The Benefits of Radiating Loving-kindness



The benefits of loving-kindness are greater than those attainable from the practices of charity and morality. The benefits produced by cultivating loving-kindness for just a short moment are greater than those obtained by offering one hundred pots of cooked rice three times a day.

A person who cultivates loving-kindness can enjoy eleven kinds of benefits according to the teachings of the Buddha.

1. He enjoys a sound sleep. 
2. He wakes up peacefully. 
3. He does not have bad dreams. 
4. He is loved by human beings. 
5. He is loved by non-human beings. 
6. He is guarded by devas. 
7. He is unaffected by fire, poison and weapons. 
8. He can develop concentration quickly. 
9. His face is serene and cheerful. 
10. He never dies in bewilderment. 
11. He may be reborn in the brahma realm when he dies.
