Can someone provide online resources to learn Vipassana and Metta?

Question

Anything like a PDF or a website link or a podcast audio is OK for me :)

I also recommend Allan Wallace's podcasts, he has 40 years of experience and is a very good meditation teacher.

Also, check out his books. He has written many, so I won't be specific. But try browsing him by subject and see what you like.

For me personally I've gotten a lot of direct help from people on this forum too. There are many very experienced, helpful and competent guys here.

Mr. Concept

Do you know, which of the podcasts on the page you linked to are resources for Metta and/or Vipasanna meditation? – ChrisW Dec 03 '15 at 22:16
I can ask the guy who gave me the link, I'm meeting him tomorrow. – Mr. Concept Dec 04 '15 at 06:52
Hi ChrisW, I think this one from fall 2012 is on vipassana, http://media.sbinstitute.com/courses/fall2012/ – Mr. Concept Dec 06 '15 at 08:37
Thank you (I edited the answer because for answers to a [tag:reference-request] it's probably more helpful to give a specific reference to the thing requested -- instead of a link to a web site which might contain the thing requested somewhere, leaving the OP still to search for it). – ChrisW Dec 06 '15 at 09:03

The Wildmind website provides instructions on several types of meditation practiced in the Triratna Buddhist Community. The techniques include, among others, the lovingkindness meditation (mettā bhāvāna).
