With the demands of our daily life,
Will we able to see / recognize the cause of our own suffering and our cognitive bias?
how can we apply the Buddha’s teaching? and learn to become free of this suffering through Metta practice?
This workshop will be based on Dr. Wright’s Metta Map, a three-dimensional cueing device for individuals and groups, designed to recognize and resolve conflict, reduce stress, and achieve clarity of intention. The Metta Map is based on Buddhist principles, and contains within its structure and content the entirety of the Buddha Dhamma. By applying practical daily life examples to the Metta Map, the Map will demostrate the Buddha’s fundamental teaching of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Participants will analyze the elements of the Map, deepening one’s Metta experience, and charting one’s personal journey to Enlightenment. This tool is easy to understand and teach.

Suggested Preliminary studies:
Participants are encouraged to read Dr. Barbara Wright’s books before the workshop.
Dr. Barbara Wright:
Through the culmination of 30 years of private practice, study, and Buddhist meditation, Dr. Barbara Wright has created a “map” of the principles of Mettā, which in Pāli means “loving-kindness for all” or “universal benevolence”. Using this physical map, the “player” can experience the practice of compassionate communication for skillful conflict resolution through bodily movements. The participant also experiences Mettā’s effects on inner — and interpersonal — relationships. Dr. Wright, a speech therapist and clinical psychologist, has practiced Buddhism with Bhikkhu Thanissaro. Her works are widely appreciated and she has been invited to teach internationally.
