Description

Mettabhavana is a conceptual piece by Bruce Munro, late 1990s. Munro says the idea came to him in a dream about a building that had a great sense of peace and unity.
So far the building remains a concept but continues to be an ambition of Munro's to build as a place to practice compassionate meditation.
