## Resource

This is the first in a five part series by Padmavajra on all aspects of the Metta Bhavana practice and 'The Great Love' in Buddhist discourse and practice - from metta (loving kindness) itself to Bodhichitta. His starting point here is to source notions of love in traditional teaching from the Pali Canon and in the great Mahayana sutras. A refreshing take on metta and how to cultivate it in your life. Excerpted from the talk entitled Introducing the Great Love given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre , 2004. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
