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!
