METTA BHAVANA 10-min guide by Bhante Vimalaramsi

The Philippine Theravada Buddhist Fellowship (PTBF) is a homegrown, lay-led community dedicated to the practice and study of early Buddhism. Rather than following a single teacher or lineage, the fellowship learns through trusted digital resources and guidance from various Dhamma teachers. Influenced by the Burmese vipassanā and Thai Forest traditions, PTBF emphasizes meditation and the practical application of the Buddha's teachings over rituals and ceremonies. Based in Metro Manila, the fellowship offers free online sessions that make learning and practice accessible wherever you are. Everyone is welcome to join, whether Buddhist or simply interested in learning and practicing the Dhamma.
