Attūpamāya sabbesaṁ – sattānaṁ sukha kāmataṁ.
Passitvā kamato mettaṁ – sabbasattesu bhāvaye.

I desire happiness, others also desire happiness. Having compared oneself with others, one should practice loving kindness towards all beings, by realizing that everyone desires happiness.

Loving Kindness Meditation with Bhante Devananda on-site in Bryan Ohio and online Indiana Buddhist Temple.

During Loving Kindness meditation, you recite positive phrases toward yourself and other people. The practice aims to foster a mental state of kindness, love, and compassion. When done regularly, Loving Kindness meditation can help minimize negative emotions toward yourself and others. You’re never too young to practice loving-kindness. Metta meditation allows children to get in touch with their feelings. It can help guide them in sending positive and healing energy to people and kids in other places—even those who have hurt them like a bully at school. Children can develop a sense of power as they gain self-love and compassion for others. The practice is special since it goes beyond cultural barriers, economic situations, educational backgrounds, and geographic locations.
