Buddha is saying "maitri" - I can't help but feel that the previous strip was just a very long run-up to this rather weak joke, I hope he goes somewhere with it.

For those too lazy to Google it:

Mettā (Pāli: मेत्ता) or maitrī (Sanskrit) has been translated as "loving-kindness,"[1][2] "friendliness,"[3][4][5] "benevolence,"[2][4] "amity,"[3] "friendship,"[4] "good will,"[4] "kindness,"[6] "love,"[3] "sympathy,"[3] and "active interest in others."[3] It is one of the ten pāramitās of the Theravāda school of Buddhism, and the first of the four Brahmavihāras. The mettā bhāvanā ("cultivation of mettā") is a popular form of meditation in Buddhism.
