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.
