METTA LAB — Weekly Slow Session 11 — Recap of Karaniyametta Sutta and Metta Q&A

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.

We recommence Metta Lab with a recap of Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8), and Q&A on this insight pathway.

1:38:08 Sharing the merit and blessings

Following the next recap session, we will start to examine and practise the Buddha's instructions on (3) how to 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.*
