Let none deceive another
Nor despise any person whatsoever in any
place.
Let him not wish any harm to
another
Out of anger or ill will.
Just as a mother would protect her only
child
At the risk of her own life.
Even so let him cultivate a boundless
heart
Toward all beings.
Let his thoughts of boundless
lover
Pervade the whole world,
Above, below and across without any
obstruction,
Without any hatred, without any
emnity.
- From the Buddhist
Metta-Sutra
