Loving kindness, or metta, as it in called in the Pali language, is unconditional, inclusive love, a love with wisdom. Loving kindness meditation is a meditation of care, concern, tenderness, loving kindness, friendship - a feeling of warmth for oneself and others. The practice is the softening of the mind and heart, an opening to deeper and deeper levels of the feeling of kindness, of pure love. Loving kindness is without any desire to possess another. It is not a sentimental feeling of goodwill, not an obligation, but comes from a selfless place. It does not depend on relationships, on how the other person feels about us.
