Meditation on Loving Kindness
Mettā Bhāvanā
May I be free from hate to anyone!
May I be free from anger to anyone!
May I be free from all suffering!
May I be free from disease!
May I be happy and well at all times!
By the power of infinite Buddha virtue,
May I be free from hate to anyone!
May I be free from anger to anyone!
May I be free from all suffering!
May I be free from disease!
May I be happy and well at all times!
By the power of infinite Buddha virtue,
Let there arise no hateful thoughts in my mind!
Let there arise no angry thoughts in my mind!
Let there arise no thoughts of ill will in my mind!
By the power of infinite Buddha virtue,
Let there arise no thoughts of jealousy in my mind!
Let there arise no thoughts of conceit in my mind!
Like me, let all priests living in this temple be free from hate,
Let them be free from anger.
Let them be happy and well!
Like me, let all priests living in this temple
and all lay people living here
Be free from hate and enmity and anger!
Like me, let all gods, humans and non-humans
living in every direction around this temple
be free from hate, enmity and anger!
Let them be happy and well at all times!
Like me, let all gods, humans and non-humans
and all beings living in all directions from this temple
be free from hate, enmity and anger!
Let them be happy and well at all times!
