Loving Kindness Practice

Lovingkindness is translated from the Pali word Metta, which might also be translated as "friendliness",
kind hearted acceptance", or "love". In this meditation, we begin by reflecting on our basic goodness or good qualities to warm the heart and set the foundation for lovingkindness to arise, and then we intervally recite a series of phrase to cultivate friendliness and acceptance for ourselves, a benefactor or good friend, and a neutral person (stranger).
