Spiritual Workshop

In my Spiritual Workshop, I train all yogis to achieve up to the fourth jhana, and have organized a Peace Mission through mind deliverance of loving kindness(Metta Cetovimutti). Group members meditate upon sending Metta, loving kindness, to the eight geographical directions.

East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest,North, Northeast, and directions above and below. Sending Metta to the entire world with their hearts filled with abundant and measureless loving kindness, they wish all to be free from enmity, affliction, and anxiety.

Practitioners need to have achieved at least the first jhana to effectively send this type of Metta.

Metta-Abhinna is the specific operational definition of my Peace Mission. If one has real Metta,loving kindness, one can be almost everything and one radiates a noble,grand peace.

Metta breaks away all barriers which separate beings from one another.Abhinna,means a special kind of supernatural power of consciousness.

For those who practice Anapanasati,this stage can be easily achieved.Through Metta-Abhinna, we can provide solutions not resolved by conventional means.

There is dissatisfaction almost everywhere today. Dissatisfaction creates ill will. Ill will creates hatred. Hatred creates enmity.Enmity creates war. War creates enmity.Thus, a vicious cycle is created.

Why is tis cycle being created? Certainly because there is alack of proper control over the mind.The Buddha taught that the world is mind-made, and the mind predominates over everything.

According to the Buddhist method, training oneself frst is the prerequisite for solving problems.Individual perfection must be first so that the organic whole may be perfect.Thus , the state of the outer world is a reflection of our inner selves.

I would like to encourage you to meditate on sending Metta each day, using the Mind-Deliverance of Loving Kindness meditation.Thus ,our thoughts, actions and words may be filled with loving kindness.From trained minds come right thoughts, right actions and right words.
