3.24. By samyama on friendliness and other such qualities, the power to transmit them is obtained.

This sutra offers a wonderful way to better our own life and the lives of others. By performing samyama on a desirable quality, such as friendliness, we can attain its benefits.

Spiritual history is filled with stories of sages and saints whose mere presence mysteriously changed the lives of others. Often, without intent or effort, they transmitted these virtuous qualities, just as the sun, without intent, automatically radiates warmth and light.

The four locks and four keys of sutra 1.33 are alluded to here. By extension, we can understand this sutra to imply that we can gain such power with any virtue.
