Think, happy, at rest: May all beings be happy at heart Whatever beings there may be, weak or strong, without exception Long, large, middling or short Subtle or blatant Seen or unseen Near or far Born or seeking birth May all beings be happy at heart Let no one deceive another Nor despise anyone anywhere Or through anger or irritation Wish for another to suffer Even as a mother would risk her life for her child, her only child Even so should one cultivate a limitless heart With regard to all beings With good will for the entire universe Cultivate a limitless heart Above, below and all around Unobstructed, without enmity or hate Whether standing, sitting, walking or lying down As long as one is alert One should be resolved on this mindfulness This is called a sublime abiding in the here and now Not taken with views, But virtuous and consummate in vision Having subdued desire for sensual pleasures One never again will lie in the womb. https://youtube/watch?v=it94br0BxJ8
