This morning’s metta bhavana session was the first that I actually felt some ease and warmth arise with the recitation of “May I be happy and peaceful”. This may not seem like much but it was a pivotal moment for me as it meant I could proceed to the next phrase. Now, I must admit tol feeling some equivocation and confusion about this as I am uncertain whether to move onto avero homi (may I be free of aversion) or nidukkho homi (may I be free of suffering) but it seems as if I keep tripping onto the latter. So, karuna it is.
I had actually written a much longer post this morning but, due to this new phone, ended up accidentally deleting it so I apologize for the low quality and beg your indulgence. May we all be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
[…] Nidukkho homi […]
