May everyone be happy and safe, and may
their

Hearts be filled with joy.

May all living beings live in Security
and in Peace-beings who are frail or strong, tall or
short, big or

already born or yet to be born.

May all of them dwell in perfect
tranquility.

Let no one do harm to anyone. Let no
one put the

Life of anyone in danger. Let no one,
out of anger or

ill will, wish anyone harm.


Metta Sutta, translated
by Thich Nhat Hahn
