Loving Kindness Sutra - Metta Sutta

By this practice, in accord with the true dhamma, I honor the Buddha.
By this practice, in accord with the true dhamma, I honor the Dhamma.
By this practice, in accord with the true dhamma, I honor the Sangha.

May I be free from enmity/danger; may I be free from mental suffering;
may I be free from physical suffering; may I take care of myself happily.

May my father and mother, and teachers, relatives and friends and fellow brahma farers,
may they be free from enmity; may they be free from mental suffering;
may they be free from physical suffering; may they take care of themselves happily.

In this grove, may all yogis be free from enmity, be free from mental suffering;
be free from physical suffering; take care of themselves happily.
May our guardian deities, in this temple, in this dwelling, in this place,
may the guardian deities be free from enmity, be free from mental suffering,
be free from physical suffering, take care of themselves happily.

May all beings, all living things, all creatures, all individuals, all personalities,
all females, all males, all noble ones, all who are not nobles, all deities,
all humans, all those in unhappy states, may they be free from enmity;
may they be free from mental suffering; may they be free from physical suffering;
may they take care of themselves happily. may they be free from suffering;
may they enjoy safety and abundance; have kamma as their true property.

May this merit of ours be apportioned to all beings.
Well spoken
