Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes

Maitri Can Be Translated As "love" Or "loving Kindness". Some Buddhist Teachers Prefer "loving Kindness" As They Find The Word "love" Too Dangerous. But I Prefer The Word "love". Words Sometimes Get Sick And We Have To Heal Them. We Have Been Using The Word "love" To Mean Appetite Or Desire, As In "I Love Hamburgers". We Have To Use Language More Carefully. "Love" Is A Beautiful Word; We Have To Restore Its Meaning. The Word "maitri" Has Roots In The Word Mitra Which Means Friend. In Buddhism, The Primary Meaning Of Love Is Friendship.
