Love on one another

I bet there's almost as many Bible cites in the "Eastern Thought" section over here as can be found over there in "Abrahamic religions." Somebody always wants to Christianize Buddhism it seems....

There was only one previous mention of Buddhism in this thread, and that was only in passing.

Alrighty, then. The excerpt from the following article reflects the OP.

The Four Sublime States
Excerpt:

Four sublime states of mind have been taught by the Buddha:

• Love or Loving-kindness (metta)
• Compassion (karuna)
• Sympathetic Joy (mudita)
• Equanimity (upekkha)

<...>

These four — love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity — are also known as the boundless states (appamañña), because, in their perfection and their true nature, they should not be narrowed by any limitation as to the range of beings towards whom they are extended. They should be non-exclusive and impartial, not bound by selective preferences or prejudices. A mind that has attained to that boundlessness of the Brahma-viharas will not harbor any national, racial, religious or class hatred.

Much more at link...
