    This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein explicates:

    • The unconditional quality of metta
    • Helping each other see our individual loveliness
    • Using mantra to evoke the feeling of loving-kindness
    • Metta as a tool for deep concentration
    • Experimenting with the different ways metta can be applied in meditation
    • The three aspects of practicing of loving-kindness
    • A 12-minute guided metta practice to settle into the feeling of well-wishing

    “There are two main purposes for doing metta meditation. One is metta, or loving-kindness, which can be used as a vehicle for developing concentration. So, not only for the metta quality itself, but it is a technique or a method for developing strong concentration, even to the point of absolution.” – Joseph Goldstein
