00:00 Metta Lab - Karaṇīyametta Sutta - 18 May 2024
05:43 Quick recap
09:13 What is noble washing?
13:24 Guided meditation - up to prudent
40:36 Courteous (appagabbho)
41:27 How do we become courteous?
48:27 How do we not yearn to associate with families or groups (kulesvananugiddho)?
55:38 Understanding supramundane loving kindness, right view (not me and mine) activates the noble eightfold path
1:11:14 Not do the slightest wrong (not to fall from skilled states, not backslide)
1:12:08 Understanding the three kinds of authority helpful to not being reproved or blamed
1:18:26 "May all beings be happy"
1:22:21 Sharing the merit & blessings
The focus is on developing *supramundane* loving kindness in accordance with the Buddha's teachings in the Pali Canon.
(1) We will begin with the Buddha's instructions on how to develop mettā in the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8)
(2) Then we will develop the First Doorway to Nibbana or Painful Practice with Slow Realisation which culminates in immeasurable mettā, based on the Asubha Sutta (AN 4.163) and Suttavebhaṅgiya (Pe 9). It also draws on what we learn in the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8)
(3) Then we will develop mettā with the seven enlightenment factors (bojjhangas), based on the Mettāsahagata Sutta (SN 46.54), which distinguishes the Buddha's teaching of mettā from all others. And liberation of mind by loving kindness (mettācetovimutti)
These are purposely "slow sessions" to gradually learn (or revise), develop and practise each step of these sutta meditations. Each session will be 1 to 1.5 hours duration. And during the session there will be short meditation periods. It may take a few weeks to complete each sutta meditation.
Mettā Lab is for beginners and meditators who wish to refresh and deepen their loving kindness practice. Everyone is welcome.
