Zen boundless compassion (Ji) meditation

Guided Zen compassion' (or Ji in Japanese) practice led by Zen master Daizan Skinner.
Recorded on our Zen Compassion retreat, November 2019. On this retreat we explored the little-known Shimuryo Zammai (Four Boundless Meditations) taught by Rinzai Zen Master Torei (1721-1792). Torei taught that successful Zen practice is possible without these practices but when you add these in to your schedule they smooth and speed your way. If you're hindered by negativity, hatred, jealousy, agitation and impatience you'll find benefit in the Four Boundless Meditations.
May all beings be free from suffering.
Many thanks to James Newton for the transcription/subtitles.
