Loving Kindness Supported by Generosity & Virtue | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri

On occasion of Easter, Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about a subject that is common to virtually all religions: Loving Kindness.

Loving Kindness, in Pali known as 'Mettā', is the intention of unconditional good will to all beings without exeception or discrimination.

Whatever religion, or no religion at all, whatever race or nationality or sex or age or colour, whether they like us or hate us, the Buddha urges to have loving kindness to absolutely all beings, without exception, without expecting anything in return, without them having to fulfill any conditions for receiving our loving kindness.

We also include all animals, all ghosts, spirits, demons, fairies, nagas, devas, angels, gods, brahmas in our loving kindness - absolutely all beings, visible or invisible.

We practice generosity, dāna, as an expression of our loving kindness.

We observe sīla, the five precepts of fundamental Buddhist virtue, as an extenal manifestation of our intentions of loving kindness.
