Excerpt
As a mother at the risk of her life watches over her own child, her only child, so also let every one cultivate a boundless mind towards all beings. And let him cultivate goodwill towards all the world, a boundless mind, above and below and across, unobstructed, without hatred, without enmity.

✨ To meditate on today
According to the Sutta-Nipāta, we are to love all beings as a mother protects her only child, with a goodwill that extends in every direction, without hatred or enmity. Today, choose a person toward whom you feel distance or irritation, and make a thoughtful gesture toward them, as you would for someone you cherish.
