Karaniya Metta Sutta: The Buddha's Words on Loving-Kindness<br />This is what should be done<br /> By one who is skilled in goodness,<br />And who knows the path of peace:<br /> Let them be able and upright,<br />Straightforward and gentle in speech,<br /> Humble and not conceited,<br />Contented and easily satisfied,<br /> Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.<br />Peaceful and calm and wise and skillful,<br /> Not proud or demanding in nature.<br />Let them not do the slightest thing<br /> That the wise would later reprove.<br />Wishing: In gladness and in safety,<br /> May all beings be at ease.<br />Whatever living beings there may be;<br /> Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,<br />The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,<br /> The seen and the unseen,<br />Those living near and far away,<br /> Those born and to-be-born —<br />May all beings be at ease!<br /><br />Let none deceive another,<br /> Or despise any being in any state.<br />Let none through anger or ill-will<br /> Wish harm upon another.<br />Even as a mother protects with her life<br /> Her child, her only child,<br />So with a boundless heart<br /> Should one cherish all living beings;<br />Radiating kindness over the entire world:<br /> Spreading upwards to the skies,<br />And downwards to the depths;<br /> Outwards and unbounded,<br />Freed from hatred and ill-will.<br /> Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down<br />Free from drowsiness,<br /> One should sustain this recollection.<br />This is said to be the sublime abiding.<br /> By not holding to fixed views,<br />The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,<br /> Being freed from all sense desires,<br />Is not born again into this world.<br /><br />Source-{सुत्तपिटक}~{खुद्दकनिकाय}~खुद्दकपाठपाळि-९. मेत्तसुत्तं) <br /><br />#buddhahindi #buddhahindi #buddhateachings #buddhism #buddhastory #tripitaka #nameless #mettasutta #khuddaknikaya
