S1 Ep37: "A Battle Hard to Win" by Paul Harris

What can we do when the mind is gripped by resentment? The Buddha encouraged students not to repay mean and hurtful behaviour in kind. Instead he taught loving-kindness as a way to respond positively. This talk explains various reflections we can employ to help release ourselves from resentment when it arises. When we can send out metta equally to everyone, including those with whom we have experienced difficulties, then we can be said to have won a battle hard to win.

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.          

This talk was given in November 2014.
