Devon Hase: Your Inner Guide

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) A reflection on how boundless Metta naturally becomes gratitude and generosity. Grounded in early teachings, elemental presence, embodied practice, and the simple movement of a heart learning to give freely.

Devin Berry: Morning Reflection: The Heart that Gives Itself Away

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) Metta is a profound shift in perspective, linking the astronauts overview effect with the Buddha's teachings on Boundlessness. Through story, reflection and classical teaching, we explore how the heart opens beyond "me", revealing clarity, shared belonging and the identity shift that makes compassion the only sane response.
