The Healing Power of Loving-Kindness
Loving-kindness is the thought of wishing total happiness for others and putting that wish into practice. It is the thought of unconditioned, pure, and universal love towards all beings without attachment, self-centeredness, or expectation of rewards.
There are many ways to generate loving kindness. But in this workshop, we first visualize and pray to the Buddha of Loving-Kindness and Compassion (Avalokitesvara) and enjoy his blessing light of loving-kindness. As a result, thoughts and feelings of pure loving kindness - the pure qualities of our own mind - will be awakened in the depths of our heart. Then our mental, emotional, and physical energies spontaneously start blazing forth as the energy of pure love. Finally, whatever we see, hear, and feel will turn into the images, sounds, and experiences of unconditioned love. Then our lives will become cheerful lives of true loving-kindness - the source of peace and joy for many.
