The middle way that the Buddha taught is rich with possibilities. The term “middle” does not define a narrow conformity only achieved by sidestepping errors, but rather a vast invitation to profoundly come to life. On this day we will practise a wide and deep middle by expanding our understanding of and connection to all things, including ourselves.

The Brahma Viharas are the Buddha’s teachings on four aspects of our heart’s innate capacity for love, freed from personal attachment. We will explore the view, attitudes and cultivations that bring forth these qualities, looking at the conditions that support them as well as the obstacles or barriers that hinder them.

Mettā is a powerful and beautiful way of approaching life. It is often translated as friendliness or kindness, and represents an expression of limitless goodwill. Living this way requires a radical departure from the biological and cultural norms that shape us, but it is achievable.

To live is to feel. We feel the contact of breath and touch; we feel our inner and outer world through our heart-mind; and in the Dharma, feeling specifically refers to vedanā—the feeling we have about sensations: pleasant; unpleasant; or neither. Dharma teachings and practices reveal ways to meet the full range of feelings we encounter in our life in transformative ways.
