Mind of Metta, Mind of Peace | Ajahn Kassapa | Meditation at the Cambodian Society of WA

Ajahn Kassapa delivers a profound meditation talk titled 'Mind of Metta, Mind of Peace' at the Cambodian Society of WA, guiding listeners through the cultivation of inner tranquility and loving-kindness. The talk begins with a grounding body scan and breath awareness practice, emphasizing the importance of returning to the present moment and letting go of mental distractions. He then transitions into a deep exploration of Metta (loving-kindness) meditation, explaining how it serves as a powerful antidote to anger, greed, and delusion. Ajahn Kassapa stresses the necessity of strong ethical foundations—such as the precepts and mindfulness in daily actions—for spiritual progress, illustrating this with the story of Saka and his wife. He highlights the role of noble friends, the Sangha, and the Buddha’s teachings as essential guides on the path to liberation. Throughout, he encourages consistent, small acts of practice—like five minutes a day—as a way to build resilience and inner peace, even amidst life’s challenges.
