METTA LAB - Weekly Slow Session 02
Welcome to Mettā Lab @suttameditationseries
Mettā Lab is a weekly YouTube livestream Dhamma session on the Sutta Meditation Series channel to develop and intensify our loving kindness (mettā) practice. 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.

PROFITABLE PERCEPTIONS (PART VI) — Perception of impermanence
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
We continue our Profitable Perceptions Series with Part VI: Perception of impermanence (aniccasaññā) explained in the Dutiyasaññā Sutta (AN 7.49).
* Please note this is part of an insight pathway we develop by applying this particular sequence of profitable perceptions from the Buddha. So how we develop the perception of impermanence is finely tuned to what we have already developed in the earlier profitable perceptions, as well as how it is framed with the mind shrinking away from gain, honour and praise.

WHY DOES BUDDHISM TALK SO MUCH ABOUT SUFFERING?
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
This question "Why does Buddhism talk so much about suffering?" is often asked by people who are not-so familiar with the Buddha's teachings and also people who are practising the Buddha's teachings and wish to help people who ask them this question. This was a recent offering to a kalyanamitta that might be of benefit to others. Wishing you well.
