The mind capable of granting happiness to others is called 'loving-kindness'. When a practitioner in meditative absorption thinks of sentient beings to make them attain happiness, meditative absorption arises among the mental factors; this is called the meditative absorption of loving-kindness. This mind associated with loving-kindness is free of anger, free of hatred, free of enmity, and free of vexation; when skillfully cultivated and realized, it is vast, immeasurable, and pervades the ten directions; hence it is called the immeasurable mind of loving-kindness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.258](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.258) - [Next: 1.260](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.260) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.1.259) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.259](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.259) · Pramāṇa
