16. Loving Kindness Meditation
“For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being;
naturally at peace, naturally connected,
because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.”
“Loving-kindness and compassion are
the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle,
and sometimes fierce actions
that can really make a difference --
in our own lives and those of others.”
― Sharon Salzberg, Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness
