Peace Beyond Suffering

This is the first in a series of three practice. In this meditation we do a body sweeping, establish mindfulness upon the breathing, move into Loving-Kindness practice and then establish the quality of Compassion firmly within one's own heart and mind. After this, we move on to include both another 'dear person' and then a 'neutral person.' In the follow up meditations we will train to include more and more beings within the Heart and attitude of Compassion.

This is the podcast that acts as a pre requisite to the beautiful, compassion meditation practice of Ajahn's. Compassion is an incredible subject, for it can be both an emotion, an attitude a pure form of concentration as well as an powerful tool for transformation and purification. This being so, there is a lot to cover, which is why this talk has been presented in two-parts. The talk covers many interesting overlapping subjects, from the esoteric and cosmological, to the nitty gritty of integrating Compassion into our daily life.
