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)
