Translation: Amaravali Sangha 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 those living 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 mindfulness. That is said to be the sublime abiding.
