Calm Kindness
Protects All Beings!
The Blessed Buddha often
said:
With good will for the entire cosmos,
Cultivate an infinite &
boundless heart:
Above, below, all across and all around,
Beaming, without
any hostility or hate!
Sutta Nipāta I, 8
May all creatures, all breathing things,
all beings one and all, without exception,
experience
a joyous good fortune only!
May they never fall into any harm.
Anguttara Nikāya II, 72
Let no one deceive another,
or despise anyone anywhere,
or through anger or irritation
wish for another to suffer.
Sutta Nipāta I, 8
