Dramatic changes are taking place around us, with or without our knowledge.

Information about the global situation, including predictions and warnings for 2012 and beyond are increasing day by day.

These information are meant to prepare us to face the challenges ahead, and to wake up to the realities of life and the world around us. According to the sayings of the Buddha in the first verse of the Dhammapada:

“MANO PUBBANGAMA DHAMMA…”

Mind is the forerunner of all phenomena …

As such, we need to harness all our positive mental energies with one heart and mind through meditation and prayer for peace, harmony, and stability in the world.

Our efforts, individually and collectively, will make a difference.

Metta in Pali or Maithri in Sanskrit means “loving-kindness” or “boundless love” – love that is unconditional and without boundaries.

Metta, the universal dharmic principle which upholds peace and happiness, is a positive and powerful healing force that transmutes the negative and chaotic energies in the world.

Practised together with wisdom and insight, Metta will transform us all into a caring, compassionate and sustainable community.
