  • Summary

  • We began our journey by contemplating the first line of this famous saying from the Zen tradition:


    “A special transmission outside the scriptures.

    No dependence on words.

    Direct pointing to the mind.

    Seeing into one’s own true nature, realising Buddhahood.”


    In this Episode, we explore the third week of the 'Essence of Meditation' course, drawing inspiration from the third line of a Zen saying : "Direct pointing to the heart-mind." 

    Join us as we navigate the intricacies of metta bhavana meditation, a practice often considered challenging. Inspired by the insights of Zen hermit/monk Ryokan, Padmasagara guides us in simplifying and grounding the metta bhavana, making it accessible and effective.

    Discover how to cultivate loving-kindness in a straightforward manner, with direct impacts on our hearts and the hearts of all beings.
