A meditation

Post by Dana Sheets »

May I be filled with loving kindness.
May I be peaceful and at ease.
May I be relaxed.
May I be happy.

Personally I find it works better to replace "May I be" with "I am". But whatever blows your hair back works.

The second stage of the meditation is outward as you focus on the well-being of another. Usually this is easier to do with your lover or child and then work your way outward to other family members, then friends, then strangers, then the world, then the universe (but not all in the first night!)

So it would go something like:
May my daughter be filled with loving kindness
May she be peaceful and at ease
May she be relaxed
May she be happy

And in the act of meditation on your own well being and then the well being of others it becomes easier to have these thoughts throughout the course of your regular life - and as thoughts form the basis of our actions our actions then become more compassionate.

Until that sorry bastard slammed my hand with the door yesterday - which made all my loving kindness flee in the face of my desire to clock him one.

:D

Well with Meditation I have a problem with all this loving kindness pullarver :roll: .....If you take Buddhism, this only came about much later.all the Tibetan, Japanese (...cept Zen) are later perversions not from the original Indian tradition ( which they tried to be-little :evil: :evil: )..even now there are distinctions between Mayhana ( all this loving kindness business) and Vipassna....basically what you do is find enlightenment for your self
The enlightenment will make you into a better person :lol: .then you can be kind, simple like a block of wood.and all the silly metaphors folks use for this sort of thing.......but until then you are a fluff ball blowing bubbles :lol:
I always found breath counting to be very cool ( the most basic, the most simple the most complex..........the beginning and the end :lol: :lol: .....but I guess you've heard that somewhere else already :wink: )

Now your talking Jorvik.

Big fan of the Trappist monks.

If you ever find a Shaolin sect making that kind of beer let me know.
