Guided Metta (Loving-Kindness) Meditation

This is a guided metta (loving-kindness) meditation based on the traditional format taught in the Theravadin Buddhist tradition. According to the Buddha the benefits of practising metta meditation are far reaching for oneself and for others.

As stated in the Discourse, Mettanisamsa Sutta: Discourse on Advantages of Loving-kindness (AN 11.16)

"Monks, eleven advantages are to be expected from the release (deliverance) of heart by familiarizing oneself with thoughts of loving-kindness (metta), by the cultivation of loving-kindness...

1. One sleeps in comfort. 2. One awakes in comfort. 3. One sees no evil dreams. 4. One is dear to human beings. 5. One is dear to non-human beings. 6. Devas (gods) protect one. 7. Fire, poison, and sword cannot touch one. 8. One's mind can concentrate quickly. 9. One's countenance is serene. 10. One dies without being confused in mind. 11. If one fails to attain arahantship (the highest sanctity) here and now, one will be reborn in the brahma-world.
