asked about supportive conditions to make our Metta Meditation (Loving Kindness) stronger and more successful: Loving Kindness to Oneself! Make sure you really include yourself when you extend Mettā to all beingsCompassion (Karuna). Use other Divine Abidings (Brahmavihāra) as appropriate, in particular Compassion/Karunā. If we struggle to extend metta to anyone, we may be more successful with Karuna. The most difficult people often have a lot of pain themselves. Once we see that, it's easier to have compassion to them.Contemplating Karma (Kamma). What I experience is the result of my own karma, my own actions, including actions in past lives. On a deeper level, the person hurting me is simply returning my own bad karma to me. Also, they will have to bear the painful result of their own karma in future, no need for me the avenger or punisher, they will get their karma anyhow. Contemplating Impermanence (Anicca-Saññā). What we're so upset with today, we may not even be able to remember in a years time. Why getting worked up about anything so evanescent Contemplating Death. If I were to die today, would I really bother about all these irritations I experience? Compared to the reality of our & our 'enymies'' mortality, what we're angry about appears so irrelevant.Sense Retraint (Indriya-samvara/Indriyesu Guttadvāra). Simply avoid persons and situations that make you angry, and don't even think about or remember them.Don't look at the tweets of a politician you can't stand. Don't watch that video, or those news, if they make you angry. Wise Attention (Yoniso Manasikāra). Focus on what's beautiful in others and yourself. Give attention to your own and others' kind and admirable qualities and actions. Contentment. Count your blessings. Appreciate what you have already, rather than hankering after things other have, and which may be difficult to obtain. Gratitude (Kataññū-Katavedi). Remember all the good you have received from others. Focus on that, rather than on the hard times other have given you.Good Friends (Kalyāṇamittatā). Don't hang out with angry people, spend time and become friends with those who practise Loving Kindness themselvesDhammagiri WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#metta #lovingkindness #compassion #contentment #meditation #dhamma #buddhism

In this episode, I am once again joined by Dhammarato: a lineage teacher in the Thai Buddhist tradition. Dhammarato critiques Western and Asian Buddhist forms, including the Mahasi method, and addresses misconceptions about stream entry. Dhammarato comments on The Shorter Discourse to Mālunkyāputta, explains why the Buddha refused to teach on certain metaphysical subjects, challenges reincarnation, and questions mettā bhāvanā. Dhammarato also presents his understanding of the Buddha's true teachings, how to find a guru, and reflects on his own training under Ajahn Po. … Also available on Youtube - search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. ... 01:52 - Reflecting on 80 years of life 02:36 - Western Buddhism 03:02 - Buddhism with a lot of baggage 04:42 - Buddhism's inferior spread in the West 05:25 - Alan Watts was more Christian than Zen 06:33 - Steve reads a sutta 09:12 - The imponderables and what the Buddha left undeclared 10:06 - Reincarnation is not part of the teachings 12:29 - Dhammarato on the 4 noble truths 13:23- Enlightenment is immediately available 14:08 - Right samadhi 15:18 - How to be free of suffering 15:33 - Buddha only taught one practice: ānāpānasati 17:28 - The noble mind 19:50 - The four noble truths are the only teaching 20:35 - Life is not suffering 21:48 - The Mahasi method is wrong 22:13 - The 16 stages of insight is a misguided model 23:18 - Western Buddhism is a ripoff 26:37 - Magical teachings and the folly of attainments 28:21 - Mahasi attainments vs what the Buddha taught 29:09 - Avoid these aspects of Western Buddhist meditation 30:16 - Mettā bhāvanā is not a teachings 32:44 - How to become a meditation teacher 34:02 - 5 ways to gain the Dhamma 35:15 - Critique of meditation retreats 37:28 - Buddha's path is easy 40:44 - Attainments and mutual validation 42:03 - Peoples don't see their greed 44:03 - Don't brag about attainments 44:30 - How to know is someone is enlightened 49:32 - Huge understandings about stream entry 57:48 - Why do people claim stream entry? 01:00:37 - Christian Buddhism 01:02:33- How to demonstrate attainments 01:05:45 - How to expose fake stream enterers 01:08:52 - Meditation teacher trainings 01:10:37 - Certificates and the Wizard of Oz 01:18:11 - What are teacher trainings good for? 01:22:24 - How to become a good teacher 01:23:57 - Don't train under a lay man for money - Discord: https://discord.gg/epphTGY - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxg5GJFsRqnS-YLTzyrjLQ For more visit. - www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

In this heartfelt episode, CJMiller shares a personal story about teaching his son to drive—and the spiritual metaphor that unfolded along the way. While navigating Central Expressway, a car sped by, weaving in and out of traffic. Instead of reacting, CJ pulled aside and let it pass. It became the perfect teaching moment: when someone operates from chaotic or aggressive energy, you don't have to match it. Let them meet their own energy. This story expands into a larger reflection on life. As CJ explains to his son, everything operates on a spiritual level. The consciousness of a reckless driver will eventually attract a similar consciousness. Our job is to hold steady—to stay centered in love. When we react, retaliate, or try to “win,” we step away from our love base. Drawing inspiration from Abraham-Hicks and the concept of staying in the “vortex,” CJ explores the challenge of maintaining spiritual alignment in a world that constantly pulls us toward fear, outrage, and distraction. Whether it's doomscrolling on social media, toxic conversations, or drama-driven entertainment, we're being called to a higher practice: holding the vibration of Love. Be the broader Love. This isn't romantic love—it's the universal Love that ancient cultures and spiritual traditions have named again and again. The Greeks called it Agape. In Buddhism, it's Mettā—loving-kindness. In Hinduism, Bhakti. In Catholic mysticism, Caritas. In New Thought, it is the Creative Intelligence behind all form—Love as a force that moves through everything and asks for nothing in return. CJ shares how he's begun pulling back from negative media and limiting his exposure to people who feed off fear and anger—not out of judgment, but to protect and nurture his own vibration. He encourages you to do the same: gently guide conversations back toward light, or walk away when necessary. We're often taught that we have to fix the problems we see. But sometimes, the highest form of action is demonstration. Be the lighthouse. Engage in passive resistance. Send money to organizations you believe in. Set intentions, offer prayers, donate to the disadvantaged. Staying in Love Consciousness is enough. Don't push against—go toward Agape Love. This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder: we don't fix the world by sinking to its level. We change it by holding our ground in Love, and letting others rise to meet us there—when they're ready.
