The world’s wisdom traditions offer us profound transformational tools for actualizing our best human qualities. Doing so for our own benefit and for the benefit of others may very well be the central spiritual task of a consciously lived life. A core principle of the conscious aging movement involves recognizing the last third of our lives as a time when we can focus more directly on this important task than at any other time in our lives.

David Chernikoff draws on Buddhist and other contemplative teachings to guide us in cultivating and celebrating the blessings of spiritual maturity. We will study and experientially explore lovingkindness. Together we create a safe, supportive learning community as we increasingly embody the wise and loving elders we each have the potential to be.

The word “love” is often a source of confusion for people in modern Western cultures. For some people, it’s almost exclusively associated with romantic relationships. For others, it has distinctly spiritual associations, as in “the love of God” or the phrase “unconditional love.” For yet others, it’s used in mundane ways associated with ordinary daily life. For example, “I love cheesecake.”



To avoid contributing to the confusion, western Buddhist teachers often use the word “lovingkindness” when talking about this profoundly important human quality. Lovingkindness is one translation of the Pali language word metta. Metta is also translated as “unconditional friendliness” or “universal

goodwill.”

In Zen tradition, it’s called “grandmother mind.” In this webinar, David will talk about lovingkindness and lead an experiential exercise. There will be an opportunity for Q&A and a heartfelt discussion of this wonderful human quality.
