Metta as an Antidote to Challenging Times
In times of uncertainty, conflict, and distress, the ancient practice of metta—loving-kindness meditation—offers a pathway to tending to both our hearts and our world. This talk explores how cultivating friendliness and goodwill, beginning with ourselves and extending outward to all beings, can transform our relationship to difficulty and become a source of resilience, wisdom, and compassionate action.
