The PSMC will organise a 3-days Metta retreat from Friday the 7th of August to Sunday the 9th of August, 2009.

Metta is one of the teachings of Buddha. Metta (Loving Kindness) is a kind of love, a genuine desire for the wellbeing of all beings. It is love, but not connected with attachment, not connected with lust. It is pure love and desire for all beings, including ourselves. So when you practice loving kindness and hope for your own happiness, you can practice by repeating the following sentences silently to yourself about ten or fifteen times.

May I be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all being in this house be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all being in this area be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all being in this city be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all being in county be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all being in this state be well, happy and peaceful
May all being in this country be well, happy and peaceful.
May all being in this world be well, happy and peaceful.
May all being in this universe be well, happy and peaceful.
May all being be well, happy and peaceful.
