who wishes to attain that state of calm
(i.e. Nibbana) should act thus.
He should be able, upright, perfectly upright,
obedient, gentle and humble.
Contented, easily looked after,
with few duties, simple in livelihood.
Controlled in senses, discreet, not impudent;
Not greedily attached to families.
He should not commit any slight wrong,
so that other wise men might find fault in him.
May all beings be happy and safe,
may their hearts be wholesome.
Whatsoever living beings there are;
feeble or strong, long, stout or medium,
short, small or large,
seen or unseen.
Those dwelling far or near,
those who are born and those
who are to be born.
May all beings, without exception,
be happy minded.
Let not one deceive another nor despise any
person whatsoever in any place.
In anger or ill-will,
let him not wish any harm to another.
Just as a mother would protect her
only child at the risk of her own life,
even so let him cultivate a boundless heart
towards all beings.
Let thoughts of boundless love pervade the
whole world; above, below and across
without any obstruction,
without any hatred, without any enmity.
Whether he stands, walks, sits or lies down,
as long as he is awake,
he should develop this mindfulness.
This, they say is the Highest conduct here.
Not falling into error,
virtuous and endowed with insight,
he discards attachment to sensuous desires.
Truly, he does not come again;
to be conceived in a womb.
By firm determination of this truth
May I ever be well.
