Buddhist Scriptures on Love

Just as water cools
both good and bad
and washes away all
impurity and dust.

157. Tath'eva tvam pi ahitahite
samam mettaya bhavaya
mettaparamitam gantva
sambodhim papunissasi.

In the same way you should develop thoughts
of love to friend and foe alike,
and having reached perfection in love,
you will attain enlightenment.

"When, Sir, I had retired and was alone this was the reflection that arose in my mind: Who loves himself? Who does not love himself? And then, Sir, I thought: Those who practice wrong conduct by body, speech and thought, they do not love themselves. Even though they should say, 'We love ourselves,' yet they do not love themselves. What is the reason? They do to themselves what a hater would do to someone he hates. Therefore they do not love themselves.
