Loving-kindness "Prayer"

Metta Bhavana, wording by Dharmachari Seven



May all living beings be well
May all living beings be happy
May all living beings be well and happy

Happiness is coming to them
Happiness is being brought on by them
They are making others happy

They are enjoying a healthy, happy, and prosperous present

Moreover, they are joyfully developing

  • Forbearance
  • Virtue (sila)
  • Samadhi and
  • Noble wisdom

as they meet and overcome inevitable difficulties, hardships, and setbacks in life.

May all living beings long continue to be well
May all living beings long continue to be happy
May all living beings long continue to be well and happy!
