| The monks, they said, had chanted the metta sutta without genuine loving-kindness. |
| Now at last you have put into the harbour of peace and stand before the altar of loving-kindness. |
| But in your books, the power, the actual life force and potency of loving-kindness, comes through so strongly. |
| But before we start doing all that, the Buddha said that we begin by radiating loving-kindness to ourselves. |
| We sit there radiating our loving-kindness in all directions to all beings everywhere. |
| Our hearts become tender while we contemplate this signal act of loving-kindness. |
