Lovingkindness is the quality of friendliness toward oneself and others
developed through the practice of metta. This talk describes how the
practice works as a protection, a healing, a purification of heart, and a
boundless state of mind.
"When the heart enters into the mind, the mind then has quite a different quality." Learning to abide in our practice and in our life as a whole with kindness and patience--the heart of metta--we are then able to respond rather than react to what life offers. Stories woven into this talk are from the time of the Buddha and from our contemporary time that exemplify what the Buddha called "The Lion's Roar."
