Anagārika Pasannacitta
Hi! My name is Pasannacitta. I am a pre-monastic Early Buddhist ācariya, an ariya-puggala (sakadāgāmi), and a full-time Buddhist anagārika. I work with dedicated Buddhists practitioners to help them attain measurable progress toward Nibbāna. This special kind of one-on-one training isn't readily available to lay practitioners.  If you are interested in joining our growing student community to make veritable progress toward Nibbāna, please visit my training page to learn more; or contact me to discuss becoming a Buddhist trainee today.

How to Do Analytical Meditation and Mettā Meditation Correctly

Context: 
A student reached out to me via email for something quick, and being in-between student sessions, I had a few minutes to hop onto a brief video call to answer his question. Here is the recording of that off-the-cuff, momentary interaction.
​
The Student Question: 
​"I think I know how to do analytical meditation, but I want clarification on how to do it. I've been inspired to use mettā for the contemplation, but what is the interplay between contemplating and resting in silence? I feel like resting in silence may be a part of it."
Summary:
  • Sadly, most people are doing  mettā meditation (i.e., loving-kindness meditation) ineffectively. Why is this?  Because there are very few people who are actually teaching others how to do it correctly, and many of them are hidden away in Buddhist monasteries.
  • Many people also have questions about what analytical meditation is and how to do the many contemplative meditation practices which exist. 
  • In this brief dharma talk, I instruct on some critical points for doing mettā meditation correctly that few teachers ever talk about. 
    • Clear instructions on how to actually generate and cultivate genuine and powerful feelings of lovingkindness, appreciation, gratitude, and compassion while doing mettā meditation.
    • How mettā meditation and analytical meditation (i.e., contemplative meditation) differ from one another.
    • How to do analytical meditation correctly to gain the most value out of our time on the cushion.
