Or we can practice:
In our relationship to and how we respond to
what is happening to us

the nature of reality itself
Practice is like a three-legged stool, with three key elements. In Pali: Metta. Sati. Bhavana. — loosely translated into English: Loving. Knowing. Growing.
This talk and meditation featured several quotations which can be found under the video players below.

Meditation: The Essence of Practice – Loving, Knowing, and Growing
This talk touched on the three elements of practice: Loving, Knowing, and Growing.
Here are the quotes Rick offered for each:
— LOVING —
May all beings be happy and secure.
May all beings be happy at heart!
Omitting none, whether they are weak or strong,
seen or unseen, near or distant, born or to-be-born:
May all beings be happy.
Let none deceive another,
or despise anyone anywhere,
or through anger or ill will wish for another to suffer.
Just as a mother would protect her child, her only child,
with her own life,
even so you should cultiva
