Sunday Afternoon-Rinpoche Part of Weekend Metta Sutra Retreat
February 28, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
This Sunday, February 28 at 1:00pm, Khenpo Karten Rinpoche will give a Dharma talk as part of a three-day, weekend retreat at the Mount Adams Buddhist Temple at Trout Lake Abbey. The retreat begins Friday, Feb. 26 and runs through Sunday, Feb.28, 2021. You can see all the details of the weekend retreat, entitled “3-Day Buddhist Mahayana Retreat on Metta and Practice,” hosted by the Venerable Thich Minh Tinh (Thay Kozen).
Attendees at the January weekend retreat hosted by Manjushri Dharma Center will recall that Thay Kozen taught on the Metta Sutra during our retreat, and taught these beautiful verses and practice:
can change the world:May I be Well
May I be Happy
May I know Love
May I know PeaceMay you be Well
May you be Happy
May you know Love
May you know Peace
Start out by holding your right hand over the center of your chest, then place your left hand over your right one and gently hug your chest.
Then say the above sentences. Think of yourself as you say the “May I …” Think first of a loved one as you say the “May you…” Then to cleanse your heart, think of someone who has caused you pain or distress and repeat the “May you…”
The Buddha tells us – What we think we become.
