Metta Sutta | Chanting on Love and Kindness by Buddhist Monk

This Buddhas discourse on Loving Kindness was given to five hundred monks to practice as a meditation and to chant out loud. These monks had gone to Himalayan forest to practise meditation where they saw fearful sights and sounds at night. This was done by the deities who were in the forest as they were worried by the presence of humans in their territory. The monks were so disturbed that they got sick and could not make any progress in their meditation. They decided to leave the place and reported their experiences to the Buddha. The Buddha advised them to return to the forest and taught them the Metta Sutta as an object of meditation, as well as for their protection. Those monks returned to the forest, chanted the Metta Sutta, and practised Metta meditation. By doing so, the devas then had goodwill towards the monks and looked after them. At the end of the Rains Retreat (Vassa), all the five hundred bhikkhus attained enlightenment. Metta Sutta is chanted here by the Sri Lanka Buddhist monk Most Venerable Uduwe Dhammaloka Thero. Video images were shot at Plantation Villa, Sri Lanka.
