What is a Metta Circle?
Metta Circles provide a platform for connecting like-minded people to:
- practise loving-kindness meditation together; and
- provide spiritual support for one another, irrespective of caste, colour or creed.
As small groups of people practising together and supporting each other, Metta Circles harness the energies of loving-kindness to help build communities based on love and compassion, and promote world peace, harmony and stability.
