What is Metta?
1.
Metta is a sincere wish for the welfare and genuine happiness of all beings, without exception.
As you meet friends, silently wish them these blessings:
Metta – may you be free from danger, happy, peaceful, strong, healthy, and have ease of being.
Karuna – may you be free from suffering.
Mudita – may your wisdom and goodness ever increase.
Upekha – although I have these wishes for you, you are the heir to your own karma. Your happiness depends on your own actions and not my wishes for you.
