Hahahaha... Thaths, I don't know if you are serious, but I have read the Pali Canon in the original. In Pali. I am also familiar with the Sanskrit language. You know what is the funny thing about this? I was told exactly the same thing in exactly the same words by someone on one of the Buddhist Debate forums. Turns out I knew exactly what I was talking about.
For a discussion on the word "metta", I would encourage you to start a new thread. It is related to the Sanskrit word "maitri". You would, no doubt, have heard the Sanskrit hymn "maithreem bhajatham" by Chandrasekharendra Saraswati. (Rendered very mellifluously by M.S. Subbulakshmi) It is the same word, except in Pali. Hope that is helpful in understanding what the word "metta" signifies. Best wishes. - James On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 8:04 PM, Thaths <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 12:50 PM James Bonilla <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > With metta... > > > You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means. > > Thaths >
