Meditation of Compassion
We then worked with a meditation experiment. In the first part of it, we imagined someone that we feel a very natural and spontaneous love for, in order to evoke that quality, to feel it. The instruction was to not focus on the person, but on the quality that we feel. So, as soon as the image of the person came into our imagination and we started to feel that emotion, that care for them, love for them, that feeling became the object of our concentration, that quality, and how it affects us.
Then, subsequently, in the final phase of practice, we were to imagine having that quality for everyone on the planet, a type of universal love.
