Mettā works—how does it work?

💐 Mettā works—how does it work? 

If the mind is pure and one is generating vibrations of mettā, these vibrations can go anywhere, whether to this loka or that loka, this lower field or that higher field—anywhere. 

If we direct our vibrations towards a certain being, certainly it moves towards that being. 

And when it reaches that individual, the being comes into contact with this vibration, and feels very happy, because the vibrations are vibrations of Dhamma, of peace, of harmony.  

When you donate something in the name of someone who has passed away, with the wish, "May the merit of my donation go to so-and-so," then your volition of mettā, this vibration, moves to that person and they will get elated by those vibrations. And because these vibrations are with the base of Dhamma, something or other will happen which will take him or her towards Dhamma. 

🌷 Whether in this life or in a future life, it helps him or her towards Dhamma, then this is how we are helping those who are in lower fields or even in higher fields.
