Metta Sutta

This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: ... Wishing: In gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease.	Karaṇīyam- atthakusalena yaṃ taṃ santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca ... Sukhino vā khemino hontu sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā
Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,	Ye keci pāṇa bhūtatthi tasā vā thāvarā vā anavasesā Dīghā vā ye mahantā vā majjhamā rassakāṇukathūlā
The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born — May all beings be at ease!	Diṭṭhā vā yeva addiṭṭhā ye ca dūre vasanti avidūre Bhūtā vā sambhavesī vā sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā
Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another.	Na paro paraṃ nikubbetha nātimaññetha katthaci naṃ kañci Byārosanā paṭighasaññā nāññamaññassa dukkhamiccheyya
Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings;	Mātā yathā niyaṃ puttaṃ āyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe Evampi sabbabhūtesū mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimānaṃ
Radiating kindness over the entire world Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will.	Mettaṃ ca sabbalokasmiṃ mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimānaṃ Uddhaṃ adho ca tiriyañca asambādhaṃ averaṃ asapattaṃ
Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding....[16]	Tiṭṭhaṃ caraṃ nisinno vā sayāno vā yāvatassa vigatamiddho Etaṃ satiṃ adhiṭṭheyya brahmametaṃ vihāraṃ idhamāhu....[17
