Greg Berard. On Living a Full Life

Episode 17: Maitri

The Buddhists have a word, called Maitri. Most commonly translated as love or loving-kindness, Maitri also means loving-kindness to oneself and is the foundation of the four virtues, which are:

  1. Loving Kindness
  2. Compassion
  3. Sympathetic Joy
  4. Equanimity
  5. What a perfect word to describe the third pillar of living a full life and being the best version of yourself.
