Loving Kindness
One whose wish is to do
Meritorious act with skill
And strive to attain
The highest goal of all,
The state of the Supreme
Should thus possess
The supreme qualities
Of mankind
Thus, he should be
Upright, competent and candid
Gentle, humble and accommodating
Thoroughly, independent and content
Light in bag and baggage
Simple in ways, means and virtues
Discreet, prudent
With sensual desires
In full check of self control
Not greedy, haughty and not bound
By bounty or bondage
To the lineage of family and life
Would dare not err on the tinniest
Of what the wise
Would fear the most
May all beings,
Be happy, content
And safe in their habitat
Without any exception
Of all living beings
That exist
The beings weak or strong
The beings tall or stocky or otherwise
Short or tiny or the chunky
Those to be seen
Or not seen
Those dwelling near or far
Those who are born
Or to be born,
May all beings,
Without any exception,
Be happy and content
Let there be no deceit
Nor despise of nobody
No anger or ill will
Let there be no wish to harm any
Just as the mother would protect
Her only child
Even at the risk of her own life,
May all beings are protected
Thus with that absolute devotion
Let one cultivate
The unfathomed mind
Let there be boundless love
That pervade the universe
Above, below, across
And in all directions
Be there of no hindrance
To that universal love
Or no hatred or enmity
Whether one stands, walks or sits
Lies down
Or as long as
One is awake
One should cultivate the mindfulness
In earnest,
It is the highest
Conduct of all
Devoid of wrong views
Endowed with virtue and insight
One discards all attachments
To any sensuous desires
Truly, he does not come again,
To be reborn again
With the said truth of unanimity, may I be well.
With the said truth of unanimity, may I be free from illness.
With the said truth of unanimity, may I attain the blissful victory
