HAVE A HAPPY ‘METTAFUL’ Valentine’s DAY
Let us rename this day, February 14th, as “Metta Day”…
Let us be reminded of the meaning of “Metta” or “Universal benevolence”, and embrace Metta as the foundation of true compassion in practice, the basis of our humanity.
That word means Universal Goodwill, or Universal Benevolence, or universal interest in the welfare of beings, a concern about the welfare of all beings.
That means it is a broad mind, not a narrow mind.
HAVE A HAPPY METTAFUL DAY!
Send Love when we see Hatred,
Forgiveness when we see Resentment,
Strength when we see Weakness,
Tranquility when we see Chaos,
Humility when we see Conceit,
Peace when we see Hostility,
Courage when we see Fear,
Hope when we see Despair,
Comfort when we see Pain,
Kindness when we see Cruelty,
Compassion when we see Suffering.
May suffering ones be suffering free, the fear-struck fearless be;
May grieving ones shed all grief, may all beings find peace and relief.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
From me with Metta,
