My Contemplation for all

Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhasa

By the power and the truth of my practice of the Buddha's teachings,
may All beings have happiness, and the causes of happiness.

May All beings be free from sorrow, and the causes of sorrow.
May All beings never be separated from happiness.

May I live in equanimity,
without attachment or aversion.

May I treasure every moment knowing that all is Impermanent.

May All beings everywhere be filled with joy and peace.
The strong and the weak,
The great and the small,
The meek and the powerful,
The short and the tall,
the subtle and the gross.

May All beings everywhere,
Seen and unseen,
Dwelling far off or nearby,
Being or waiting to become:
May All be filled with lasting joy.

Let no one deceive another,
Let no one despise another,
Let no one out of anger or resentment
Wish suffering on anyone.

Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within my heart let it grow
A boundless love for all creatures.

Let my love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.

Then as I stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as I am awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
By this heaven will be brought to earth.

May All beings be happy and well,

May All beings be free from pain and suffering.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
