About this listen

A spacious meditation led my Plum Village monks, Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister True Dedication. There are actually two different recordings that I merged into a single audio track.

Experience the ancient practice of loving-kindness meditation through a series of carefully translated phrases. This guided meditation presents traditional metta phrases in pairs, allowing for deep contemplation and resonance. Beginning with self-directed wishes for peace, safety, and emotional well-being, the practice gradually expands to include others and ultimately all beings. The repetitive nature of these paired phrases creates a gentle rhythm that helps settle the mind while cultivating qualities of love, understanding, and freedom from suffering. These timeless verses offer a framework for developing a more compassionate relationship with ourselves and others.
