FREE Loving-kindness Audio CD-ROM, by Ven. Pannyavaro

On this CD are the Buddha's teachings on Loving-kindness. It includes the chanting of the Metta Sutta, an explanation of its practice; the basic technique and a guided Loving-kindness meditation given by Ven Pannyavaro, an Australian monk and founder of BuddhaNet.net and founder as well as resident monk at Bodhi Tree Forest Monastery, Northern NSW Australia.

Loving-kindness is a meditation practice, which will bring about positive attitudinal changes as it systematically develops the quality of 'loving-acceptance'. It acts, as it were, as a form of self-psychotherapy, a way of healing the troubled mind to free it from its pain and confusion.

Among all Buddhist meditations, loving-kindness has the benefit of sweetening and changing old habituated negative patterns of mind. In this way, it overcomes all forms of ill will, self-hate and hostility towards others. So it is known as a Guardian Meditation as it protects you and others from harm.

Third Stage of Bodhi Tree Monastery Retreat Centre Build the ‘Satipatthana Lodge’ a Six-Bed Accommodation Unit.

1st and 2nd stages of the project are completed: a Multipurpose Hall, the Pagoda and a 2-bedroom unit. The 3rd stage of the Retreat Complex is the building of a 6-bed room accommodation unit. This gives us the capacity to accommodate meditators for retreats in the Satipatthana Vipassana tradition of Buddhism.

The funds needed for the 6-bed accommodation unit is $AUS 168,000 plus $AUS 62,593 for an external bathroom. It can be divided into a single donation of approximately 38k for a bedroom or two donors’ offering 19k for one bedroom. The bathroom would be included in this cost.

We offer this unique opportunity for donors to make ‘merit’ by contributing towards this project, as your donation will benefit generations of meditators who come to practice Satipatthana Vipassana Meditation at Bodhi Tree.
