Dear friends, In this letter, I am going to present you loving-kindness from Buddhist Literature. The Metta Sutta Loving-kindness He who is skilled in good, who wishes to attain that state of calm, should act thus:- He should be able, upright, perfectly upright, obedient, gentle and humble. Contented, easily supportable, with few duties, of light livelihood, with senses controlled, discreet, not impudent, not be greedily attached to families. He should not commit any slight wrong that other wise men might censure him. May all beings be happy and secure, may their hearts be wholesome! Whatever living beings there be---feeble or strong, long, stout or medium, short, small or large, seen or unseen, those dwelling far or near, those who are born or those who are to be born---may all beings without exception be happy-minded! Let none deceive another nor despise any person whatever in any place. In anger or ill-will let him not wish any harm to another. Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, even so let him cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings. Let his thoughts of boundless love pervade the whole world above , below and across without any obstruction, without any hatred, without any enmity. Whether he stands, walks, sits or lies down, as long as he is awake, he should develop this mindfulness. This, they say, is the highest conduct here. I will stop my letter here and I am going to present you more letters that concerns morality, education and development. With Best Wishes, Yours Sincerely Thet Zaw
