There’s No Point in Punishing the Car, by Ven. Ananda Maitreya

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu! Excellent Article! What I find Most gratifying and Challenging in teaching the Metta Bhavana is helping the practitioner to FIND the source of the practice: The Metta Within! It is aptly translated as the Cultivation of Loving-Kindness, Not the Creation! We must locate the source within, and they cultivate it’s mental conditions and then we release that which we have grown within.🙏 Again, excellent article! 😄
