L'Amorevolezza (Loving Kindness)
Il primo passo con cui ci allontaniamo dall’egoismo per avvicinarci all’altruismo, alla compassione illimitata e alla nostra definitiva illuminazione, è impegnarci nella pratica dell’amorevolezza. Essa ci insegna ad amarci e crea le basi per amare gli altri.

La pratica dell’Amorevolezza è anche un modo pratico per lavorare con le nostre emozioni, anche quelle più difficili. Nelle varie fasi dell’addestramento incontriamo, e riusciamo a sublimare, varie emozioni negative che solitamente bloccano le nostre capacità di amare incondizionatamente.

L’addestramento buddista sull’amorevolezza include anche le meditazioni sulla compassione, la gioia e l’equanimità.

Ancient Wisdom for a Modern World
The course offers an introduction to Buddhist ideas and approaches. Taught by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago and passed down to us by a lineage of masters who studied these words, reflected deeply on their meaning and experienced their truth personally, these principles are as useful today as they were when first spoken in the gardens and groves of India so many years ago.

Their timeless applicability comes from the fact that they address the basic human desire to find happiness and are not limited to any particular social or political environment.
