Loving-kindness is the first of the Four Immeasurables.
“The word for loving-kindness in Sanskrit is maitri, or metta in Pali, which is related to the word for “friend.” A prosaic translation of this word is simply “friendliness.” In English, friendliness describes a mode of behavior – a friendly way of behaving. That’s certainly a component of the meaning intended here, but loving-kindness is essentially a quality of the mind, although of course it expresses itself in behavior. The essential nature of loving-kindness is a yearning that the person on whom you are focusing your mind be well and happy.”
– Dr. B Alan Wallace, The Four Immeasurables (emphasis added).
Dr. Wallace recorded a total of 48 guided meditations with Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB), all of which can be found on the CEB Soundcloud page.
