Metta Bhavana. Ep - 02: Karaniya Metta Sutta. Ven Laos Abhaddharo Thero IIT

Karaniya Metta Sutta is one of the most well-known sutta in Theravada Tradition. The Buddha taught this sutta to a group of 500 monks who had been disturbed by deities while they were dwelling and practicing meditation at the foothill of the Himalayas, who had come back to the Buddha at Jetavana Monastery. The Buddha then preached to them this sutta as the guideline for cultivating loving-kindness, to provide them sutta chanted for protection as well as for their subject meditation. After learning this sutta by heart in the presence of the Buddha, went back to the same place, chanting this sutta and radiated loving-kindness to all beings. The deities became friendly towards the monks, and served and protected them from danger and disturbance. All the monks practiced comfortably and could attain liberation and became arahants by the end of that rain retreat.
