"Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth."

NAMASTE
The meaning of 'Namaste': 'I honor  that place in you where the whole Universe resides. And when I am in that place in me and you are in that place in you, there is only one of us.'

METTA
Often when you receive a note, or read a discourse you will see the salutation "With Metta". Here is a description of that term. The Pali word Mettá (loving Kindness) has two root meanings:
"Gentle" - like a gentle rain that falls upon the earth; it does not choose where it falls, it simply falls without discrimination.
"Friend" - someone who is constant in our times of happiness and also in our times of unhappiness.
