Majjhima Nikaya. I,126


When you speak to others you might speak at the right time or at the wrong time, according to fact or not, gently or harshly, about the goal or not, with a mind full of love or with a mind full of hatred.
You should train yourself like this:

‘Our minds will not be perverted nor will we utter evil speech, but kindly and compassionate we will live with a mind free from hatred and full of love.
We will live having suffused first one person with a mind full of love and beginning with them, suffuse the whole world with a love that is far reaching, widespread, immeasurable, without enmity, without malevolence.’


This is how you should train yourself.
