B. Alan Wallace, 20 Aug 2015

Alan begins the day relating something on BBC news which amused him and everyone else when he recalled it.

The meditation was again on loving kindness. Alan explained that we use our imagination to increase vividness. By way of imagination we visualise ourselves as luminous, transparent. Loving kindness meditation begins with ourselves, then spreads to the people right next to us, then gradually increases further and further until all sentient beings are included. The spreading of loving kindness is visualised as a sphere of white light emanating from the heart.

Meditation starts at 10:06
