The Five Stages of Metta Bhavana is a short film which muses on the Buddhist meditation practice using an interesting analogy of one old, aesthetic rocking chair, and four plastic chairs that are painted white. As the narrator peacefully sheds off her insecurities with each rock of the comfortable, wooden chair, a glistening mirror appears on one of the white chairs, a shadow of the past on another, a commoner, member of the crowd on the next, and finally, a nightmare on the last one.
The four elements represent various barriers one needs to cross to cultivate a loving, compassionate bond with nature and its beings- starting with accepting oneself and concluding with reconciling with the dark, hurtful past. The film advocates living in peace and happiness with similes that indeed go a long way.
