KARANIYA METTA SUTTA THE BUDDHA' S WORDS ON LOVING KINDNESS（by schwoererd）
He who is skilful in his welfare, and wishes to attain that state of Peace should act thus:
He should be capable [of practice], Upright and very upright, Easy to instruct, gentle, and not arrogant
Content and easy to support, with few duties, of simple lifestyle,
with senses calmed and prudent, courteous and not overly attached to families
And should not commit the slightest wrong for which wise men may rebuke him. (Thus should meditate:) 'May all beings be well and safe. May they be happy'
Whatever living beings there may be, weak or strong, without exception, long, large, or middle-sized, short, small, or bulky;
Those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near,
those born as well as those seeking rebirth: May all beings be happy
May no one deceive another, nor despise anyone anywhere.
In anger or ill-will may they not wish each other harm
Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless mind towards all beings
Let one cultivate a boundless mind of friendliness (metta) for the entire world; above, below and across; unhindered without hatred, without enmity
Whether one stands, walks, sits or lies down, as long as one is awake,
one should sustain this mindfulness [of metta]. This is called here [in the Buddha's Teaching]
the 'Divine Living'
And not holding to [wrong] view, being virtuous,
endowed with right vision and discarding desire for sensual pleasures,
one surely never again will be reborn in a womb
