With regards to "priest and dhutangas", perhaps anyone can explain the
connotations of the word "metta"? Are there some connotations missed when
translated into English as "love"?

Sometimes I heard people say "What we in the west call
love, buddhists would call attachment". Then, in Tibetan Buddhism "love" is
sometimes defined as "the wish for someone to have hapiness and the causes of
hapiness". Do you agree with these?

Yours
