May I be happy. May I preserve my happiness and live without enmity. May all beings be prosperous and happy; May they be of joyful mind, all beings that have life, be they feeble or strong, be they minute or vast, visible or invisible, near or afar, born or are to be born, let all beings be joyful.
Let no one deceive another, let none be harsh in speech, let none by anger or hatred wish ill to his neighbour. Even as a mother, at the risk of her life, watches over and protects her only child, so with a boundless heart of compassion I cherish all living beings, suffusing love over the entire world, above and all around without limit; thus I cultivate an infinite good will toward the whole world.
Standing or walking, sitting or lying down, during all my waking hours, I cherish the thought that this way of loving is the noblest in the world.
Thus shall I, by abandoning vain discussions and controversies, by walking righteously, be endowed with insight, subdue the longing for the pleasures of the senses, and never again know rebirth. May this also be the cause for all other sentient beings to be fulfilled in the conditions leading to their attainment of Nibbana. May all sentient beings escape the dangers of old age, disease and death. May all beings be liberated.
