Item Description

May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful, may you be safe. "With every bead that is strung we repeat these wishes both for the person who will ultimately own them and for the benefit of all beings," say the founders of Seeds of Kindness.

The Seeds of Kindness website notes that the the definition for loving-kindness, "the English translation of the Pali word metta, is unconditional well-wishing and openhearted nurturing of ourselves and others, just as we are."

Each one-of-a-kind string of beads is accompanied by a book, The Gift of Loving-Kindness, and CD that explain loving-kindness practice and provide a guided meditation. Seeds of Kindness is happy to work with the successful bidder for this item to assist in their bead selections.

Seeds of Kindness was established by three friends whose professional and spiritual paths had crossed for more than twenty years. Their combined love for beads and the experience of loving-kindness meditation was the motivation for Seeds of Kindness. "We have infused these beads with our compassion and goodwill, and we encourage you to do the same, whether they are for your own use or are to be given as a spiritual gift. Hold them as you meditate or pray for yourself or a friend, or simply ask from your heart that these beads be a symbol of love and peace. May they help to nurture the loving kindness in your life."

Package contains: Loving-kindness beads, pouch, CD and book.
