แผ่เมตตาให้ตัวเอง Radiate metta to yourself

P' Wasan, a good Christian friend of mind said
before radiate metta to others, radiate metta to youself first
ก่อนที่จะแผ่เมตตาให้คนอื่น แผ่เมตตาให้ตัวเองก่อน


Six stages of metta bhavana in Visuddhimagga are
radiating metta or loving kindness towards
1. yourself
2. a good friend
3. a 'neutral' person
4. a difficult person
5. all four (treating them as equal, equally deserve metta)
6. the entire universe

I will practice this, together with "The Path"
