Exploring Buddhism

This text provides brief information on views of Buddhism. There is no claim to completeness. This is intended to provide an accessible understanding and to enable you to engage in meditation. Different views may stand side by side with equanimity. Do not make a conflict out of it and put aside the views that do not seem appropriate and stay with what is right for you in your heart. This introduction contains five aspects: There is a reference to the origin of metta meditation and an explanation of the terms meditation and metta meditation. Secondly, there is a look at the Buddha's recommendation to monks to practise metta meditation and a look at the Buddha's explanation of metta. Thirdly, we look at the Buddha's reference to Buddha-nature, the true nature of the mind, as well as explanations by the meditation master and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism Dudjom Rin'potsche. The fourth section looks at the differentiation of metta as loving-kindness compassion from the need to be conformed. The independence of metta is seen, which knows unity with all that exists and the observance of the attitude of equanimity. Fifthly, the emptiness of things, the clarity of mind and the wish to realize Bodhichitta` the enlightenment mind or enlightenment thought can be observed. Much joy, relaxation and success with this discovering meditation.
