Releasing Ill Will With Loving-Kindness

This talk is about the affliction of ill will and how it can be released with loving-kindness. There is some discussion about emotions and their functions with a focus on anger. Then, loving-kindness or metta is described along with its near and far enemies. Suttas about metta are then read. This talk was given at Yarrawarra on Nov 17, 2019, as talk 3 on a 7-day silent retreat. Instructions on the practice of loving-kindness meditation are given in guided meditations found on this page.
