CAN WE BE TOO KIND & CARING THAT IT OBSTRUCTS DAILY LIFE? - Metta Q&A

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. In this segment, we look at the question of "CAN WE BE TOO KIND & CARING THAT IT OBSTRUCTS DAILY LIFE?" by:  looking at how the practise of metta results in a refinement of one's virtue (body, speech and mind);  revisiting how it's important to cultivate the ten skilled states (dasakusala)  providing another way of contemplating the ten skilled states to reinforcing these core virtues;  highlighting the Buddha's teaching on "Mind is the chief forerunner of all unwholesome states";  mentioning the Story of Cakkhupala Thera; and  taking a quick look at what Buddha teaches on cause, diversity, result and cessation of kamma.   Suttas mentioned in this segment:  Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Sn1.8)  Saṃsappanīya Sutta (AN 10.216)  Vatthūpama Sutta (MN7)  Cakkhupalatthera Vatthu (Dhp 1)  Nibbedhika Sutta (AN 6.63)   Bohoma pin to the young person who asked this Dhamma question.
