It begins with YOU
In Buddhism, maitri (loving kindness) is the first of four virtues to cultivate and live.
.
🕉
In Sanskrit it is मैत्री (Maitrī) and in Pali मेत्ता (Mettā)
🕉
.
The essence of this teaching and prayer is loving kindness. While many try to practice loving kindness in dealing with others we often forget that the practice must begin with ourselves.
💜
Are you showing loving kindness to yourself? .
In your words/thoughts, nourishment and rest?
Are you showing up for yourself the way you are for those you love?
💜
It is imperative we treat ourselves with the same understanding, loving kindness, and forgiveness we so lovingly give to the most important people in our lives. If you cannot have compassion for yourself you will never truly be able to show loving kindness and compassion to others.
