Mettasutta

This is a verbatim reading of the buddhas words in Sutta Nipata 1.8, the mettasutta. In it he describes how we ought have love in our hearts and radiate it towards all living beings. he uses the example of a mother loving her only child, and I think it wise to use the example of an ideal mother, or perhaps a mother figure we find suitable if our own doesn't fit this picture. Through this love, he said, we can surely find liberation.
