The Buddhist insight into love is that it is fundamental, primal and unlimited. Metta, love, translated sometimes as boundless friendliness, or loving kindness, is the first of the 4 Brahmaviharas. They are sacred because they are immeasurable. We mostly limit our love to addresses which feel safe, such as a particular person, family, group, tribe, nation, organization, and most powerfully, ourselves. But the practice of metta is to keep expanding the boundaries of our love. To loosen the control of our conditioned mind over the heart until it becomes a liberating sense of total relationship and belonging. This talk on metta was given at a Tovana retreat in July 2025.
