metta meditation

Mettā signifies friendship and non-violence, "a strong wish for the happiness of others," and also less obvious or direct qualities such as showing patience, receptivity, and appreciation. 

May I abide in well-being,

in freedom from hostility,

in freedom from ill-will,

in freedom from anxiety,

and may I maintain well-being in myself.

May I be released from all suffering,

and may I not be parted from the good fortune I have attained.

 

May we abide in well-being,

in freedom from anxiety,

and may we maintain well-being in ourselves.

and may we not be parted from the good fortune we have attained.

 

May all beings abide in well-being,
