Want to Read $ 10.99"Tâm từ là một thái độ hơn là một suy nghĩ, giống như lòng biết ơn, lòng trắc ẩn và sự đồng cảm. Tâm từ là cảm giác yêu thương, nhân từ và thái độ cảm thông đối với mọi chúng sinh, có cùng nổi đau đớn và sầu khổ của chúng ta, đều mong mỏi được yêu thương, an toàn, tự do và yên bình; cùng chia sẻ niềm vui, lòng nhân từ và quan tâm đến nhau. Khi ta luyện tập rải tâm từ, ta tập trung vào ai đó - vào chính mình, vào người khác hay vào một hiện tượng cụ thể, như cơn đau lưng, vấn đề nào đó trong tâm, tình hình thế giới v.v... rồi chúng ta rải thái độ từ tâm hay yêu thương vào những đối tượng ấy."-Rose Elliot, I Met a Monk: 8 Weeks to Happiness, Freedom and Peace
