About
If Buddhism focuses on the here and now, why does Metta Meditation extend to “invisible beings,” and what are they? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi illustrated that Metta meditation helps us open our hearts to all beings—those we see and those we don’t—by recognizing that everyone wants to be happy. It teaches us to let go of attachment to physical forms and to respond to others with compassion and understanding. By practicing this, we can stay connected, forgive, and love even when people, pets, and all beings pass away, seeing the person beyond their body.
