The fourth of our early morning, post-meditation conversations about metta (loving kindness) from Portsmouth, NH, in the U.S. Today's discussion was on the fourth stage of the meditation to develop loving kindness where you consider an "enemy" (someone you find difficult) in awareness and love. And as you'll hear, it goes deep!

In fact, our gallant crew were so generous and open we've decided to split the discussion into two parts rather than lose whole sections. So this is part 1 and we'll release part 2 tomorrow, concluding at the weekend with reflections on the last stage.

Join us all week for discussion of the theme of this year's ongoing Urban Retreat: Blazing Like The Sun...
