Karaniya Metta Sutta

Pāli|English| Karaṇīyamatthakusalena, yantaṃ santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca, This should be done by one skilled in goodness, one who seeks the path of peace: Sakko ujū ca suhujū ca, suvaco cassa mudu anatimānī, They should be able, upright and straightforward, kindly of speech, and gentle, without pride, Santussako ca, subharo ca, appakicco ca, sallahukavutti, Well content and easily supported, having few duties and frugal in their ways. Santindriyo ca, nipako ca, appagabbho, kulesu ananugiddho. Senses calmed, intelligent and modest; when with others there would be no greed. Na ca khuddaṃ samācare kiñci, yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṃ. They should not pursue the slightest thing that other wise people might speak against. Sukhino vā khemino hontu, sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā. May all beings, in gladness and in safety, may they all be happy in themselves. Ye keci pāṇabhūtatthi, tasā vā, thāvarā vā, anavasesā, Whatsoever living beings there are, weak or strong, omitting none, Dīghā vā ye mahantā vā, majjhimā rassakā aṇukathūlā,
