Mettā, friendliness or loving-kindness, is goodwill toward all beings without exception. The Karaṇīya Mettā Sutta compares it to a mother’s love for her only child. It is cultivated in meditation and expressed in conduct, and is the antidote to ill will.
Mettā
Loving-kindness: the wish for all beings to be happy, the first of the divine abodes.
