Begin your meditation with the usual preparation.
In this meditation we are encouraging our sense of equality and equanimity.
Many of our prejudices will be unconscious.
So by meditating on this we can root out any underlying causes to have any prejudices against any people.
We live in a world that judges people by their colour,
By their sex,
Their gender and also by sexual preferences.
We judge others by their age.
We even judge others if they come from a particular area of our own country.
We judge others by the colour of their hair,
The way they speak.
There is no end to how we judge others.
So to begin this meditation we focus on ourselves and think about how we might appear to be an object of judgment to others.
Whether they think we are too old or not old enough,
Ageism.
Whether people think if you have the best colour a light skin,
A tanned skin,
A dark skin.
Whether we have good hair because it's curly or straight.
Or dark,
Not grey or blonde.
Just think how others see you and know what it is like to have prejudices aimed at yourself.
And then generate from your heart a feeling of being truly yourself and truly beautiful.
You would change nothing.
This is you right now in the universe for whatever reason this is you and you are beautiful.
And there are 8 billion others and they are all unique and all the same in their wish to be happy,
Peaceful and contented.
So focus perhaps on the kind of person who you feel prejudiced towards,
Just let that image arise.
And really question,
Are they any different to you?
And then let yourself inhabit the space with this person and start to fill it with all the extraordinary unique peoples of the world.
Whatever sex,
Whether transsexual,
Whatever they look like,
Whatever their sexuality,
Whatever their race or religion.
All desperately the same,
Wanting happiness and going about it the way they know best and generate compassion and unification.
