Metta (Loving-Kindness) Sutra
By Shakyamuni Buddha
May all beings be happy.
May they be joyous and live in safety.
All living beings, whether weak or
strong, in high or middle, or low
realms of existence, small or great,
visible or invisible,
near or far, born or to be born,
May all beings be happy.
Let none deceive another nor despise
any being in any state; let none
by anger or hatred wish harm to another.
Even as a mother at the risk of her life
watches over and protects her only child,
so with a boundless mind should
one cherish all living things,
suffusing love over the entire
world, above, below, and all around
without limit;
so let each cultivate an
infinite good will toward the whole world.
