Planting Seeds of Compassion

What this episode covers

Sathi often closes the guided meditation with a brief Metta meditation. May all living beings be well, happy, skillful, and peaceful. In this recording, he explains how that is planting a seed of compassion and love after the meditators have settled and emptied their minds. Sathi talks about how each meditator is reshaping themselves to become more compassionate and less responsive to anger and irritation. He gives several practical examples including how we deal with children acting out and adults who are "acting out. A meditator asks about responding to a spouse who triggers non-compassionate behavior. Another meditator talks about being with a group of angry people who are uncomfortable being around a calm, non-angry person.
