Loving Kindness Meditation (Mettā): A 4-Part Class Series

August 27 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for a 4-part class on Loving Kindness (mettā) led by Tom Ledermann, on Tuesdays, August 20, 27, September 3, and 10, from 6:30-8 PM. Feel free to drop in on any class. Mettā is a Pali word meaning lovingkindness or benevolence. The Sanskrit word is maitrī. Mettā refers to qualities of friendliness, love, goodwill, and active interest in others. The concept suggests that Mettā is universal and selfless. It is an all-embracing love. Mettā meditation is one of the practices that can help us to develop compassion for others. In this 4-session Mettā meditation course, we deepen our practice of lovingkindness and learn to integrate it into our daily lives.

Location:
Tallahassee Chan Center (1310 N Paul Russell Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32301) and on Zoom

Other Talks:

  • “How to Help Yourself” by Gita Wijesinghe Pitter
