Loving-kindness is the way of all religions. It is the essence of the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer, is the foundation of the Shinto virtues of kiyoki and akaki kokoro, sits at the heart of the Jain principle of ahimsa, and guides the Golden Rule of all major faiths. It has no allegiance to any particular culture, and discriminates between no one and nothing in its attention. Taking an interfaith perspective, the book describes why cultivating loving-kindness is essential for anyone who is set upon a spiritual path.
