The First Perfect Virtue - Loving-Kindness

Over the next four weeks, I'll be sharing with you each of the perfect virtues as it pertains to the Buddhist Philosophy. The first perfect virtue being "Loving-Kindness".

These virtues are some of the core teachings that the Buddha shared during his life, and really are the mind states that are practiced by all enlightened beings. When properly put into practice, they create an atmosphere of ease in the mind, and also guide us like a North Star to do the right actions in life and to live in a way that is morally sound. They are removers of tension, and can really allow for peace to be felt both internally and also during times of social conflict. I find that they are wonderful tools to explore when you wish to heal the wounded inner child that we all know and try to love.  

The four perfect virtues or divine abodes are: Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Happiness, and Equanimity.
