Metta Meditation – cultivating a benevolent and friendly climate of the heart
“Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal law.” (Dhammapada 1.5.)
Metta describes a quality of the heart, which is characterized by non-egocentric love, benevolence and friendliness – independent of outer conditions.
The accepting and opening spirit of Metta is very conducive for vipassana insight practice, at the same time it is a practice in its own right for cultivating the heart.
