On the last day of a Metta Retreat, Bhante discusses how to apply what you have learned to your daily life and how to bring loving-kindness to everything you do, not just sitting on the cushion! This is bringing the Dhamma home and living it!
Using Keys to remind yourself to practice Metta is suggested.

Bhante relates various stories to illustrate his points:

Visiting hospital patients using Metta. How to use Compassion. What is Compassion? It is not pity.
Story about Pilot who gets cancer and Bhante teaches Metta to while he is dying.
Running out of Gas on the Freeway with Piyadassi Thera.
Using Metta to pass your Exams.
The Practice of doing 3 postures to cut down on sleeping- Taungpulu Sayadaw never lay down.
Radiating Metta into water, crystals.
