This is what should be done
By one who
is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let
them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in
speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily
satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their
ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud
and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest
thing
That the wise would later reprove.
Wishing: In
gladness and in saftey,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever
living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong,
omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or
small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far
away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be at
ease!
Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in
any state.
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon
another.
Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child,
her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish
all living beings:
Radiating kindness over the entire
world
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the
depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and
ill-will.
Whether standing or walking, seated or lying
down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this
recollection.
This is said to be the sublime abiding.
By not
holding to fixed views,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of
vision,
Being freed from all sense desires,
Is not born
again into this world.
