Be loving and kind all the time.

This is not a letter but my arms about you for a brief moment.

Practice loving kindness wherever you may go.

The key is love
It is the gateway
To hope
To joy
To enhanced living
Love is the answer

You can have all the titles in the world but if you cannot treat others as you would yourself, you have no love to give!

Maitri can be translated as "love" or "loving kindness". Some Buddhist teachers prefer "loving kindness" as they find the word "love" too dangerous. But I prefer the word "love". Words sometimes get sick and we have to heal them. We have been using the word "love" to mean appetite or desire, as in "I love hamburgers". We have to use language more carefully. "Love" is a beautiful word; we have to restore its meaning. The word "maitri" has roots in the word mitra which means friend. In Buddhism, the primary meaning of love is friendship.
