Metta Sutra As Instructions

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 2/18/26 - This early sutra of the Buddha describes the practice of metta, offered as a beneficial aid to settle the mind and body and ease fear and vexation. Even within the wild restlessness of our minds, the troubles of our hearts and ways in which we struggle, taking these instructions to heart and understanding it’s intent can help us settle into the refuge of a zazen. - The text of the Karaniya Metta Sutta is here on the ZMM Liturgy page: zmm.org/liturgy/
