We've been there and done that. It's why I removed it.
It reappeared however so feel free to respond.
@Gem, I'm unsure of why you share the with metta considerations.
But if it pleases you you may infer my message endings in much the same way..

'There is a difference between instruction and how to practice.'
This part is interesting as I personally have been instructed to practise Buddhism in a certain way which I found to be an insult to Buddha's teachings, instructed with Metta so they said
I don't believe Buddha instructed as I mentioned to Gem previously but rather advised. If I had folowed the instruction given in the Sangha I attended then I most certainly wouldn't have been practicing ' Metta ' .
Would I have been practising Buddhism..... in their eyes yes I would but not according to Buddha's teachings.
