MettāVerses

What is mettā? Mettā (Pali) or maitrī (Sanskrit) is often translated as “unconditional loving kindness” or simply “kindness.” It is the gentle and friendly wish that others be well and do what needs to be done to find such wellbeing. In the Mettā Sutra, the Buddha instructs his monastics (monks and nuns) to meditate on loving kindness for all living beings to be safe and happy. Mettā as a practice begins with wishing for happiness for oneself, and then extends that wish to others. In other contexts, mettā is one of the factors that motivates the bodhisattva to save all beings from suffering.
