Buddha's Teachings on Loving - Kindness
This is the work of those who are skilled and peaceful, who seek the good: Submitted by Ceilidh
May
they be able and upright, straightforward, of gentle speech and not proud.
May they be content and easily supported, unburdened, with their senses calmed.
May they be wise, not arrogant and without desire for the possessions of others.
May they do nothing mean or that the wise would reprove.
May all beings be happy.
May they live in safety and joy.
All living beings, whether weak or strong, tall, stout, average or short, seen or unseen, near or distant, born or to be born, may they all be happy.
Let no one deceive another or despise any being in any state, let none by anger or hatred wish to harm another.
As a mother watches over her child, willing to risk her own life to protect her only child, so with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings, suffusing the whole world with unobstructed loving kindness.
Standing
or walking, sitting or lying down, during all one's waking hours, may one
remain mindful of this heart and this
way
of living that is the best in the world.
Unattached to speculations, view and sense desires, with clear vision, such a person will never be reborn in the cycles of suffering.
