  6. Metta
     … When I was in France, someone asked me, “This Metta Monastery you have, do you specialize in metta meditation?” I said “No, we actually specialize in breath meditation, but goodwill meditation is part of the framework, part of the background for the practice.” We’re practicing because we want a happiness that’s harmless—that doesn’t harm ourselves, doesn’t harm anyone else …

  10. Goodwill in Action
     … So we start by developing metta for ourselves. It’s good to reflect on ways in which we’re behaving unskillfully so that we can change them.

  14. Metta Cognition
     … You might call this metta cognition, the things you learn from having goodwill. You don’t learn just by watching things arise and pass away, arise and pass away. You’re not going to learn causation that way. You have to do things, like scientists do. They take an experiment, and they change the conditions and see what happens. They change the conditions again …
