Metta is a Pali word and means “loving-kindness” or “boundless love”. It is a wish for all sentient beings to be well and happy. It is also referred to as boundless or universal love, a love that transcends all barriers, such as caste, colour or creed. The English Section of KBS also participated in the reciting of loving-kindness.
Metta Round the World is an activity to radiate Metta or loving kindness for at least 15 minutes on *New Moon and *Full Moon days and dedicate the merits for peace, harmony, and stability in the world. Those who wish to practice more often or for longer duration are most encouraged to do so.
