@Lal,
“Love is a complex word. It can have sexual connotations” true however in the case of my post there was no sexual connotation.
Pali words: i already memorised some as tilakhanna (anicca, anatta, dukkha), sansara, sankhara, patica samupaddha,abisankhara, micca ditthi, dasa akusala, asava,sanna, sati and others, but i still have to get into the habit of using them…such will come soon.
Metta/compassion and/or love: there is some subjectivity to be dealt with here, if i may. Because compassion can be seen as a form of love but a love that doesn’t “tie” us (hopefully) thus compatible with Pure Dhamma.
I’m acquainted with Ariya Metta.
Thanks
