Metta, or loving-kindness, is the practice of cultivating a friendly and accepting attitude towards ourselves, our experience and all other beings. As we cultivate this quality through intensive practice, we can find that it can become our default response to life, rather than the conditioned habits of aversion, fear or grasping.
Loving kindness (metta) is a mental state that can be developed through openness of our heart, thereby experiencing greater freedom of this mind/state.
