Buddha spoke Pali. Sinhales...Beautiful Translation. Buddha spoke Pali. Sinhalese (Sri Lankan) Language is fully based and rooted to Pali. <br /><br />The meaning of All sutras can be understood in two ways. <br /><br />1) Moral Way - Think of developing morality, good, good future, good life, good next life, fortune in this life and next life. <br /><br />3) Arya Way - Aryas are those who are expecting to attain Enlightenment in this life. So the Karaneeya meththa suthra includes qualities one need have in order to become an Arya. Arya is One of those deciples who have actually witnessed the four noble truths or In other words (Aniccha,Dukka, Anatta - Ashwada, Adeenawa, Nissarana) to the self through the experienced mind. Dassanena Sampanna is actually establishing the Right View (Samma Ditti) in the mental activity. Once one establishes Samma Ditti correctly and coprehensively, he is an Stream Entrant (Sowan). Aryas are in other words those who have attained - Swan, Sakurdagami, Anagami, Arihath Margalapala. They are also termed Sangha. So Some of those translations, have taken the worldy meanings for words in Karaneeya Metta Suthra. But hidden among those worldly meaning, the actual Arya Meaning (Spiritual meaning) is burried. Those who wish enlightenment this life, should understand more philosophically about those, so that they could see the path to Arya Marga (Enligtenment) Describle in this Beautiful Sutra. <br /><br />May you all attain Happiness and Supreme Joy of Nirvana.
