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)
