Meditation on Kindness
Ananda explains: '… when the Lord Gautama became the Buddha, He blessed His successor, who was to become the Maitreya Buddha, Maitreya meaning kindness. We also translate Maitreya as love, but kindness is the saviour of the New Age, the quality which we have to develop within us and perfect in the outer so that when people speak about the Children of the Heart, they will be talked about as kind.' 1 |
