Metta

Metta means loving-kindness.

THE METTA SUTTA




The Buddha's Teaching on Loving-kindness




This is what should be done




By one who is skilled in goodness,




And who knows the path of peace:




Let them be able and upright,




Straightforward and gentle in speech.




Humble and not conceited,




Contented and easily satisfied.




Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.




Peaceful and calm, and wise and skilful,




Not proud and demanding in nature.




Let them not do the slightest thing




That the wise would later reprove.




Wishing: In gladness and in safety,




May all beings be at ease.




Whatever living beings there may be;




Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,




The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen,




Those living near and far away,




Those born and to-be-born,




May all beings be at ease!




Let none deceive another,




Or despise any being in any state.




Let none through anger or ill-will




Wish harm upon another.




Even as a mother protects with her life




Her child, her only child,




So with a boundless heart




Should one cherish all living beings:




Radiating kindness over the entire world




Spreading upwards to the skies,




And downwards to the depths;




Outwards and unbounded,




Freed from hatred and ill-will.




Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down




Free from drowsiness,




One should sustain this recollection.




This is said to be the sublime abiding.




By not holding to fixed views,




The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,




Being freed from all sense desires,




Is not born again into this world.

Metta Love and Compassion to all.

[mistraljr]

E' necessario che l'uomo si avvicini sempre più al bene e si adoperi per preservare la propria mente dalla malvagità. La mente di colui che compie buone azioni di malavoglia, infatti, si diletta nel male (Buddha)
