Synopsis
This is the audiobook version of Wheel Publication 365/366, in which the founder of the Maha Bodhi Society in India explains the ethics, the psychology, the blessings and power of mett?, with instructions on the traditional practice of metta-bhavana meditation.
"But let not metta be mistaken as a mere sentiment. It is the power of the strong. If the leaders from different walks of life were to give metta a fair trial, no principle or guideline to action would be found to possess greater efficiency or fruitfulness in all spheres. If man decides to substitute metta as a policy of action for aggression and ill will, the world will turn into a veritable abode of peace. For it is only when man shall have peace within himself, and boundless goodwill for others, that peace in the world will become enduring."
