Blessings from the Buddha
Developing Loving Kindness, a Metta Meditation
Put away all hindrances, let your mind full of love pervade one quarter of the world, and so too the second quarter, and so the third, and so the fourth. And thus the whole wide world, above, below, around and everywhere, altogether continue to pervade with love-filled thought, abounding, sublime, beyond measure, free from hatred and ill-will.
(adapted from the Digha Nikaya, translated by Maurice Walshe, from Teachings of the Buddha, edited by Jack Kornfield)
