CAN WE BE TOO KIND & CARING THAT IT OBSTRUCTS DAILY LIFE? - Metta Q&A

33 minutes

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

In this segment, we look at the question of "CAN WE BE TOO KIND & CARING THAT IT OBSTRUCTS DAILY LIFE?" by:

looking at how the practise of metta results in a refinement of one's virtue (body, speech and mind);

revisiting how it's important to cultivate the ten skilled states (dasakusala)

providing another way of contemplating the ten skilled states to reinforcing these core virtues;

highlighting the Buddha's teaching on "Mind is the chief forerunner of all unwholesome states";

mentioning the Story of Cakkhupala Thera; and

taking a quick look at what Buddha teaches on cause, diversity, result and cessation of kamma.
