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
