Metta is the ability to embrace all parts of ourselves, as well as all parts of the world. Practicing metta illuminates our inner integrity because it relieves us of the need to deny different aspects of ourselves.

We all want to be happy. We need to expand the notion of what that means, to make it bigger and wiser.

Everyone loses touch with their aspiration, and we need the heart to return to what we really care about. All of this is based on developing greater lovingkindness and compassion.

We don’t need any sort of religious orientation to lead a life that is ethical, compassionate & kind.
