In Pali, mettā means "kindness" or "benevolence." Some refer to a mettā meditation as a "loving kindness" meditation. Many Buddhists encourage a daily service of reciting the names of people we find challenging to be around, or feel immense anger towards, or have us convinced they're happier because they're hurting us, and then wishing them to be free from suffering, and to find the inner peace that could never target or bully or hurt intentionally.


The concept itself challenges our assumptions around why people hurt other people. Quite often, there's a degree of misery, envy or fear within that is externalized as unhealthy actions. The same could be said for ourselves. Upon reflection, we might discover our unfortunate reactions in the past were likely fueled by something worthy of empathy and forgiveness.

However, if you feel this idea could offer you a chance to experience compassion, and to see other's actions from a different angle, (and our own unwell actions) then please join us...
