When Love Becomes a Practice, Not Just a Feeling

Have you ever noticed how the people who hurt us most are often the ones suffering most themselves? Sharon Salzberg discovered this truth in 1971 while studying meditation in India, where she encountered an ancient practice called "metta"-lovingkindness. What she learned wasn't about forcing warm feelings toward everyone or pretending pain doesn't exist. Instead, she discovered something far more radical: that our capacity to love isn't a personality trait some people have and others lack, but a skill we can systematically develop. Think of it like learning to play an instrument. You don't need to be born musical to practice scales, and you don't need to be naturally compassionate to practice lovingkindness. The Dalai Lama's famous declaration that "my religion is kindness" isn't just poetic-it's practical. In a world increasingly fractured by division, Salzberg offers a 2,500-year-old technology for cultivating four transformative qualities: love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. These aren't abstract ideals but trainable mental states that can revolutionize how we relate to ourselves, others, and the inevitable difficulties of being human.
