Video: The Metta Sutta

This is a wonderful teaching from Lama Shenpen on the Metta Sutta and the power of love and compassion:

“Love and compassion are not contrived, it’s our default nature. You can’t crank it up, the more we let go of our struggle and anxiety, the more it comes out naturally…”

Donations

You are invited to make a donation to the Shrimala Trust in appreciation of Lama Shenpen’s teachings. It is customary in Buddhism to practise generosity or ‘Dana’, making an offering to the teacher acknowledging and appreciating the generosity of the teachings, creating an energy exchange that augments the mandala.

If everyone donated the price of a cup of coffee each week, we could help fund the future activities of Lama Shenpen and ensure the archive of teachings can be continued to be accessed free of charge.

Thank you for any contribution you are willing or able to make.
