| Metta works, partly in a clear way, partly mysteriously, to help us lead with our hearts, develop deeper concentration, unergo an often challenging process of purification and touch the depths of our being. As we practice, we work through a number of challenges - distraction, sleepiness, the restless mind and body, and the near and far enemies of metta - attached love and ill-will for enemies, particularly harsh judgment of self and others. |

| Lovingkindness is presented as a "subset" of mindfulness: Attention to the third foundation of mindfulness, specifically the presence (or absence) of good will in the mind. Meditation is presented as a technique for letting go of all limiting stories (fixed views) that inhibit us from becoming the fully loving (and tolerant) people we could be. |

| Abbot Heng Sure uses his 12 string guitar and a beautiful singing voice very remanicent of Bill Monroe to interpret three songs literally from the Pali Canon about the process of enlightenment.
The first is called "Ballad of Yashodhara." Yashodhara was the Buddha's
wife and the song expresses Buddha's the reasons why he has to leave her.
The second song is "These are the Greatest Blessings" is a response to a deva who comes asking Buddha how to live correctly and what the greatest blessings are. And this song is the sutra of his response.
The third is song "Nothing Can't Exist" by Master Yongjia's Song. Heng Sure also tells the interesting story of this monk's acknowledgement by the Sixth Chinese Patriarch. Heng Sure's tells the story in a very bluegrassy sort of way. The song itself expresses Yongjia's understanding of Nirvana. The first verse goes: "Don't seek for the true; don't cut off out the false. Know that False and True alike are gone without a trace. Not a trace itself is gone. Then empty emptyness. You've found the Thus Come One's true mark where nothing can't exist."
