Increase Metta

allow our hearts to hold much loving-kindness in a great capacity, for all beings, animated, non-animated for they are the same as us. Vulnerable to suffering and decay.

Thanks Jon, it’s an lndian language called pali which is the earliest Buddhist text . “Metta means lovingkindness. In metta the heart opens unconditionally, encompassing all that is, with acceptance, awareness, and good will.” (definition from the metta foundation)
