Loving Kindness is the wish to bring happiness. Usually we direct our love to those near us. In Buddhism we aim to extend that to all beings.
How do we do that?
We need to start where we are, and step by step cultivate our ability to open our hearts.

Bodhicitta is the wish to gain enlightenment in order to benefit all beings. It includes the practices developing our own potential, the open loving heart.
This includes the following meditations:
- Loving Kindness: loving and accepting both ourselves and others.
- Equanimity: Exploring our likes, dislikes and indifference to people around us.
- Tong Len, or Giving and Taking, a powerful practice using the breath to deal with the suffering in the world. Very appropriate since it connects with the theme of Easter.
- Compassion, using a simple Chenrezig practice, using visualisation and mantra to deepen and strengthen our compassion.
