The Buddha counsels: “Hatred does not cease by hatred but by non-hatred. This law is eternal.” The alternatives to love — namely, hate or apathy — are not viable for ourselves, for our communities or our world. There are many details to work out, but in one way or another, love will be the path forward. Fear, self-absorption and measurement create a million boundaries — lovingkindness dissolves them. During this daylong, we’ll explore the boundless friendliness of mettā and the ways that it is both the path and the fruit of meditation practice.
The day will include guided and silent sitting meditation, walking meditation, a dharma talk, and an opportunity to ask questions of the teacher. All are welcome..
