Metta Sutra As Practice
from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast · host Zen Mountain Monastery
Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 2/21/26 – Our unified being—seeing body and mind as one reality—is profoundly affected by outside circumstances. Zazen practice turns us inward, to meet ourselves and what is arising in this mind-body. Shugen Roshi brings The Metta Sutta alive as the Buddha’s instructions on how to practice this dynamic flow of both inward and outward with loving-kindness. It speaks to the heart of spiritual work and the transformation possible, when a practitioner can bring these qualities outward to meet the world. – The text of the Karaniya Metta Sutta is here on the ZMM Liturgy page: zmm.org/liturgy/
