The Release of Mind through Friendliness (Metta-ceto-vimutti):
Can be reached through systematic and continuous maintenance of this noble
wish:
May
all sentient beings without exception, on all 31 levels of individual
existence,
residing in the 3 realms, inconceivable in number, extending infinitely in
all 10 directions,
enduring boundlessly through all past, present and future time, to an
absolute, complete,
and endless degree, come to see it all as it really is, conquer all
craving and hostility,
reach utter harmlessness, and by that be
perfused with the ultimate bliss ... ! Yeah :-)

Undisturbable (Upekkhā):
May all the infinite number of sentient beings, without any
even
single exception,
in all 31 forms of individual existence, residing in the 3 realms, of
inconceivable number,
extending infinitely in all 10 directions, enduring eternally through all
past, present and future times,
to a completely infinite degree, develop Equanimity

Equanimity!
Yeah, may it be even so :-) In brevity the 4 Sublime Abidings permuted
with the 7 links to Awakening
shines, blazes, lifts, refines, elevates,
adorns, and protects supremely like indeed
nothing else ever can!
Going through systematically each morning keeps
all day smiling! Try it out. Come and see for yourself :-)
For free copy as a gift of Dhamma: May I
and all beings be freed by
friendliness forever thereby!
