You are about to listen in to a conversation between Leigh Brasington and the entire staff of Shambhala Publications.

Leigh is the author of Right Concerntation: A Practical Guide to the Jhanas and is the editor of the newly released The Path of Peace: A Buddhist Guide to Cultivating Loving-Kindness based on talks of his teacher, the Ven Aya Khemma.

You will hear Leigh discuss Ayya Khema and her life, and having her as a teacher. He then discusses metta, or Loving Kindness meditation, answers some questions about it including how it relates to sammatha, vipassana, and the path to enlightenment. He then leads a guided metta meditation taught to him by Ayya Khema. We conclude with a short clip from the audiobook edition of The Path to Peace.
